Omega Squad

"You do okay for a mongrel squad"

- Sev, commenting on Omega Squad's skill

Omega Squad was an elite clone commando unit, and was part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The members of this unit were brought together after each of their respective squads were killed during action at Geonosis. Unlike most other commando squads, the Omegas wore specialised matte black Katarn armor.

Mission to Qiilura
Omega Squad's first mission together was on the planet Qiilura. Jedi Master Kast Fulier and his apprentice Etain were on the planet, gathering information, but Master Fulier was captured, and Etain hid. Omega Squad was sent to Qiilura to sabotage research on a clone-killing nano-virus. Ghez Hokan later personally killed Master Fulier with his own lightsaber, which he also used to kill Cailshh and Guta-Nay.

During planet-fall, Darman was separated from the rest of the squad, and met up with Etain. The rest of Omega Squad had to evade natives, and soon enough met up with the shape-shifting alien Jinart. Jinart proved to be a huge help with the mission, by gathering information and acting as a go-between for Darman and the rest of Omega Squad. Later, so all of Omega Squad could talk via comlink, Niner took out the planet's communications facility in Teklet, preparing the squad for their final assault. When the squad finally assaulted the research facility, and captured the nano-virus along with Dr. Uthan. Unfortunatley, Niner and Fi had trouble with the former Mandalorian protecting Uthan, Ghez Hokan. In a bold move, Niner lay on the ground, screaming for his training sergeant, Kal Skirata. Hokan attempted to kill the seemingly maimed commando, but Etain arrived just in time to decapitate Hokan with her lightsaber. Fi kept Hokan's Mandalorian helmet.

Hostage situation on Coruscant
A month after the Qiilura operation, Omega Squad were stationed at Arca company barracks on Coruscant, where they were called upon to defuse a terrorist seige at a local spaceport. With help from Kal Skirata and the Null ARC trooper Captain Ordo, they were able to end the situation.

Mission to Fest
Ten months into the war, the Omegas were dispatched to Fest, to destroy a Separatist research center that was researching phrik alloy.

TIOPS
Shortly after the Fest operation, Omega Squad were involved in traffic interdiction operations off the Corellian-Perlemian hyperspace intersection. Although they were successful in capturing several suspected Separatist terrorists, they became stranded aboard a damaged vessel and had to be rescued by Delta Squad. They were then picked up by the assault ship Fearless, and met up with Etain again.

Investigation on Coruscant
Following the events of TIOPS, a terrorist attack on a freighter brought the attention of the Coruscant Security Force, as well as Kal Skirata to the situation. While revisiting the incident on a holo-recorder, Captain Ordo, speculates that the terrorists hold operatives within Coruscant. Not wanting the risk the lives of thousands of civilians, Kal requests that Delta and Omega Squads return to Arca company barracks for leave to secretly investigate the recent terrorist act. Jedi Master Arligan Zey turns a blind eye to Skirata and grants his request, knowing he's asking for trouble.

With the aid of Captain Ordo, Jedi Knights Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan, and a former clone instructor Walon Vau, Kal, along with Delta and Omega, begin uncovering what's believed to be a Seperatist plot. They begin by paying a visit to Qibbu, Coruscant's resident Hutt to cash in on a favor owe to Skirata. Kal persuades Qibbu to lend his quarters to serve as a base of operations for the mission at hand, in order to remain inconspciuous. Ordo in turn is sent out to grab a large amount of military grade explosives to attract Seperatist attention. Sure enough, a very "interested customer" by the name of Perrive contacts Skirata to discuss further business involving the explosives.

Before Kal and his new-found associates meet to discuss terms with one another, Omega and Delta squads along with the two accompanying Jedi, position themselves along the agreed location and stakeout the transaction. Fi, Etain, and Scorch mark Perrive and his six consorts with microscopic transmitters designed to look like common dust, courtesy of Jusik. When the suspects disperse from the scene, the team attempts to track their movements and common locations.

Inbetween time during the mission, Darman and Etain Tur-Mukan's relationship blossoms into something deeper, which makes Etain question her path to follow the Jedi Order, or to abandon it all together and live a normal life with Darman nearby. Within her reasoning, she attempts to give Darman something no other clone in the Grand Army of the Republic would have: A future.

During reconaissance, Fi and Sev come across Vinna Jiss, a GAR logistics employee, and send her to Walon Vau for interrogation. After squeezing information out of Jiss, Vau hurls her off a balcony to her death in the sublevels of Coruscant below. Ordo, armed with new information about "Dead-Letter" drops, heads to GAR headquarters disguised as the receptionist clone trooper Corr. Monitoring each movement, Ordo begins to suspect Besany Wennen, an attractive female employee with an alluring smile. Much to his surprise, however, Wennen is met with Vinna Jiss, whom Ordo had presumed dead.

In an attempt to uncover the truth, Ordo returns to GAR HQ in the evening with Etain, to find Vinna Jiss, with Wennen falling behind her. Ordo and Etain trail and subdue them both, only to later find out that Wennen is an agent of the Republic Treasury Audit Division, and the spectre of Vinna Jiss is actually Jinart.

With the investigation unfolding and more pieces are added to the puzzle, Kal and his boys begin setting up a sting operation, with unexpected help from another Null ARC, Mereel. The explosives are traded off to the suspects for a sum of four-million credits, and the criminals in question are then neutralized in a blazing firefight of spectacular display. The Hunt has begun.
