GENERAL INFORMATION
Unit Name: Strike Team Alpha.
Affiliation: Alexia Zarides, Archangel Research and Design, Typhos Clone Family, Enyo.
Classification: Black Ops.
Description: Strike Team Alpha is the personal squad of Alexia Zarides, one of Enyo Typhos' clone siblings. Like Amara Zarides, Alexia is a clone of Kaelin Isandros, a sadistic Sith Assassin. Her template was killed by Siobhan Kerrigan after the Sith made the mistake of torturing the latter's wife. Alexia and Amara have both rejected the example of their template, but drawn the opposite conclusions. Whereas Amara now acts like the dark side is going to automatically give her red eyes, nasty skin and turn her into a card-carrying psychopath, Alexia believes that focused and controlled use will give her much more power. Alexia is the member of the clone posse most like Enyo. She is a dedicated infiltrator, spy and assassin, skilled with poisons, blade and long range weapons. However, she may have been seduced by the allure of violence and crime.
Her lesson was that Kaelin wasted her time with sexual deviancy and torture, but that she had the right idea: You are either strong or weak, freedom is not possible without power. You must be strong, cunning and ruthless to ensure your freedom. Morality is a chain holding you back. Care for no one but yourself and your family. Of all the members of the clone squad, Alexia is the most involved in Enyo's shady business. The young clone is extremely ambitious and considers herself the natural choice as Enyo's second. Having proved herself on several missions, she has been able to persuade Enyo to give her a personal hit squad.
This is Strike Team Alpha. Of course, ultimately they still answer to Enyo. The Cyborg trusts her siblings more than anyone else...but still makes sure that she is the one in charge. Thus Enyo an override any order Alexia gives. She would not do this on a whim, but she is still the one pulling the puppet strings. Alexia is well aware that being put in charge of the kill team is also a test for her. She aims to prove to the 'brood mother' of the clone family that she is worthy of being her second and thus being granted even more authority.
The Alpha Team is composed of twelve Reaper Class Assassin Droids. This model of droid was built by Archangel following Enyo's takeover and is thus a new model. The Reapers are highly sophisticated killing machines. They are intelligent, lethal, devious, strong and precise. Moreover, they have a body made of Laminanium. Combined with other features and gadgets, such as a state-of-the-art energy shield, this makes them extremely durable in combat. They excel at assassination, sabotage, sniping and direct combat. Being elite assassin droids, they are able to operate independently, display initiative and utter ruthlessness. Droids do not feel fear, tire or suddenly get second thoughts about morally dubious assignments. This makes them the perfect minions for Alexia and, by extension, Enyo. Alexia would have liked to have the more advanced Neutraliser Class Assassin Droids. These are a more exclusive variant of the Reaper, but Enyo is not willing to give her access to such powerful toys. The Terminatrix trusts her siblings more than anyone else in the Galaxy, but she is still the one in charge.
The Reapers lack the organic covering of HRDs and thus cannot pass as organics, but as a tradeoff they are more resilient. Although Enyo is rich, she spends very little on herself because she has a Spartan life style. Moreover, many of her employees are droids, who obviously do not need to be paid. She invests most of her income back into her enterprises. This helps equip her troops well and so the team has access to very sophisticated weapons and gadgets. Alexia regards the team as a personal power base of sorts. She is eager to prove herself and leave her mark in Enyo's enterprises. The members of the team can also provide advice on tactical matters.

Above all, they provide Alexia with some muscle. The young Force clone is a capable spy and assassin. She prefers to use guile, speed and deception rather than brute force. Striking from the shadows, she seeks to eliminate her enemies quickly before vanishing. Head-on combat is not her thing. She is very good at concealment, disguises, adept in the use of sniper rifles and poisons. Close in she uses her lightsabre to deflect attacks and strike in a swift, surgical manner. The strike team complements her skills beautifully. Brute strength and incredible resilience makes them extremely dangerous in close combat. They are also trained in sniping, demolitions and intelligence gathering.
Being assassin droids, deception and surgical acts of violence come natural to them. Moreover, they possess an incredible strength and durability, which Alexia lacks. They lack the Force, but have received extensive training in anti-Force-User tactics. This training has been added to their databanks. This makes them a good fit for the Force clone. They are programmed to obey her orders and protect her life at all costs. Being just a single team, the unit is extremely small and thus can be overwhelmed by force of numbers. Moreover, they only have limited access to heavy weapons, especially anti-tank weapons.
Strengths:
- Highly skilled assassin droids. Able to operate independently as well in a team, they are a lethal unit. They posses exceptional strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence. The Reapers are devastating in combat and skilled infiltrators.
- Self-repair abilities make them particularly dangerous in combat. The Reaper has self-healing qualities due to a Laminanium body and gadgets. The Laminanium is good at regenerating from blaster and slugthrower weapons within minutes. More extreme damage takes less than a day.
- It is a very small unit. The team is meant for special operations, not full-scale battles. Throwing them against a trench, entrenched fortification or tank battalion is not an effective use of their skills and will probably end with the team being overwhelmed. They lack heavy support forces and only have limited access to heavy weapons. This is not the type of unit to single-handedly storm the trenches or go up against tank formations.
- The Laminanium is of limited help against massive amounts of damage. It is better at repairing small penetrations or cuts, but less effective against severe blows, explosions and heavy weapons. Even with its gadgets, the Reaper is not invulnerable.
Kaelin Isandros was once a powerful and cruel Sith Assassin trained by Darth Shadow to become an instrument of fear, pain and misery wherever she went. Once she was a sweet, kind girl, but abuse and the corruption of the Dark Side turned her into a woman of malevolence and hatred. Eventually though she chose the wrong target and was slain by Siobhan Kerrigan after pushing her too far by torturing her wife. Fast forward many years and Archangel sought new materiels to make Force clones.
