History
The first Clan Blood Spirit Galaxy created.
Burrock Absorption
Attacked Albion during the Burrock Absorption, facing the Star Adder's own Alpha Galaxy and the Burrocks' Kappa Galaxy.[1]
Initially met with success, but were eventually forced off-world.
Has since rebuilt and expanded by taking in the remnants of other Blood Spirit units, including from the destroyed Beta and Kappa Galaxies.[1]
3067 Update
Alpha Galaxy remained on the defensive on York, counter attacking where possible, at the cost of a Cluster.[2]
The Galaxy was involved in near constant fighting on York but by 3070 had reduced the [Clan Star Adder|Adder]] holdings to a single enclave. [3]
Officers
As of 3067 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Jon Church, who had been in command since at least 3059.[1]
In 3084 the commanding officer was Khan Bryce Schmitt.[4]
Tactics
Use hit and fade attacks initially, until the enemy force expects it, then launch full frontal assault.[1]
Paint Scheme
Alpha Galaxy employs a utilitarian scheme of desert tans with blood red highlights.[citation needed]
