The Normandie class was designed in the 660s as a versatile Battleship capable of both offensive and defensive actions. Since 670 A.G.S. until 710 A.G.S. it was produced in massive numbers by the Royal Navy shipyards, but the battles of the Second Gallic War revealed several critical flaws in the ship's construction. After that, no new Normandie ships were built. However, existing ships were retrofitted to install better power arrays, improved offensive capabilities, and better internal security sensors to prevent capture. Normandie battleships form a bulk of Gallia's Sirius invasion forces, along with more recent and better equipped Richelieu battleships and rearguard Charlemagne battleships.
Although many rejoiced at the Kusari Civil war coming to an end, and the reformation of the Kusari Empire, Gallia was not one of them. With a new Government came new ambitions, as well as increasing tensions between the two Houses. The Battleship Venisseux was deployed to the Lorraine gate in Tau-53 to both send a message to the Reformed Kusari Empire, and to neutralise the growing piracy and terrorism in the system, which was hampering Gallic interests.
As the most modern warship in service with the Grand Duchy of Burgundy, the Normandie-class Venisseux was christened as the flagship of the Confederal Defence Forces in Duchy space following the defection of Admiral Savatier and the Battleship Rocroi. Although the Venisseux is a newer and more advanced warship, her crew saw little to no action during the Second Gallic War as they enjoyed a comfortable post along the Kusari Border, repelling little more than small scale Maquis and Blood Dragon strikes along the vital trade artery. With the Rocroi and her cohort still at large, there is some concern regarding the eventuality of the relatively inexperienced Venisseux battlegroup confronting Admiral Savatier and his well decorated command staff on the field of battle. Despite these concerns, the Venisseux was still chosen to stand guard at Planet Nevers over the aging Epinal.
