Alpha Leader

"Alpha Leader, you are now in charge of the control room. Wait with the co-pilot until me and Brent return. You may not know it, but I am second in command."

- Ben Yoakido to Alpha Leader

Alpha Leader was the name given to a Male Corellian who was the main officer to General Yoakido. He served every battle with the general until his death in 33 BBY in which he was also killed.

Attack on The Finest Hour
In 33 BBY, General Yoakido's ship, The Finest Hour, came under attack by two assassins. After hearing a threatning transmission in Huttese, the ship had been ordered to change courses and head for Nar Shaddaa. After hearing the death of "Alpha One" at the hands of the assassins, General Yoakido went to defend his last two members of Alpha Squadron. He put Alpha Leader in charge of the control room and told him and the co-pilot to keep his son Ben Yoakido and Ben's friend Brent Rhea with them in the control room. Ben freaked out and decided to take action. He realized that he was second in command if anything were to happen to his father. Ben and Brent went to try and save the general, leaving Alpha Leader in charge of the control room with the co-pilot. However, after the two left, one of the assassins named IG-86 disguised his voice to sound like the now-dead general. Alpha Leader foolishly opened the door only to find an imposter of General Yoakido. IG-86 shot Alpha Leader square in the chest, then shot the co-pilot through the head. IG-86's master Skelldon J. Bones arrived after killing General Yoakido, Sarah Alpha Two, and Alpha Three. He learned that both Ben and Brent escaped and tracked them down to Nar Shaddaa.
