The Battleship Gwent was one of four next generation Dunkirks rolled out of Southampton Shipyard in late 822 A.S. Initially earmarked as a new flagship for the destroyed Derby Great Fleet, the Gwent was deployed to Manchester to oversee the shoring up of defences against attacks of the Gallic Royal Navy. This service was cut short four months later when the vessel was irreparably crippled by a Gallic attack group led by the RNS Embrun. With fatal damage having been dealt to the propulsion systems and core, the Gwent was towed back to New London for assessment.

BMM engineering evaluations bluntly indicated that the only people mad enough to use a ruined hulk in the Gwent's state would be the squatters inhabiting the Hood. The fiscal expenditure involved in restoring the vessel was declared to be inexcusable, while the political cost of scuttling would be disastrous. In a compromise, the vessel was superficially patched and re-pressurised, with a Crecy Nuclear MOX reactor installed as a cost saving measure. Immobile and under-gunned, it was redeployed to Planet Sprague, Omega-3 early in 823 A.S..

While nominally subordinate to the Norfolk Great Fleet, the Gwent is now operated by the BPA as an orbital prison hulk and regional HQ to coordinate system security. With the BAF's resources stretched to breaking point, the constables of the BPA have been largely abandoned to police Omega-3 alone alongside the militiamen of the Civil Defence Initiative.
