Nimes is the second largest settlement (after Planet Quillan) in Languedoc, a system located on the very edge of the Gallic space. For nearly 15 years, it was one of the few places controlled by the lawful Gallic forces after Languedoc system was overrun by the Council. However, in 814 A.S. it was quietly penetrated by Council special forces with the help of loyal civilians. In a few hours, all Police and Navy defenders were neutralized, and the Council reported the most bloodless victory in the history of Second Gallic War. Nimes was abandoned by Council forces prior to the GRN invasion of Languedoc, allowing the Gallic Navy to reclaim the station without firing a single shot.

he station is now one of the Confederal Defense Force's most important bases, as it is on the frontier of the Gallic Hebrides region and by extension, the Royal Enclave. Trade to the Taus at this intersection is relatively quiet as there is no longer a war front to supply, and Bretonia is as of yet not welcoming of Gallic Corporations.

The base became the first to fall to a foreign military during the initial stages of the Kusari invasion of Gallia in 827. Being located so close to the border meant the station had little chance against the Kusari fleet, however the retreating Pamiers allowed the base to last longer than it would normally. Fighting around the station however caused significant damage to the station, and even after it was captured, its docking facilities remain too damaged to accept regular docking.
