Issoudun station serves as the off-world headquarters for the Royal Navy in Berry, Auvergne and Provence. It was built by the Navy's own construction department in 595 AGS, shortly after the construction of the nearby Fourchambault Shipyard was completed. Issoudun has always housed some of the crucial strategic planning facilities responsible for planning the Sirius invasion. While many of those plans had to be revised after the events of the Second Gallic War, the strategy teams onboard Issoudin still gather and process large amounts of tactical and recon information collected in Sirius space. The station also has fighter docks from where Navy patrols are dispatched to patrol Berry and Auvergne, systems with a relatively high pirate presence compared to the Core Worlds. One of their main tasks is patrolling the area around Fourchambault, the largest and most prominent shipyard of the Navy, which is currently operating at its highest possible capacity to provide new ships and spare parts for the Sirius invasion fleets. Securing the shipyard to ward off any potential attackers, namely the Council and the Maquis, is crucial for the success of military operations in Sirius.

Interestingly, the station is located exactly in the navigation map center of the Berry system. Commonly the navigation map would center around the primary star of the system, or their gravitational average point. In this case, however, the first Gallic expedition into Berry made a mapping mistake that no one bothered to fix. Later, Issoudun was built in the central point of the system, "right inside the sun", as the station's elder settlers would sometimes say.
