Alphabet Squadron Reading Guide

Book by Alexander Freed

Guide by Shaun Wars

Alphabet Squad is the first book in the Alphabet Squad trilogy. The second book, Alphabet Squad: Shadow Fall comes out in June of this year. The official Star Wars YouTube Channel is doing a book club for this book Starting May 1, 2020. This guide is spoiler free, but does assume that you have seen all of the theatrical releases. I read this book a year ago and forgot so much of what happens! It is fun to read through a second time to get myself prepared for the second book coming out this year.

I hope you find this guide useful and interesting. If you notice any errors, have any feedback (positive or negative), or just want to say hello there please reach out to me via email or twitter, see contact page for links.

If you read, the Force is with you!!

Part 1: Elements of Killing Machine

Chapter 1

Nacronis- A planet, location not known. Primary terrain was a marsh/swamp. There were often storms that caused geysers of mud to be blown in the air. Humans inhabited the planet and lived in citadels.

Yrica Quell- Is a former member of Shadow Wing. We will let her story be told be told throughout this book.

Port-side- The left side of ship when looking forward. Although this isn’t specific to Star Wars as someone who struggles with ship/military terminology they will be included in the guide to help get a better understanding of battles.

Repulsors- Short for Repulsorlift. This piece of technology creates a force capable of levitating the object its attached to. Not the same as engines that propel ships forward.

Ion Engines- These are the typical engines that most starships use for sublight flight (slower than lightspeed). Ion engine do exist in our planet and were used on a satellite launched by NASA in 2007. They are emerging technology, but are cool because they use very little fuel.

Tonas- Male human who was a member of Shadow Wing.

Barath- Human member of Shadow Wing.

TIE- TIE fighters are the main starfighter used by the Empire. They come in a wide variety of specialities. Notable attributes are their lack of shields and hyperdrive. The most basic TIE is the TIE/LN (pictured).

Soran Keize- Major 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. We will let his story be told on these pages.

Shana- Human member of Shadow Wing.

Tong- Human member of Shadow Wing.

Particle blasts- Particle blasts are from particle weapons. It is not always clear what type of energy weapons use. Plasma and other energies were often used. Generally, it doesn't matter what type of weapon is firing at you, its best to get out of the way.

204th Imperial Fighter Wing- Often referred to as Shadow Wing. They were a deadly division of the Imperial Navy. We will use this story to learn more about Shadow Wing.

Empire- In reference to the First Galactic Empire which rose out of the ashes of the Republic at the end of the Clone Wars. Ruled by Emperor Palpatine. The Empire was known for genocide, enslavement, and taking away rights of the people. In the Empire humans were regarded above other species. The Empire, and those apart of it, are often referred to as Galactic Empire, Empire, New Order, Imperials, Imps, etc.

Endor- Referring the Battle of Endor.

Imperial Torture Droid- IT-O is a droid created by the Imperial Security Bureau, the spy/law enforcement agency of the Empire. First seen in A New Hope when Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader wanted to know the location of the rebel base and interrogated Princess Leia.

Traitor’s Remorse- A temporary town outside of a rebel case where recent defectors from the Empire were housed.

Duracrete- Concrete in a galaxy far, far away (AGFFA).

New Republic- The newly formed republic after the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor. At this time New Republic has defeated the Emperor, but there are still plenty of Star Destroyers and imperial ruled worlds in the galaxy. At the moment, Mon Mothma was appointed the first chancellor. The New Repbulic was often called NR, Republic, and rebels (since the New Republic rose from the Rebel Alliance).

Star Destroyers- The capital ships of the Empire. They housed TIE squadrons and deadly turbolasers. Star Destroyers were previously apart of the Repbulic’s navy, but were of a different class. The Empire had over 25,000 Star Destroyers in its prime.

Bacta- Bacta is a bacteria that promotes regeneration and rapid recovery from injuries. First seen in The Empire Strikes Back when Luke returns to Echo Base after surviving the wampa attack.

GR-75- This is the typical Rebel Alliance transport; sometimes called the Gallofree transport. Also first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back.

Death Troopers- Death Troopers were an elite group of stormtroopers who wore all black. These highly trained soldiers fell under Imperial Intelligence (this was a military intelligence group, not the same as Imperial Security Bureau which was a law enforcement agency). Their helmets had voice scramblers and they were very good at leaving no trace of their operations.

Chass- Chass na Chadic is a Theelin female. Her story will be told here.

Hound Squadron- A squadron of B-wings.

RZ-1 interceptor- The A-wing is an incredibly fast starfighter used by the Rebel Alliance. Its speed made it a challenge to pilot successfully. It was a pretty small ship to keep it fast and thus had no room for an astromech droid.

Fusion reactor- Power source to starships. Can also be found in generators.

Shield- Most starships were equipped with shield generators that projected an energy based shield that would protect it from lasers, bombs, and missiles. There were many different ways to create a deflector shield.

Turbolasers- Powerful laser cannons.

B-wing S-Foils in attack position.

B-wing S-foils in cruising position.

B-wings- Formally called the A/S-01 starfighter, the B-wing is mostly used to destroy larger targets. Their weapons were much heavier than those found on most starfighters. Due to weight of weaponry the B-wing lacked agility and speed which made them easier targets for TIEs. When S-foils were open the ship looked like a cross; when not s-foils not engaged they ship was linear in shape. If needed, the pilot's pod could detach from the rest of the body.

Eyeballs- A fun nickname for TIE fighters.

