   The DSS Aleksander was a battlecruiser and the flagship of the UED Expeditionary Force during their invasion of the Koprulu Sector. It was commanded by Admiral Gerard DuGalle; other crew included Malmsteen. Alexei Stukov was also stationed on the Aleksander.

    During the early stages of the Brood War, The Aleksander first appeared at an unknown terran colony where the UED unleashed zerg upon a group of colonists as a means of observing the zerg in action. The Aleksander remained above the battlefield, never provided any fire support for the militia on the ground. Satisfied with the demonstration, DuGalle ordered the ship leave the planet, leaving the colonists to their fate.

    The ship was present at Char after the UED successfully pacified the Second Overmind. It was from the ship that DuGalle confronted by Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, who warned him that the UED's control of the zerg would be short-lived. The ship left the field of battle as its accompanying valkyrie missile frigates engaged Kerrigan's zerg mutalisks.

    After the UED was soundly defeated by Kerrigan, DuGalle composed a final letter to his wife and shot himself in his quarters. The zerg swarms overtook the UED fleet soon after, and the Aleksander was overcome by the swarm along with the rest of the fleet.
