The Alliance Fleet - also known as the Alliance Starfleet, Alliance Navy, and Rebel Fleet - represents the sum total of all spaceborne assets operated by the Rebel Alliance. Originally established as a guerilla force to stage hit and run operations against the Imperial Navy, it has grown in line with the expansion of the Rebellion, and now considers sector defense one of it's key objectives.
Vessels of the Alliance Fleet are a motley assortment of ships commendeered from and donated by other militaries, and craft converted for military applications from other functions, such as freighters and transports. However, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, and with shipyards on Mon Calamari and Sullust now available, the military capabilities of the Alliance Fleet have grown dramatically.
Though originally established as independent commands, the changing nature of the Rebel Alliance has led to the Alliance Starfighter Corps and Alliance Support Services being absorbed under the Fleet umbrella.

Support Services
Created as a separate branch when the Alliance was a fragmented and scattered organisation, Alliance Support Services encompasses everything needed to support and aid the efforts of the Rebellion. Originally, Support Services provided the personnel who operated and maintained Rebel strongholds such as Echo Base, and the facility on Yavin IV; with the Alliance now boasting numerous homeworlds from which to operate however, many of those bases are now operated by the local Sector Forces.
Currently, the bulk of Support Services is focussed in three key areas: logistics, medical, and construction. Support Services maintains a fleet of freighters and transports, used to distribute supplies between Alliance worlds, and to support the efforts of the Ordnance and Supply Command. That same fleet also includes a number of medical frigates, which are often deployed to support military operations on the front lines of the Galactic Civil War.
Lastly - but by no means least - Support Services also coordinates with various groups to ensure that the Alliance Fleet is equipped with the starships and starfighters it requires. Much of the actual construction of vessels is outsourced to private companies like the SoroSuub Corporation, Mon Calamari Shipyards, and Slayn & Korpil, though the agency does maintain direct oversight of Alliance Underground Engineering, which supervises the current operations on Mustafar.

The Wheel
A highly classified and secret component of the Alliance Fleet, The Wheel is a rag-tag, fugitive fleet of transports and freighters that contains the exiled survivors of the Jedi Order. Forced to evacuate their enclave on Vortex by the Empire, they now remain constantly on the move, employing the same sorts of tactics that were used before Endor to keep the Alliance High Command safe. The Wheel is secretly defended by the Alliance Fleet: a small task force of starships is led by Commodore Vansen Tyree, including the elite Rogue Squadron.
