Alpha Company

Alpha Company was a specialized division of elite clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic, (including ARC troopers and BARC troopers). Their company color was gray. They were part of the 52nd Star Corps and was led by Commander CC-2009.

Battle of Geonosis
In 22 BBY, when the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems broke out on the Outer Rim planet Geonosis, Alpha Company served in the ensuing battle. During the fight, Typhuss and the 52nd Star Corps and Alpha Company were ordered to march directly into the withering fire of Separatist spider droids. The battalion was almost completely wiped out, and Typhuss risked his life to stay behind in a shallow bomb crater, tending to two critically injured soldiers. He defended their position as spider droids passed overhead and, after three hours, a rescue casevac team arrived. After his men were rescued, Typhuss received a medal and a new mission.

Second Battle of Geonosis
The 52nd Star Corps and Alpha Company served in the Second Battle of Geonosis, attacking a Geonosian droid foundry under the direction of Ki-Adi Mundi and Luminara Unduli. Typhuss attended the mission briefing between the Jedi Generals and the clone commanders before the battle. As Commander Typhuss's and General Mundi's Low Altitude Assault Transport entered the atmosphere of Geonosis, it encountered heavy Geonosian fire. Typhuss contacted CC-2224 nicknamed Cody, asking him to get the AT-TE walkers on the ground, but after Cody landed, he lost contact with Typhuss, as Mundi's gunship was shot down, slamming into the ground hard. Typhuss escaped the wrecked gunship and helped Ki-Adi out. They then marched overland to the Republic landing zone and entered a cave filled with Geonosian drones. Mundi and Typhuss fought their way through the cave calling in Flamethrower wielding Clone Troopers to finish the Geonosian soldiers. When Anakin Skywalker and his troops disabled the droid foundry's deflector shield, Alpha Company helped round up the enemy resistance.

Order 66
"For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic, before the dark times...before the Empire."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

As the 52nd Star Corps, 42nd Assault Squad, Alpha Company and the 327th Star Corps pushed through the planet's southern hemisphere, Bly received a transmission from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, ordering him to execute Order 66. Order 66 branded Aayla Secura and the rest of the Jedi in command of the corps as enemies of the Republic. When Aayla was distracted by a low-flying bird, Typhuss and his troops and Bly and his troops poured blaster fire into Jedi General Aayla Secura, continuing to fire on Secura even after her body had hit the ground. When the clone troopers of the 52nd and 327th fired they made sure the death was quick and painless.

Armor
They maintained a large armory with gray-marked Phase II armor that looked like the armor of the 41st Elite Corps under Commander Gree.

Vehicles
Alpha Company was known to utilize AT-RT walkers, BARC speeders, and Infantry Support Platforms for anti-infantry and recon purposes, as well as AT-APs for artillery support, and A6 Juggernauts as heavy missile platforms/troop transports.
