Camp Alpha was one of five refugee camps established within the Quarantine Zone on Dathomir following an outbreak of the Blackwing virus during the Galactic Civil War.
==History==
In 2006, an accident happened in an Imperial Research and Prison Facility on the planet Dathomir where the Galactic Empire was secretly conducting dangerous scientific research to engineer the dreadful Blackwing virus into a bioweapon. The virus escaped containment and turned most of the people ins the area flesh-craving undead creatures. The Empire promptly established a Quarantine Zone to contain the infection. The few people who survived the virus outbreak, mostly Imperial staff and prisoners, were trapped in the Quarantine Zone. They established five camps inside the area, Camp Alpha, Camp Beta, Camp Gamma, Camp Delta and Camp Epsilon, in order to try to live in safety while waiting for an evacuation, albeit all rescue teams were attacked upon landing in the area and their members were killed before they could find the survivors. The camps were named by the Imperial Starfighter Pilot Jeb Maris who had managed to deliver radios from Camp Alpha to the other camp and had established communication between them.
Camp Alpha was made of a few tents surrounded by a protective wall consisting of concrete slabs, large disabled devices and other waste materials. It was defended by a ragtag group of survivors made of Imperial troopers, ex-prisoners and soldiers of the Rebel Alliance, and led by Sergeant Mika Horn. Indeed, the camp came under regular attack from the zombies and the refugees had to struggle for their survival. Other survivors included the Jeb Maris and the Bothan Oona Wran.
Soon after the outbreak, Doctor Zahara Cody and Trig Longo, two survivors of the previous Blackwing epidemic in the Star Destroyer Vector, were dropped in Camp Alpha from the Millennium Falcon by Donald Duck and Goofy. Cody and Longo proposed to distribute to all the survivors of the Quarantine Zone an anti-virus developed by Dr. Cody from her own immunity during the Vector incident. Several spacers later visited Camp Alpha during their journey in the Quarantine Zone.
