Embrun is an older Normandie class [[Battleship]] built in 794 AS. Although less efficient in action then the newer Richelieu class Battleships, the Embrun has been retrofitted with the latest technologies to help overcome these deficiencies. The vessel was originally deployed to the northern systems of the [[Bretonian]] theatre in 819 AS with orders to prevent Bretonian flanking attacks from [[Newcastle]] and to probe the defenders' positions for weaknesses. In response to the renewed offensive of 822 AS and a general redeployment of Tau assets to the front line, the Embrun was moved to the [[Manchester]] system.

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.

After taking command of the Cohort, the GRI dedicated it to SIGINT in Manchester for months, searching for targets of opportunity. When the GRN fleet carried out its initial invasion of New London, the Embrun struck Birmingham Station, then burned for the Newcastle jump hole and arrived at Belfast Production Facility to restock and repair, where a GRI team captured the station by infiltrating the command module and shutting down all life support systems. Even with a partial-strength cohort, the GRI has proven its case to the King with ruthless abandon, with the destruction of a major BAF fuel refinery and the total capture of Belfast in Newcastle.
