No discussion of the 19th Century is complete without Napoleon. We begin with Charles Phillips’ eulogy, summarizing the strangeness and contradiction of the most influential man of his time. Followed by 7 brief speeches by Napoleon himself.

In the two years since Caleb and the Crew of the Paladin battleship’s victorious return to Earth, the world has amassed a sizeable armada of amazing ships that most would say is beyond remarkable. The world has banded together like never before, as some believe it is the human spirit that has driven our race to succeed in creating this magnificent fleet. But for those in power, they know it is Caleb and the technology of Paladin, which has gifted the human race with the ability to win.

The Year is 2079 and the Earth has recently been discovered by a ruthless alien race known as the T-Challa. Their plan is to enslave the population and to strip the Earth of all its resources to maintain and expand their vast empire. However the Earth is not without hope, another alien race called the X'ena's have sent a symbiotic probe to Earth to help defend her from the T-Challa. The Probe which takes the name Paladin merges with a human named Caleb Ocoda as well as an ancient battleship from a century ago and transforms both into a force to protect the Earth.

Carla Ocoda has grown up in the shadow of her father's legacy, always being compared to his great actions, and then always reminded of the alternate future where she became the doom of humankind. However, even with all that is thrust upon her, she has grown up to be a normal young girl. Thanks, due in part to Qui Shi and Andrew Jackson's constant care. Now a message from the past is sent to Carla from her father.
