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.
We acknowledge the lag as an element that permeates every part of the internet and the universe, the Force included.
To be part of Alpha Squadron your ping must be over 9000 ms and you must drop all of your internet packets. You won't need them eitherway. You must accept the inevitable: that lag will be with you always, for we are penguins from the endless cold deserts of frozen connections known as Lagtartida. Only Alpha penguins can navigate the dangerous hazards and tap the mysterious effects of the lag always in the Empire's service...
History
Alpha was first activated in 3 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 22ABY (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 in May 2014.
On 2020, the unit's mission profile was formally established as Special Operations.
Lineage
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.
