Chameleon and Starbuck at the chancery aboard Rising Star (TOS: "The Man with Nine Lives").

A chancery is an establishment with games of chance and other gambling events. Chanceries will also have other adjacent amenities, including live performances from various artists, fine dining, and the consumption of victuals and fumarellos.

During the Thousand Yahren War, chanceries abound for Colonial Warriors, as Boomer notes that he never came across one that didn't depend on military pay vouchers to sustain their operations (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

Carillon[edit]

The new Colonial refugees, recently escaping their worlds' destruction, discover a lone chancery on Carillon's surface. This chancery is remarkable in its exception that the players can't lose.

The situation proves too good to be true, however, as the chancery is discovered to be an Ovion lure to capture and consume people as livestock, in order to sustain their number in the tylium mines.

The chancery is destroyed when the fire in the tylium mine, accelerated by turbolaser fire pummeling its surface from the Imperious Leader's basestar, and detonates the planet (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

T.S.S. Rising Star[edit]

The T.S.S. Rising Star is equipped with a chancery as part of its many amenities. Starbuck tries out a new pyramid system at this chancery, using a week's salary for himself and Apollo as his stake. He ends up meeting Chameleon at the chancery, and the two immediately make a connection (TOS: "The Man with Nine Lives").

Apollo and Boomer end up at the chancery aboard Rising Star in the course of trying to defend Starbuck against his murder charge. They seek out Chella, table three's pyramid dealer, who reveals that he is one of three people in the Fleet who are blackmailed by Ortega, the murder victim (TOS: "Murder on the Rising Star").

Notes[edit]

  • Chanceries are akin to real world casinos.
