Squad April was a Promethean Blitz Corps combat unit attached to the 5th Blitz-Commando Company commanded by Katha Stieron. Trained at Athena Station along with the rest of the 5th Blitz-Commando Company, Squad April was later assigned to the AVATAR facility with the rest of its company, placed under the jurisdiction of Sector Nine's Operations division with the duties of providing security for the AVATAR facility and its numerous subjects and prisoners, with Squad April in particular chosen to guard Interrogation Subject 001. When 001 was transferred to the Shepard Residence in late 2252 CE upon request by Tali'Shepard, with Squad April, along with the rest of its company, providing security over the duration of the interrogation at the house. Squad April was rotating security at the front of the property on 30 December when a firefight broke out in the house, Tali springing her plan to help Shepard escape. Squad April was caught in the open by Moses almost immediately, losing half of its strength before the squad was able to return fire. Squad April attempted a fighting withdrawal while awaiting reinforcements, taking further casualties before the nearby 12th Blitz-Commando Company arrived to reinforce, with squads Semper and Mjolnir arriving and attempting to push into the house. What remained of Squad April was wiped out during this push when Tali detonated explosives inside the house, causing a massive explosion that killed everything inside and within the vicinity of the blast.