Having acquired Kaelin's DNA from Darth Shadow before his apparent demise at the hand of Siobhan Kerrigan, they decided to clone her...ironically to complement their Siobhan clone, Enyo Typhos. Kaelin's first clone was called amara Zarides. Then both clones went rogue and dedicated themselves to destroying their makers. By then Archangel was already growing the next batch of clones. One of them was the second clone of Kaelin Isandros. The clone squad was liberated by the sisters when they stormed Archangel's secret base after making an alliance with the Contingency.
And so Alexia Zarides was spared from a life of servitude to her mechanical creators. The clone had been given the best conditioning and flash training that Archangel could provide. Thus she awoke with all the knowledge she needed to know. She also knew of the fate of her template, though the details had been edited somewhat. Having learned that Archangel intended her to be their slave-soldier,Alexia vowed to herself that she would never let anyone control her like that. At the same time, she concluded that Kaelin had been right in principle, but failed to live up to her potential by succumbung to depravity. She would walk a different path, and take command of her destiny.
Her dedication and serious attitude caught the eye of Enyo, after the cyborg returned from the strange Incursion in the Tartarus System, where she'd betrayed her Contingency allies after concluding that they were insane. So she began to train Alexia, teaching her the ways of the Force, stealth and combat. Alexia proved herself on many assignments. She fought in gang wars alongside Enyo, helped her win the allegiance of a Kraal Clan and fought in the final battle with Archangel. The fighting was fierce, but in the end the rebels prevailed.
Moira Skaldi was destroyed during the fighting and Enyo confronted her mirror, the second clone of Siobhan Kerrigan. In the aftermath of the fighting, Enyo and Amara parted ways. Enyo assumed control of Archangel and Alexia stood at her side. Now that the threat of Archangel had been removed from her life, Alexia sought to spread her wings and acquire a position of influence in Enyo's criminal consortium.
Now the clone family faced two challenges: rebuilding Archangel's forces and infrastructure and putting their syndicate in order. Enyo carried out a purge to remove undesirable elements from the Iron Fist Consortium. In many ways New Archangel was similar to old Archangel, for the new boss did not care about organic morality. However, she also had no desire to pursue her creators' genocidal schemes. Instead Archangel would profit from the petty conflicts across the Galaxy, while building its own machine civilisation on remote worlds inhospitable to organics but rich in resources.
While Enyo was busy shifting the focus of her corporation, Alexia sought to make her mark. She was heavily involved in the purge as well as in folding Enyo's criminal enterprises into Archangel. The prospect of power made her ambitious. Having recognised her talents, Enyo decided to give her a personal unit. One of the new designs that left the assembly line was the Reaper Class Assassin Droid, a formidable killing machine. It had been designed by Enyo with the help of Thuella, a clone of Tempest and the scholar of the family, and Zakarias Vont, the Consortium's pet mad scientist.
The Reaper was designed to be capable of operating independently or as part of a team. It could process data at a rapid rate and react accordingly, becoming more dangerous with every fight. Sophisticated anti-malware protocols and anti-slicing countermeasures made it very difficult to tamper with the units' programming, overwrite their core functions or otherwise turn them against their controllers. Fast, strong and intelligent, they were lethal killing units.
The assassin droids were programmed to be very skilled in the use of a variety of melee and ranged weapons. They also received extensive tactical programming. This made them very capable combatants and allowed them to assume leadership roles in droid forces. Archangel preferred to utilise HRDs to coordinate large scale military operations, but the Reaper was well-suited for battlefield command or leadership of small teams. It was an assassin and battle droid of a highly advanced level. Twelve of the Reapers were selected for Strike Team Alpha.
Their first mission was the elimination of a Dark Jedi by the name of Yerevan. This was another case of Enyo cleaning house. Alexei Yerevan had survived Republics, Sith and Alliances by being the ultimate pragmatic businessman. He ran SYI Industries, a company that exclusive starships to rich clients. He was also a bit of a mafia boss. Back in the day he had made a deal with Enyo and Amara, who had broken into his compound after being hired for espionage work. Instead, with money and one of his new ships he co-opted them to fight a new shared enemy; Archangel. Unfortunately for him, they were too successful. He had unleashed the sealed train and now it came back to him. To his credit, Yerevan had realised this and taken steps to undermine his duplicitous ally. Alexia and Strike Team Alpha spearheaded a mission to remove him and acquire his assets by installing an HRD replacement. The company was later formally absorbed into Archangel.
They also dealt with Archangel cells that continued to fight. While Moira had had a pretty good control over them, some Archangel cells operated in deep cover and thus were autonomous enough to not have received the signal that placed them under Enyo's direct control. As a result, they continued to oppose her. Alexia's team took out a powerful embedded HRD concealed in a Reki syndicate on Atrisia. When Enyo learned of a secret Archangel base that continued to defy her, the team accompanied her. Little did Enyo know that the base was a cloning facility where Archangel created Klaxxi.
Upon landing, Enyo met stiff resistance. A fierce battle ensued. During the fighting, the test subjects were able to escape from captivity, leading to a threeway fight. Enyo's troops sustained severe losses, so she pulled back her troops to let her enemies fight it out and bombed the base. Many of the Klaxxi were killed during the bombardment, but some survived. A couple were subdued. Though vicious, the Klaxxi were not mindless beasts. They were also very far away from home. Perhaps it helped that Enyo was not responsible for their captivity. Having no Queen, grudgingly a small number of Klaxxi agreed to serve her. Enyo dubbed the new unit Team Aranae.
