SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Headquarters: Schesa System
- Ports of Call:
- Goals: Though mainly operating as a temporary forward base during military campaigns, the fleet also holds the distinctive job and goal of a relief force, particularily whenever the Chancellor is anywhere within the Union, his fleet will also be present in the system and take over protective and patrol duties from the regular fleets stationed within a system, allowing them to do some repairs, replacements, take some time off, etc.
- Reputation: Within the Union itself it is a fleet which generally gets people excited, as it is the clearest, visible proof that the Chancellor of the Left is present within the system. However, it is also supposed to act as a deterent to those opposing the union, as it is made up out of the newest additions to the Union's fleet and generally lays emphasis on a combination of overwhelming firepower and numbers, making this a strong symbol to squash any potential rebellions or uprisings by its presence alone.
- Fleet Size: Medium to Huge [depending on the requirements of its use, though generally it consists mainly out of a core of ships with the Flagship of the Chancellor at the center of it all.]

Charles Castex
: Though already a competent Naval officer and fleet running member of the navy, this man in his current rank of Commodore is to be considered on of the leading figureheads within the Bismarck Alpha fleet, though his presence is usually only necessary when the Regular Chancellery fleet is mandated to reform into the Grand Chancellery Fleet. -
Ben Craig
: Though his occupation no longer sees him as a constant within the naval power of the Zweihander Union, as he retains his rank of Admiral despite his transfer to the R&D division, in times of strife, he among others will also be called upon to add his personal fleet to the Grand Fleet. - Commander Harmon: A loyal bridge officer aboard the Usurper, who has seen many a years of service under the Chancellor and acts as the communication liaison between all the ships and fleets, also having the personal authority of the Chancellor totake command in the Chancellor's abscence.
-
Credius
: The lynchpin of the fleet, in his role as Chancellor of the Left, this fleet is his to command and to control, though when the fleet merges with others into the Grand fleet, he has to act in concordance to the professional naval officers of flag officer status.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Chancellery fleet had been devised as a means to project power and strength through the means of a large, well built flagship and a good combination of carriers and superbly powerful star destroyers. The designs themselves had already been existent during the time when the members of the Zweihander Union were still part of the Imperial directorate, but only recently were these designs pushed through in the sense that it was necessary to have a fleet which could both act as a forward base of operations and workstation when the Chancellor of the Left was not present upon the homeworld of Schesa or as a deterent towards potential enemies, as the core fleet was capable of combining with other fleets in several configurations deviced for specific tasks and needs the Union had.
As a rapid response to the growing tensions in the galaxy, it was decided that the core fleet would brand a unique symbol of its own, to make it easily recognisable as the fleet carrying one of the leading representatives of the Union, thus acting as an inspiring symbol ofunity and solidarity among the naval forces, but also as a symbol of pride and power to those that dared to oppose the will of the Union.
Though this is the current design, there is no presedent witholding the fleet from expanding or alternating its core ships within the foreseeable future.
