Few people need to be reminded in the 21st century of the cost of European imperialism and colonization on indigenous and native cultures around the world.

Slavery, disease, land and resource appropriation, and the rapid disintegration of indigenous societies are all characteristics of European global expansion.

Yet in the Known Worlds, where sailing ships ply the Void and the mystic science of alchemy works wonders, Nelson's first command goes quite differently.
