	Alpha 1 is nearly always the player's character. Alpha through Kappa (with the notable exception of Eta, which rarely appears) are used regularly for fighter ~~wings.

In FS1 missions with allied Terrans and Vasudans, Terran wings are usually from the first half of the alphabet while Vasudan wings are usually from the second half of the alphabet. The only FreeSpace 1 missions that violate this "rule" are [[The Great Hunt]] and [[Good Luck]] (with Epsilon wing of Thoths).
