History:
A group combining diverse rebel forces from the twenty-two worlds of the Vegan star-system, the Omega Men are Vega's finest warriors, dedicated to ending tyranny and oppression and promoting freedom and peace.

Conceived by Primus during his schooling by the Warlords of Okaara, Primus's dream of a force for good was encouraged by his wife-to-be Kalista, princess of Euphorix, later counted as a leader of the Omega Men in her own right. Gathering recruits from schoolmates on Okaara, Primus carried word of his new army to many Vegan worlds, often clashing with the evil Citadel. At length captured and imprisoned, Primus and Kalista escaped from the Citadel's prison planet with more new recruits. The core group of rebels then consisted of feline shape-shifter Tigorr, rock-solid Broot, wind-swift Harpis and her crafty sister Demonia, death-spirit Nimbus, and godlike Auron.

After fleeing for a time to Earth, the Omegans launched a new attack on the Citadel, freeing and recruiting Doc, Shlagen, and Felicity. Their plans undermined by the spying treachery of Demonia, the group seemed cursed by internal doubt, until Demonia's shocking death delivered new conviction to the rebel force. A daring raid on Citadel Homeworld led by Tigorr brought uneasy peace for a time, until a new threat invaded the Vegan systeme – the Spider Guild. New members gathered to meet these unknown enemies included enigmatic Elu, former Green Lantern the Green Man, and Tamaran's Prince Ryand'r, as well as the artificial intelligence Artin, minstrel Oho-Bash, Kalista's cousin Ynda, the Okaaran Rynoc, his companion Zirral of Tamaran, and the Gordanian Uhlan.

Many of the Omega Men have relocated outside the Vegan star-system on the planet Kuraq, though a formidable number remain to battle Vega's oppressors.
