Alpha Squadron, or Alpha Squad, was an Imperial TIE/LN starfighter unit that was employed in various duties and battles throughout the Galactic Civil War.
History[]
During the construction of the first Death Star, Alpha Squadron was assigned to the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Steel Talon at Despayre. The squadron was later transferred to the Death Star as it progressively became operational. When Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya requested provisions of the Imperial stewardess Ysanne Isard in the wake of the Nagai–Tof War, Alpha Squadron was transferred to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Revenant within her fleet, and participated in an assault on the Communications Research space station Epsilon Nine.
