Embrun is an older Normandie class Battleship built in 794 A.S. The battlegroup was originally deployed to the Bretonian theater in 819 AS with orders to prevent Bretonian flanking maneuvers through Newcastle, and to probe the defenders' positions for weaknesses. Under the GRN's command, the battlegroup moved through Newcastle into Manchester and successfully routed the HMS Gwent and her battlegroup in 822 AS. Its forces were severely depleted in that action, and the Embrum remained behind enemy lines with tenuous logistical support until 825, when the Gallic Royal Intelligence petitioned the crown for its own command in the invasion, and was granted the under-manned Embrum Cohort to carry out unconventional strikes.

When the war was lost, the Embrun, loyal to the Gallic Royal Enclave's forces, had no safe path of egress. Deep behind enemy lines and cut off from the rest of the Enclave, the Embrun was eventually ambushed by a sizable Gaian battlegroup. An anonymous informant had provided the location of a previously uncharted jump hole to the Embrun's command staff weeks prior to the attack, and the depleted Embrun cohort, having exhausted their options, made the decision to transit the mysterious jump corridor.

The Embrun and what little remain of her escort are now trapped in the Drake system, under attack by unidentified vessels of various make, including what appear to be unmanned drones. Due either to distance or some form of communications jamming, the Embrun has lost contact with the rest of the Enclave. Having failed to locate any way out of the alien system and under repeated attack, there are whispers aboard the Embrun of plans to assault a hostile installation located near the system's star.
