The Grande Guillotine was build before the Second Gallic War, as a guard ship, but with another name: Battleship Enfer. When the war started, it was sent as one of the first Battleships to deal with the Council. After 9 years of serving in the war, it has been heavily damaged by council ships and had to be called back into the homeland. As the Navy already had newer and better Battleships, they wanted to scrap the parts. But, as the Legion of the Damned was refounded in 816 A.S., the new Lord Mareshal, Enzo du Sable, needed a Flagship. Low on funds, he saved the old Battleship and hired the best Gallic technicians and armourers to reconstruct it to it's former glory and make it suitable for modern warfare. As the primary objective of the Legion was to capture and deal with criminals/prisoners, the Battleship was completely refitted: It became tougher, better, stronger. All of the old barracks were made into over 800 Prison Cells. The old training grounds have been transformed to an execution plaza - with about 111 Guillotines. This is why Enzo gave his ship the name "Grande Guillotine" - it should be a symbol of terror for his enemies, and of pride for his allies. Furthermore, the docking bays have been expanded so that the Ship is now able to carry the double amount of ships. The old center in the middle of the ship has been transformed into a great arena - for prisoners to fight till death, as gladiators, and the winner would become a Legionnaire. The remaining, small space was transformed into barracks for the Legion Troops deployed on the ship - either for ground missions, or to board another ship. Of course the hull and equipment was also improved to stay head to head against other Battleships.
Since then, the Grande Guillotine has been deployed in the edge systems, mostly dealing with the Council. It is rumored that over 100 prisoners are executed each day, and most enemies flee when they observe the terrible sight of the Grande Guillotine.
