The New London system is the capital system of the Bretonia space. Due to the extensive mining and industrial operations, this system is heavily polluted. Most asteroid fields, as well as the South Hampton Debris field, are hazardous due to explosive gas pockets and radiation fields. Therefore, caution is usually advised to anyone attempting to travel outside the trade lanes.

With [[Leeds]] now firmly under control of the Crown and [[Liberty|Liberty's]] forces pushed back to [[Cortez]] and [[Magellan]], [[Gallia|Gallia's]] struggle with overextension has forced them to make a difficult decision. Seven years of war and a burgeoning front line far from home have left their military leaders with only two options: entrench themselves in [[Edinburgh]] and [[Leeds]] and cease their offensives, leaving the [[Sirian]] betrayers with time to lick their wounds, or a final concerted push into New London to bring the [[Bretonia|Bretonians]] to their knees once and for all. Opting for the latter approach, Gallia has discovered a new flank from which to assault the Bretonian capital. The single largest fleet of warships in human history has made a double pronged push into New London, ravaging the system from the Newcastle Gate to [[Southampton Shipyard|Southampton]] in what has been dubbed the New London blitz, encircling the capital world itself. The remnants of Bretonia's battered fleet have formed a battle line around their homeworld spearheaded by the Suffolk, Essex, and the prototype Carrier Warwick. With retreat not an option, the Bretonians are determined to make Gallia bleed for every inch.

Southampton Wreck

Throughout the war against Kusari and later Gallia. Southampton Shipyard was always a vital manufacturing and production center of the Bretonia Armed Forces. That same military significance made it the fulcrum of Gallia's first forays into the New London system, and the reason for the subsequent of the York and her Battlegroup in the Station's vicinity.

A colossal structure, it was the birthplace of the Bretonian fleet. Its yards were organized around an enormous structure know by Southampton's worker and the Bretonian Armed Forces as "The Bridge". It was an objekt of pride fro Bretonia, a symbol of the brilliance, dedication and ingenuity of the people and the main hub for logistic operations through over a decade of continual warfare.

As the beating heart of the Bretonian war effort, it was the inevitable target of the Gallic Royal Navy. With the lessons learned from Glasgow, LD-14 and Stokes, the Armed Forces took steps ensure that the Station, only a stone's throw away from New London, would not fall into the enemy's hands. As the "Blitz" arrived, the commanding Officer of Battleship York issued both the evacuation and demolition order of the Shipyard.
