'''Skimmer Alpha''' was the designation for a certain member of the [[Gasgira]] species serving alongside the [[Banished]] during the [[Installation 07]] [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]]. Both Skimmer Alpha and the other Skimmers in its contingent were more lethally outfitted than usual.{{Ref/Reuse|Target13}} During the conflict, both Skimmer Alpha and its patrol were killed by [[John-117]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Biography==
===Banished alliance===
Skimmer Alpha and its contingent served under The [[Harbinger]] and thus also entered an alliance with [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] and the [[Banished]] after the Harbinger was released from her [[cylix]] during the mercenary organization's [[Battle for Zeta Halo|occupation]] of [[Installation 07]]. At some point during the conflict, [[Spartan-IV]] [[Hudson Griffin]] encountered Skimmer Alpha's patrol and recorded a target dossier for them. He believed that eliminating the patrol and gathering any intel on the creatures—whether biological samples or simply strategic information—would be helpful in prolonging the [[UNSC]]'s continued existence on the ring, should the opportunity present itself.{{Ref/Reuse|Target13}} Separate [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] assessment of Skimmer Alpha and its contingent designated the targets as CODE RED and advised that the threat be eliminated on sight.{{Ref/Game|Id=TACMAP|HINF|[[TACMAP]] description, Skimmer Alpha}}

During the Installation 07 conflict in [[2560]], the location of Skimmer Alpha was discovered by [[the Weapon]]. She passed on this information to [[Spartan-II]] [[John-117]], who tracked down and killed both Skimmer Alpha and its patrol.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Equipment==
Skimmer Alpha resembles regular Skimmers, albeit with a darker shade of red armor. After entering an alliance with the Banished, Skimmer Alpha was outfitted with a modified [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle]] called the [[Purging Shock Rifle]], while the rest of its patrol was outfitted with normal shock rifles and captured [[VK78 Commando]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}{{Ref/Reuse|Target13}}
