His trait...My ship and I are one....says nothing about having to break away, should he happen to be based by opponents, sooooo what say ye all?

You're placing, not moving, so no break-away.

edit: remember the two key components that lead to break-away being required are
1) being given an action to move and 2) beginning the movement adjacent to an opposing figure. If either condition does not exist, you don't have to roll for break away.
