The Fleet of the Grand Marshal was a breakaway force around a third as large as the Imperial Navy. It served as the invasion force during the Battle of Hoth and the Battles of Yavin during the Grand Marshal's rise to power.
After his self-declaration that he was Galactic Emperor, as opposed to Ysanne Isard, he renamed his fleet the Grand Imperial Fleet of Aden'la Darasuum.
Its primary functions were first to protect his base on Iego, then to invade and overrun Rebel forces on Hoth, Yavin, Anchorhead and to destroy the captured Death Star III, renamed by the Rebels as the Hope Beacon. After that, the ships of the Fleet of Aden'la Darasuum were to orbit those planets and enforce Imperial rule there.

Key ships of the fleet
The Fleet of the Grand Marshal's primary capital ship was the Venator-class Star Destroyer, and the main frigate was the Acclamator assault ship. They were relatively light and fast as opposed to the Imperial-class ships and the Victory-class frigates. Another reason was because the Grand Marshal was short in money, and could not afford a massive fleet, whether by direct purchase from Kuat Drive Yards or bribing Imperial commanders into giving up their ships.
The flagship of the Grand Marshal was a *Aden'la-class Star Dreadnought, around half as long as the Executor. It had at least five bridges, and, with a some assistance, could tear through a planetary shield and from that point on single-handedly perform orbital bombardment on a Kessel-sized planet.
Organization
The Fleet of the Grand Marshal was a mixed-arms navy, showing strength in both capital ships, frigates and starfighters. This was demonstrated by the usage of smaller capital ships, namely the Venator-class and opposed to the Imperial-class star destroyer.
His tactic was to form a long line of broadside-firing Venators, and to have the Acclamators fill in gaps in the line (a unique use of frigates), assaulting enemy capital ships and preventing enemy starfighters from attacking the destroyers. The ratio of frigates to capital ships was unusual, usually much more than the usual.
Line
A line would usually consist of seven to eight capital ships. The overall command of the line was given to a Commodore. A line was the backbone of a naval force: they would fire broadsides at passing cruisers and use rotating turrets to gun down surrounding starfighters. A Commodore would have complete control over who was to fire where and at who, and was the lowest-ranking officer who could order a general retreat.
Sub-line
This was used to refer to the commander of the frigates that surrounded the line. The sub-line would fill the gaps in the line of sail and fly around opposing ships and fire at them. They also acted as physical barriers between the starfighter force and the line. They would most often be commanded by a Line Captain - an explanation why so below.
