Alpha Company is a armored company belonging to Shadow Ops, 128th Armor Battalion and was attached to Task Force King.

History
Alpha Company was one of many Shadow Ops armored units attached to a Shadow Ops Armor Battalion. These units were to provide armored support for Shadow Ops forces and its operations. These units, despite being armored units, were technically special forces units and thus were well equipped and trained compared to standard UEF armored units. They were also to provide support for standard UEF forces if needed.

The company, being part of the 128th Shadow Ops Armor Battalion, was at some point attached to a special task force comprised of only special forces units, primarily Shadow Ops units and saw heavy action during the 1st Interstellar War and Sentinel Wars.

Battle of Planet Hoxial
The unit, being attached to Task Force King, was eventually deployed to Planet Hoxial to defend the numerous Shadow Ops facilities there when it was attacked by Imperial Icarusian forces. However as the surface battle raged and intensified, the task force's objectives gradually changed to an all out defense of the planet and support of Federation forces.