Bombers- In reference to TIE bombers. A specialized TIE that could deal heavy damage.

Inertial compensators- Device used in ships to protect pilots from the stress of g-forces. More common in starfighters and more maneuverable ships. Also called inertial damper and driven compensator.

Navicomputer- Computer that calculated hyperlane routes. Fun fact- Harrison Ford colorfully told George Lucas that he created words that impossible to say.

Hyperdrive- The drive of a ship that was needed to get a ship to travel past he speed of light.

Hyperspace- Hyperspace can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I prefer the simple answers. If you wish there are plenty of scientific explanations about hyperspace. Don't go down that path if you don't want to overwhelm you brain.

Above: U-wing S-foils in attack position.

Below: U-wing S-foils in cruising position.

UT-60D- More simply known as the U-wing. First seen in Rogue One, this was a utilitarian ship that could hold its own in a dogfight, but was also used for troop transport. Like most Rebel ships it has two positions with S-foils for attack mode and a more compact mode that made for quicker travel.

Star Destroyer Pursuer- Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. Home to Shadow Wing.

Manipulators- Limbs that allow a droid to grab things in their environment.

Alderaan- Homeworld to princess Leia. Destroyed by the Death Star.

Loyalty officers- Loyalty officers were agents of the Imperial Security Bureau. A sort of internal affairs of the Empire. Their primary objective was to ensure one hundred percent loyalty to the Empire. My favorite loyalty officer, well former loyalty officer, is Sinjir Rath Velus in the Aftermath trilogy by Chuck Wendig.

Devaronians- A sentient humanoid species with two horns (males only) and skin that was either red, purple, or brown. They are native to Devaron, a planet in the Colonies.

Credits- The currency of AGFFA. There are many types of credits. Most are issued from the ruling body of the times, but some planets have their own currencies. It was probably a weird time deciding what currency to use since the Imperial credits most likely lost value due to their recent defeat and the New Republic would not have had time to mint and distribute new credits.

Pyke Syndicate- A cartel that mostly dealt spice around the galaxy. They were headquartered in Oba Diah. Its members were of the Pyke species native to Oba Diah.

Crimson Dawn- A crime syndicate that was known for its lack of forgiveness and driving a hard bargain, even to other gangs. Maul was its leader for a time being.

Astromech droids- Sometimes called astro droid or mech their primary purpose was repairing starfighters or starships. Many were used to help pilots to make calculations and improve flight. Droids are often modified by their owners to meet specific needs. There are many types of astromech droids ranging from 3 wheeled R-series and the newer BB-series.

Fadime- Female Nikto Pilot in Hound Squadron.

Skitcher- Male pilot in Riot Squadron.

Captain Kreskian- A male Chadra-Fan who was captian of the Hellion's Dare.

Hyperspace probes- Unclear from current databases what model these are exactly, but we can assume they are probes that travel through hyperspace to find their quarry.

Rising Prayer- Unsure what culture/religion this prayer comes from.

Nikto- Humanoid sentient species from the planet Kintan. There are three different subspecies of Nitkto that were more acclimated to different climates. Some subspecies had horns while others had facial fins instead. Niktos could be green, red, or grey. My favorite Nikto is Neeku Vozo from Resistance.

Ishi Tib- Sentient humanoid beings native to the Mid Rim world of Tibrin. They were green skinned amphibians with a beak, large open nostrils, and their two eyes were on on top of their heads attached via an eye stalk.

Repulsor tugs- Floating carts that carried equipment or pulled ships ships around an hangar.

The Republic employed an army of cloned soldiers led by the Jedi Knights while the Separatist used a droid army comprised of multiple different droids. The war ravaged much of the galaxy and in the fallout Palpatine was able to claim himself the Emperor through lies and manipulation over the population of the galaxy.

Major Rassus- Male who served the Empire aboard the Pursuer.

Fusillade- Military term for firing multiple weapons at the same time or in quick succession.

TIE bomber- TIE Surface Assault Bomber, TIE/sa, was a TIE model designed to take out turbolasers and other stationary anti-ship weapons deployed by the enemy. Recognizable due to their angled wings and two central pods, one for the pilot and other for payload. Equipped with two laser cannons they were also capable to have a payload of proton bombs, concussion missiles, or thermal detonators.

Deadwood- Not special to AGFFA. Literally means wood that is dead. Another word I didn't recognize and it seemed like it would be something else, but its not.

Running the gauntlet- Adding a history lesson here! Running the gauntlet is ancient punishment where one is forced to run between two rows of soldiers who attack the person running through. I imagine that is close to what it would feel like flying a small craft between two starships firing upon each other.

Ion cannons- Ion cannons shot ionized particles that would disrupt electronic systems. Ion cannons could shut down entire star ships if they were big enough. Ion cannons were first introduced to Star Wars in ESB when the Rebels use ion cannons blasts as cover to escape Hoth.

For a good example of the destruction an ion cannon can cause check out the Malevolence arc in season 1 of The Clone Wars.

Proton torpedoes- Proton torpedoes were highly explosive torpedoes that released an energy burst of high velocity proton energy. A note on missiles vs torpedoes: missiles typically have some sort of guidance system to track targets whereas torpedoes are unguided, or have minimal capacity to track moving targets.

Laser-guided bombs- Probably exactly what it says- a laser guided bomb. Compared to missiles and torpedoes, bombs do not have a propulsion system.

Interceptors- Referring to the A-wings.
