History
The Alpha was a DropShip of unspecified type, in service to Duke Hassid Ricol. In 3028 had been carried to Helm with Ricol's JumpShip Huntress as part of a group of six vessels posing as merchanters.[1] It carried a lance of Galleon tanks and an infantry company numbering ninety men.[2]
The Alpha later took off from Helmdown spaceport, joined Ricol's other five approaching vessels and set down in the Vermillion Plains where the Gray Death Legion was in the process of uncovering and defending the Helm Memory Core. This suggests the ships including the Alpha were of spheroid design and could land and take off vertically.
