Alpha Red

Alpha Red was a clandestine experimental research group within the New Republic Intelligence Service. A task force within Alpha Blue, Alpha Red reported directly to Admiral Dif Scaur, the Director of New Republic Intelligence, and was tasked with researching the extragalactic biology of the Yuuzhan Vong, determining weaknesses in their systems and developing methods to exploit those weaknesses. The team was led by Alpha Blue scientist Joi Eicroth and its staff included a group of Chiss biotechnicians that worked alongside Intelligence scientists.

The crowning achievement of Alpha Red's research was a biological weapon codenamed "Alpha Red". The airborne pathogen proved in their laboratory tests to target local a unique genetic strand amongst all Vong-related creatures, and destroy it. Alpha Red was also tested on sedated Yuuzhan Vong warriors; the tests were successful in killing the warriors.

Research was then moved out of the Chiss research facility and into a converted hosptial EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate located in orbit of Mon Calamari in order to produce tons of Alpha Red to distribute and unleash upon Yuuzhan Vong held worlds.

Upon hearing of the existence of the deadly Alpha Red pathogen by eavesdropping on a conversation between Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, Vergere infiltrated the facility and sabotaged the project.

After the use of the pathogen was restricted to a last resort option and Vergere's sabotage, Alpha Red was presumably shutdown.
