Summary
Alpha is the skilled space pirate protagonist of UFO 50's Velgress and Overbold. Throughout them, she gets her revenge on the demon Charkas for trapping her in the deadly pit known as Velgress, and after escaping makes her way to the planet of Phogon to risk her life for a quick buck in gladiatorial combat, rapidly making enough profit to purchase a spaceship to replace the one destroyed by Charkas and venture off into space once again.
