	The Empire is famous for its “Alkahest” a Universal solvent that essentially acts as green-super Napalm. Presumably it’s made from Hex-Goo similar to the Rj-1027 produced by The Enlightened, though The Empire is keen to keep it all to itself. In battle this green fire is employed by all sorts of incendiary weapons & munitions, these Alchemical weapons cause extra disorder to ship they hit.

	The Nautilus is a Prototype Morgan-Class that’s much better than the regular kind (I guess the production version is less resource intensive?) boasting extra Torpedoes, a better engine & an Elite crew. You can only bring one since it’s Unique & since it’s a “Mercenary” battlefleet, any oner faction can field it. The Crown does not get any special bonusses for bringing her, other than they fact that the Crown player probably already has a Submarine that they can convert into the Nautilus. Used to be a weird 1-ship only fleet but now the Nautilus can be accompanied by up to 3 other Crown Submarine units, which at the moment mean 1 more Chainsaw sub squadron, 1 pack of the little Canadian torpedo coffins & that’s it, you can’t bring duplicate units in the Nautilus fleet & the Crown doesn’t have a 3rd type od submarine that isn’t also a flagship.

After Napoleon dies France descends into another civil war while the Imperium takes its place in terrorising Europe.
	After a period of rebuilding the descendant of Napoleon’s brother (who fled to Spain) reclaimed the French crown & began reviving the nation, however even a reborn France could not feasibly stand up to the other global powers (mainly the Imperium & Crown) and so, upon realising that the Italian’s had reached a similar conclusion, Napoleon proposed that the two nations form the Latin Alliance as a rival power block to make sure neither country got left behind in the coming techno boom, bringing Spain in later by virtue of Nepotism with the others countries mainly joining later once it turned out this Alliance thing was actually working out quite well (even though France seems to be the only really enthusiastic member. ~~Probably because they are de-facto in charge.)~~		After a period of rebuilding the descendant of Napoleon’s brother (who fled to Spain) reclaimed the French crown (why?) & began reviving the nation, however even a reborn France could not feasibly stand up to the other global powers (mainly the Imperium & Crown) and so, upon realising that the Italian’s had reached a similar conclusion, Napoleon proposed that the two nations form the Latin Alliance as a rival power block to make sure neither country got left.

	While each member has its own Navy & fighting style, Naploeon has made good on the technology sharing aspect of the Alliance & so all factions can field their Heat Lance's, fancy laser guns that are no longer rolling “Light crits”, instead regular crits are better & all the fires they cause spread extra disorder on target ships.		While each member has its own Navy & fighting style, Napoleon is silly.
	Alliance carrier-planes are notably better than normal thanks to the little heat lancettes they mount instead of guns resulting in a deadly anti-ship strike craft which the Italians just copied wholesale because they were too lazy to design some themselves (that’s literally the reason).

	The Kingdom of Spain joins the Alliance through the use of a single unit, which does not yet have a model just artwork & rules ~~(it’s a very pretty piece of artwork though)~~. Their one unit is a single ~~(rather pretty)~~ airship, it’s an old class of “aero galleon” that’s been retrofitted with newer technologies to become a much more modern flying warship (Putting French Levant tech into airships to just make them better at being airships is an interesting concept). Maybe in the future Spain will get models & become the Alliances aerial sub faction. But for now it’s just 1 unit with no model ~~& 1 pretty picture of that unit~~		The Kingdom of Spain joins the Alliance through the use of a single unit, which does not yet have a model just artwork & rules.

	The Celestial Empire consists of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam & a bunch of other Asian nations. It was formed when the Emperor Ming (not ~~a very~~ fitting Emperor name unless it's a Flash Gordon thing) took to the throne & was faced with a conundrum, what to do about the cycle of corruption that was constantly befalling Chinese Emperors as well as every other royal lineage in the world? He was a Great Emperor sure, but his son? His Grandson? Sooner or later the Ming Dynasty would fall into the same decadence & incompetence that had allowed him to overthrow his predecessor. The only thing that could save his Dynasty would be if he himself was immortal. & it’s here when things get weird.

