The '''''Edmund Davion''''' was a ''[[Davion II (WarShip class)|Davion II]]''-class destroyer in service with the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] as the FSS ''Edmund Davion'' during the [[First Succession War]]. In May [[2788]], the ''Edmund Davion'' was deployed as an escort for the [[First Davion Guards]] alongside a sister ship, the [[Duke Henry|FSS ''Duke Henry'']], in a counterattack in the [[Cartago]] system led by [[First Prince]] [[John Davion]]. Cartago had been captured by the [[Draconis Combine]] during the mass invasion of the [[Federated Suns]] that began in May [[2787]], and the attack on Cartago was one of three major attacks taking place under [[Operation SOLAR SHIELD]], an attempt by Prince John to disrupt the invasion by attacking on the Terran flank of the invasion route, targeting in particular the front being led by [[Coordinator of Worlds|Coordinator]] [[Minoru Kurita (28th c.)|Minoru Kurita]] personally.<ref name="FSWp40">''First Succession War'', pp. 40–41: "Fighting The Tsunami"</ref><ref name="FSWp41">''First Succession War'', p. 41: "An Expensive Learning Curve"</ref>

The AFFS force was supported from armor and infantry forces drawn from regional militias within the Marlette Combat Region, and the Guards were able to land on Cartago largely unopposed, other than a brief skirmish with a pair of ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]''-class destroyers above the planet. Thinking that they had the upper hand, the Guards were nearly lured into a trap at the spaceport near the capital city - but Prince John spotted that something was wrong, and managed to fall back with most of his troops before the nuclear weapon waiting for them could claim more than a few of the Guards and their [[aerospace fighter]] escort as victims.<ref name="FSWp40"/><ref name="FSWp41"/>
