<p style="text-align: center;">The Omega heavy destroyer became the premier warship of EarthForce after the lessons learned during the Earth-Minbari War. The conflict that nearly annihilated humanity as a whole brought home the need for an advanced warship capable of standing against what the varied galactic races could throw against the Earth Alliance, and while the Omega is by no means yet the equal of the Minbari Sharlin, it remains one of the most capable vessels in space today.<br /><br /> The Omega was designed along very similar lines as the well respected Nova, but with higher technology in mind rather than sheer firepower. A much larger ship than the Hyperion, the Omega uses a heavier weapons load and a rotating command section that generates artificial gravity for the crewed areas of the vessel. Though still cramped on board, it has a sizable bridge and crews much prefer to serve on this class than a Hyperion, as its artificial gravity makes long-ranged missions far more tolerable. Squadrons of Omegas will often form impenetrable battle lines that can mass incredible firepower, though in smaller conflicts, these ships are perfectly capable of operating as mobile command centers.<br /><br /> It was this usefulness and versatility that earned the Omega a number of revisions and new technologies. While many were minor and swallowed by the overall abundance of the standard variety, there have been a few that stand out as spectacular. Arming an Omega with powerful pulse cannon instead of the sustained lasers can create a very satisfying field of fire to give the ship’s numerous fighters a chance to advance on the enemy. Using the Omega’s artificial gravity and spacious bridge, entire fleet command assets can be supplanted on the vessels, making them truly mobile command leaders that entire campaigns could be organized from.<br /><br /> The most infamous and secret Omega project, the Omega-X project of President Clark’s reign, was the combining of deadly Shadow technology and the powerful Omega hull – the combination of which was nearly too much for a great portion of the Whitestar fleet in 2261, a battle that almost killed Commander Susan Ivanova.<br /><br /> [[Earth Alliance Omega Heavy Destroyer|Omega Heavy Destroyer]]<br /> [[Earth Alliance Omega Command Destroyer|Omega Command Destroyer]]<br /> [[Earth Alliance Omega Pulse Cruiser Destroyer|Omega Pulse Cruiser Destroyer]]<br /> [[Earth Alliance Omega-X ‘Shadow Omega’ Advanced Destroyer|Omega-X ‘Shadow Omega’ Advanced Destroyer]]<br /><br /> '''Source''':<br /> [http://babylon5.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_class_destroyer The Babylon 5 Project: Omega class destroyer]<br /> [http://babylon5.wikia.com/wiki/Advanced_Omega_class_destroyer The Babylon 5 Project: Advanced Omega class destroyer]<br /> Babylon 5: Ships of the Galaxy (pages 16-19)<br /> thedemonapostle </p>