	Shortly afterwards Ming is contacted by Tian Shang Warrior Monks who have found “The Celestial Gift” a shard of the Hex (A powerful Space Alien, unrelated to the Watchers which are the aliens that the Enlightened have been studying. The Hex is its own dark Alien god-thing pursued across the galaxy by a religious order keen on snuffing it out & has been broken into a bunch of shards. As Wild West Exodus factions: Hex, Holy Order & Watchers) They had trapped the artifact in a cage of jade which prevented it from communicating with the other Hex Shards, & thus allowed them & later Ming to wield the full extent of its poorly defined powers without the threat of an evil alien worshipping cult showing up to take their god back. Using its powers he brought the leaders of all the different nations surrounding China & brought them in on his plan, using the Powers of the Hex every leader would be psychically linked with one another in a semi-conscious dream-state through which they can instantly plan & co-ordinate their actions as leaders, in this Dream State no one could obscure the truth from their fellow members meaning they are physically unable to lie to one another, ensuring that the members of this Celestial Council would only be able to work towards the progress of the Empire as a whole. Each member state would have its own specialty (I.E. Hunting, The Navy, The Army, Agriculture), though each member state still does non-specialty things to a lesser extent, I.E though Japan is the head of the navy all nations still have a coastal defence force, all of them have an army, only one nation was the Empire’s dedicated breadbasket but all nations practice agriculture to some extent. Officially every leader who sat on the council was equal but in practise the Eldest member was defacto-in-charge, also China is far & away the largest & also houses the Celestial Gift, which probably gives them some extra sway. Since Ming was wielding literal magic, every leader he approached believed him & elected to join his Empire, allowing Ming to move onto step 2 of his Imperial Project: ““Immortality””.

It was formed when the Emperor Ming (not very fitting Emperor name) took to the throne & was faced with a conundrum, what to do about the cycle of corruption that was constantly befalling Chinese Emperors as well as every other royal lineage in the world? He was a Great Emperor sure, but his son? His Grandson? Sooner or later the Ming Dynasty would fall into the same decadence & incompetence that had allowed him to overthrow his predecessor. The only thing that could save his Dynasty would be if he himself was immortal. & it’s here when things get weird.

	Shortly afterwards Ming is contacted by Tian Shang Warrior Monks who have found “The Celestial Gift” a shard of the Hex (A powerful Space Alien, unrelated to the Watchers which are the aliens that the Enlightened have been studying. The Hex is its own dark Alien god-thing pursued across the galaxy by a religious order keen on snuffing it out & has been broken into a bunch of shards. As Wild West Exodus factions: Hex, Holy Order & Watchers) They had trapped the artifact in a cage of jade which prevented it from communicating with the other Hex Shards, & thus allowed them & later Ming to wield the full extent of its poorly defined powers without the threat of an evil alien worshipping cult showing up to take their god back. Using its powers he brought the leaders of all the different nations surrounding China & brought them in on his plan, using the Powers of the Hex every leader would be psychically linked with one another in a semi-conscious dream-state through which they can instantly plan & co-ordinate their actions as leaders, in this Dream State no one could obscure the truth from their fellow members meaning they are physically unable to lie to one another, ensuring that the members of this Celestial Council would only be able to work towards the progress of the Empire as a whole. Each member state would have its own specialty (I.E. Hunting, The Navy, The Army, Agriculture), though each member state still does non-specialty things to a lesser extent, I.E though Japan is the head of the navy all nations still have a coastal defence force, all of them have an army, only one nation was the Empire’s dedicated breadbasket but all nations practice agriculture to some extent. Officially every leader who sat on the council was equal but in practise the Eldest member was defacto-in-charge, also China is far & away the largest & also houses the Celestial Gift, which probably gives them some extra sway. Since Ming was wielding literal magic, every leader he approached believed him & elected to join his Empire, allowing Ming to move onto step 2 of his Imperial Project: ““Immortality””.
