Earth Alliance Omega Class Variants ## ## Omega Class Variants ## Omega Missile Destroyer (rare) The Omega Missile Destroyer was built to test the feasibility of deploying the Warlock Class's new LH-Racks on other vessels in the fleet. The Omega Theta model mounted two of the monstrous racks forward the rotating section, with standard, class-L racks aft the section and on the bow. Anti-fighter defenses were reduced to four SPB's, and one squadron of fighters. Pulse Cannons on the bow and stern of the ship provided the captains with some level of security if enemy ships managed to get too close to the ship. This was deemed an inappropriate use for the Omega class and only a few examples were completed. Omega Missile Destroyer (Theta Model) SCS Omega Multi-Purpose Destroyer (rare) The Eta model Omega was developed as an off-shoot of the Omega Command Destroyer (Gamma Model). The HLPA's of the gamma model were replaced with standard LPA's. Two additional aft firing LPA's were added, as well as four more SPB emplacements. This type was never as popular as the more numerous and powerful Alpha and Beta models. Omega Multi-Purpose Destroyer (Eta Model) SCS Omega Advanced Capability Destroyer (rare) The AdCap Destroyer (Lambda Model) was an attempt to incorporate newer technologies into the Omega class. This model was fitted with the Standard Alpha model weaponry, minus half the SPBs, which were replaced with LPC's. The sensors were also improved. Two aft firing HPC's were also added. Omega Advanced Capabilty Destroyer (Lambda Model) SCS Omega Destroyer Dreadnought (Unique) In an early attempt to field a replacement for the aging Nova Class, the EA tested various designs. Among these were the Pulsar Dreadnought, which initially started out as a destroyer design during the war, this model of the Omega, and a project that eventually produced the Warlock Class. This ship failed to measure up due to the interference of the Rotating section during firing of the LPA's positioned directly aft of it. Only one ship of the Zeta Model was completed, the EAS Pax Magellanic, which was later refit to Gamma model specifications. Omega Destroyer Dreadnought (Zeta Model) SCS Omega Command Scout Destroyer (Rare) In an attempt to build a combat capable heavy scout, and as an interim design between the phasing out of the Oracles and the introduction of the Delphi class, EarthForce decided to try something with an Omega. The Command Omega was chosen as the basis for the design as it had most of the C&C capabilities needed. It was a simple matter to mount the extra sensor arrays in the forward weapons mounts. Though somewhat successful, it was never fiscally reasonable to build this design in great numbers.
