both would be PS 10 and once a ships shields were down admiral could use fleet officer to give himself and brath a focus thus giving brath 2 focuses one to use during combat and one to use for his ability

i had a similar idea except with a firespray, a saber, and ion cannons

From what I've seen, Fleet Officer is less useful on Chiraneau than it would be on other ships. His ability already turns one eyeball into a crit and he only rarely gets to use it on defense, so you're really paying three points to do the equivelent of a Squad Leader to Brath and to maybe convert a second eyeball when it comes up.

There's also very little in this build to discourage enemies from shooting anyone but the Decimator. No Engine Upgrade to avoid firing arcs, no Rebel Captive to deal stress, no Ysana to at least give you an evade token later, and the Vader/Gunner combo will burn through his HPs even faster. If Chiraneau manages to survive three rounds of combat, it will be a minor miracle.

I believe is the time for this two to shine so I've run it to a store tourney. my take play different that yours but it works well
