Napoleon Bonapart was born on the Planet Earth. He began to rise to greatness through military pursuits; the relatively unimportant French Revolution gave him the chance to display his abilities, and eventually he was called to the Martian front by Morpheus. This was the point in history where space travel became business, and Earth's importance began to fade.
Napoleon found Mars in brutal condition; most soldiers suffered from the dreaded "red-sand rash", supplies were depleted, and overall moral was shot. He took it upon himself to return greatness to the former Planet of War, and succeeded greatly. He forced old enemies out of the planet, establishing the Treaty of Campo Marso Fornio, which brought him great popularity. He often returned to Earth to ensure that his little France (a place close to his heart) was keeping well. In the grand scheme of things, Earth became a minor house-keeping item for Napoleon, but home is where the heart is.
After the success his force had enjoyed on Mars, Napoleon took a leap of faith and attempted to conquer the water planet, Saturn. Some think that it is dry, but my cunning eyes tell me a different story. This was a brave move for Napoleon; he had done great work as the Emperor of the Lands, but water was not his comfort zone. Unfortunately, this great man was overcome by the residents of Saturn, who had come from Great Britain with a large spaceship fleet capable of crushing Bonapart.
Since Napoleon could not take on Saturn in any form of spaceship warfare, he employed his Earthly ways of thinking and attempted to engage in an economic war. Unfortunately, currency had no meaning in outer space, and his power began to diminish. Napoleon's failure to conquer Jupiter, where a great amount of Russians had created a livelihood, Bonapart's power began to erode, like the lead on the bottom of his boots. Though he was eventually exiled, this man did great things for opening up the Galaxy.
