As per the [[TCCOM:TIE_Corps_Pilot_Manual#Squadron_Objectives|TIE Corps Pilot Manual]] we are trained to deal with extreme combat situations in space, in the air, and on the ground, Special Forces units are often called upon to carry out missions involving multiple theaters. Just as deadly with a blaster as they are at the controls of a starfighter, these are the commandos the Emperor’s Hammer relies on when a particular objective is imperative to the success of a larger operation.

We use the classic flight sims while maintaining certain tactical flexibility with more modern titles like Star Wars: Squadrons. In practice, we focus on XvT/BoP and TFTC (X-Wing Alliance Upgrade's submod:  TIE Fighter Total Conversion) for Single Player (SP) , Role Play (RP) and Multiplayer (MP). We are veterans from past inter-clan competitions who found a home in EH, seasoned EHers with a deep knowledge of the compendium and expert MP pilots mingled with promising enthusiast prospects.<br>

To be part of Alpha Squadron your ping must be over 9000 ms and you must drop all of your internet packets.

Given their pilots operational profiles, they often informally dealt with assignments acting as both infantry and pilots and were later given the designation of special forces to formally suit their operational profile. Additionally, unproven and under-trained outfits are thrown together along with seasoned veterans and elite yet undisciplined wildcards who nevertheless have served with distinction. Alpha operatives are provided of their own unique armor set, which differs greatly from the standard issued kit of the rank-and-file and are sent on challenging assignments, less suitable for standard pilots. Each one of the members acquired certain abilities unique to the team and their unorthodox yet often successful tactical approaches to problematic missions other squadrons would refuse to perform if they were given a choice, earned them quite a mixed reputation of exhibiting a concerning level of disobedience, disregard for orders and general dislike of command, especially in the eyes of those officers who preferred a traditional bureaucratic path but on the other hand, it rarely hindered the completion of their missions with nearly one hundred percent success rate. Nevertheless, Alpha Squadron was considered a last resource until the arrival of Commodore Phoenix Berkana who involved the unit in more regular assignments.

Some of the force-sensitive members of the squadron developed a rare skill of creating time displacement around them (often without control) and worshipped this “lag” as the ultimate truth in the universe.

Alpha Squadron is a fighter squadron commissioned in the TIE Corps within the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. It has the distinction of being one of the first six squadrons within the Emperor's Hammer, originally formed as a part of the then-Emperor's Hammer Strike Wing.

Description[edit]

Alpha Squadron is one of the original TIE Corps squadrons currently stationed onboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Hammer, flagship of Battlegroup I.

We operate a mixed fleet of Spectre Advanced Missile Boat and TIE Defenders to undertake our mission as a Special Forces Squadron.

As per the TIE Corps Pilot Manual we are trained to deal with extreme combat situations in space, in the air, and on the ground, Special Forces units are often called upon to carry out missions involving multiple theaters. Just as deadly with a blaster as they are at the controls of a starfighter, these are the commandos the Emperor’s Hammer relies on when a particular objective is imperative to the success of a larger operation.

History[edit]

Alpha was first activated in 4 ABY (1995) and originally led by then General Ronin as part of the fighter complement on the PLT: NL-1, along with the other five squadrons that were part of the Emperor's Hammer

In 23 ABY (April 2014), the squadron was assigned to the newly-commissioned ISD-II Warrior, reconstituted as Sigma Squadron.

The 7th Squadron was reactivated aboard the Hammer later on same year (in May 2014).

On 2020, then LC Alejandro Araujo after managing to have the 7th Heavy Assault (HA) Squadron reach Squadron ReMob's goals, considering the squadron's personnel traits and abilities, had proposed TCCS a draft for the unit's mission profile redesignation and after approval, it was formally established as Special Operations Squadron.

Lineage[edit]

Alpha Squadron as one of the original six squadrons that comprised the Emperor's Hammer, has a long history dating back from 4 ABY (1995).
