- Location: Schesa
- Affiliation: Zweihander Union
- Accessibility: Though the Chancellery is located within the center of Schesa civil area, it has open areas such as the large lobby, cafetarias, etc, but also encompasses the offices of the central authority, which are ofcourse strictly off-limits for those who do not carry the proper clearance or have not been extended the privilige of entering these areas.
- Description: The Chancellery of Unity is a former palace belonging to the Piratelord who had conquered Schesa for their own goals, but prior to that it had also been in use as the palace for one of the forlorn great houses of the ancient Chiss Ascendancy. It is a rather stylistic building spanning over several kilometers in length and width, standing easily about seven hundred meters tall at its highest point. It has a central building with a combination of rotund and squared styling, two large towers seperated from the main building through two, long and high walled walkways and seperated from the main structure, there is also the large structure which acts as the gateway into the premise of the chancellery. There are also various smaller buildings on the premise dedicated to either military or civilian purposes such as barracks, a central command hub and seperated mess hall for the guards on the premise, a seperated armory, storage buildings for food and material of daily use within the chancellery such as par example cleaning products used by the logistical staff. Among these seperated buildings, there are also the repair atelier and dorms for staff working within the chancellery.
- The Hilt: The Hilt is the large building which seperates the premise of the Chancellery from the actual city itself, acting as sort of a gateway, with two large winding stairs leading up to the elevated grounds which comprise the premise of the Chancellery of Unity. It has been given the name 'the Hilt' because of its particular shape and in the way that through it's shape and use of a gateway it represents the base of the Zweihander which is the symbol of the Union. It's marble and granite construction outwardly veils the high technological marvels which reside within, such as the shield generators which can safeguard the entire city in which the Chancellery is located from any hostile actions from great distances. It also houses the registry for people entering the premises of the Chancellery and various smaller operational offices for the agencies within the Union.
- The Towers of the Left and the Right: The two towers seperated from the main building of the Chancellery act as the personal offices of both chancellors of the union. They are in essence completely the same, with a guard look out at the top of each tower, with a turbolaser placement and a small shield generator for emergencies. Each tower also has a seperated basement underground with a seperated storageroom, library and archive.
- The Grand Capittel: Once used as the estate of a major Chiss family, the Grand Capittel now acts as the central hub of authority, housing offices for each branch and division within the union to make sure there is always a form of representation. It also houses the grand conference aula where members of each division can convene for discussions on big projects and the state of affairs within the faction. On the bottom floor it also houses a lobby and cafetaria for people and citizens that have an appointment with any of the representative offices within the building or for the people that work at the Chancellery. The very top floor of the building houses a guard post, a few small weapon placements to defend against aerial raids and a shield generator to safeguard the main building in case of an emergency.
- Hangarbay: The hangar bay of the Chancellery is conveniently hidden under the main building and is comprised out of several levels and a large number of swiveling and rotating platforms with elevators to rest vehicles and smaller ships during their owners' stay at the chancellery. The entrance of this hangar bay is located outside of the actual premise and is only visible from above as it is a horizontally sliding gate located at the center of one of the larger column buildings in front of the Hilt.
SECURITY
High
- Bewachen
- NZ HP2 Turbolaser battery
- Deflector Shield generator
- Shield Generator Bunker
- SDS Sparrow
- ZMD-C1 Mercury
- ZMD-C2 Jupiter
The Bewachen as mentioned before are responsible for the safety and security over the entirity of the premise and will also be present at the open entry areas, where they can act as coordinators of the hired security and act in cases that demand a more professional approach, where lethal actions are approved and even demanded in regards to the situation. They have a variety of guard posts and stations, such as the barracks, the Hilt, the towers of the Left and the Right and ofcourse an office of their own within the very main building of the chancellery itself.
There are about eight heavy turbolaser placements spread accross the entire premise of the Chancellery, with one battery for each of the seperated towards, two placements on The Hilt and an additional four of them located on the corners of the premise, ensuring the outmost security against heavy enemy fire from air or spacefaring vessels which could pose a threat to not only the chancellery, but the city as a whole.
The Chancellery also boasts four medium sized shield generators located at the two seperated towers, the Hilt and the main conference room of the Chancellery itself, with a larger shield generator located in the basement level of the Chancellery's main building, which when activated can create a shield which can encompass not just the chancellery itself, but the entire surrounding premises and part of the city in which the chancellery is located.
Underneath the Chancellery, there are also two basement levels dedicated solely to the safety and security of the surrounding area, with one basemen floor holding the hangar bays for ten squadrons of SDS Sparrows to provide decent air support in emergencies and a few deactivated battallions of ZMD-C1 and C2 battle and security droids.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Originally, the buildings which now house the Chancellery of Unity acted as the large estate of one of the ancient Chiss Ascendency's high houses, which explains the rather intricate and opulent design. It has been a bulwark of wealth and power long before the most recent events played out, yet after the fall of the Chiss Ascendancy and the many reiterations thereof, it continued to serve as the palace for those in power on the planet Schesa, up until the pirate invasion. When the Pirate lord Baltra and his crew took over the planet in a violent invasion, they also used the palace as their base.
However, after Baltra's sequential defeat of both in space where he lost his fleet and on the ground where his forces were wiped away by those who came under the name of the Zweihander Union, it was decided by the new rulers of the planet, that the palace would be restored and even improved upon with the intention of using it solely as the new seat of power and representative office of the Zweihander Union's central authority, housing the chambers of the chancellors, their personal offices and representative offices of every branch and division within the Union's government.
