Division Overview

The Division d'autumne was formed in 743 A.G.S. by the Marine Nationale Gauloise following the wake of an unexpected, dishonourable invasion by the Empire of Kusari. The division consisted of three newly-built Gallant-class Gallic Destroyers, built entirely from scratch, unlike the majority of its sister ships which were converted from pre-Confederacy Triumph-class that had participated in the Gallic War. The division also includes the destroyer's support ships, namely refueling freighters and fighter escorts.

After its foundation, the division was immediately assigned to the Languedoc front as a vanguard unit to slow down the Kusarian blitz into the system. This deployment has proven to be incredibly successful, and approximately 20% of all Kusarian casualties were directly caused by the Division d'Automne, and contributed in the destruction of many more. The three destroyers were named after the French Republican calendar months of Autumn: Vendemiaire, Brumaire and Frimaire.

The destroyers have been deployed with experimental weaponry developed and trialed during the Gallic War. As the majority of equipment was developed within the Core Systems, these weapons never reached the Bretonian Front and remained undisturbed until the end of the war and the formation of the Confederacy. Their effectiveness is being closely monitored as a trial to observe the weaponry's effectiveness in real combat scenarios.
