Alpha Squadron is a Special Operations squadron assigned to Wing I on the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Hammer. Alpha was commissioned in NL1 when Grand Admiral (then General) Ronin took command as one of the first six squadrons created to house pilots in the Emperor's Hammer.

In April 2014, Alpha Squadron transferred to the newly-commissioned ISD-II Warrior to become Sigma Squadron. Alpha was reactivated aboard the Hammer in May 2014.

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.

At some point, Alpha Squadron met Pengauani mercenaires and inspired by them, acquired the nickname of penguins.

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.
