- "All right, men, load your weapons."
- ―Mod Terrik to Zeta Squadron
Zeta Squadron was one of three stormtrooper squadrons that made up Desert Sands.
History[]

Members of Zeta Squadron search the desert for R2-D2 and C-3PO.
In search of the Death Star plans, they were sent to locate the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO on Tatooine. Davin Felth was a member of the squadron under the command of Captain Mod Terrik.
Zeta Squadron destroyed the Jawa sandcrawler that collected the two droids and razed the Lars homestead. The Squadron later failed to stop the Millennium Falcon from escaping Docking Bay 94. During that firefight, Terrik was shot from behind by Felth.
