Military Alphabet in Star Wars

In the US Armed Forces, there's an "alphabet" to prevent confusion, and it goes Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot...Xray, Yankee, Zulu. In EL, the overrider code contains "naboo" and "ithor," and if Terra's armed forces need one, I bet GFFA's do too. Is the complete military alphabet for SW enumerated out there? In a sourcebook maybe?

 

There's a few different military alphabets out there, like naming companies able, baker, charlie, dog, easy, etc.

There were a few missions in TIE Fighter where enemy fighters took group names as such.

 

In X-wing and TIE Fighter there was quite a lot of using the Greek alphabet for naming various groups of fighters, freighters, cargo containers, transports, and such.

 

Quite a while since I last played any of the TIE/X-W series, so please correct me if I'm in error, but didn't the Imps tend to use Greek letters exclusively? Could have some implications for Imp formations. However, since there is no Greek equivalent for our letter C, but the Aurabesh (which doesn't conform to on-film SW usage anyway) contains a letter parallel to C. For those with some Greek who may be tempted to deny my assertion I append the following.

Greek has kappa, sigma and chi which represent different ways we use "c". Kappa is "K" but is often transliterated as "c", e.g. Thoukudides = Thucydides. Sigma is "s". Chi is "ch", not as in chew, but as in the Scotch Loch Lomond or German erwachen. So there's no direct correlation between the two languages. There are other gaps, for example j, which is just a recent (linguistically speaking) perversion of the letter "i".

 

Though the third letter of the greek alphabet is "Gamma", which was a commonly used TIE suqadron designation. TIE squadrons tended to be alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc. while assault gunboats were mu, nu, rho, and tau. In other words, the Rebels seemed to favor using colors or adjectives for their fighter squadrons, the Empire preferred greek letters.

 

There are Beta-class Telgorn transports.
Gamma-class assault gunboats.
Theta-class AT-AT barges. Or something to that effect from NEGVV. Mostly likely there's an Alpha-class something as well.

Incidentally, the Black Fleet Trilogy used Hebrew lettering instead of standard greek alphanumerics. Once per book, when A'baht was issuing attack orders.

At last, some creativity, and not the ubiquitous italian/greek lettering/numerals every book you see.

 

They also tend to assign various names for things, like eyeballs, dupes, crates, clutches, etc.

 

Mostly likely there's an Alpha-class something as well.

The Alpha-class XG-1 Starwing Assault Gunboat, if I've remembered the designation correctly.

 

You have remembered correctly but with some mistakes. The G in XG-1 should be lowercase (Xg-1) and Starwing is not one word (Star Wing). And I'm sitting here looking at both the tech info in the X-wing Strategy Guide ande the tech info in the Stele Chronicles.
