Using a cure for the plague developed by Mordin, Shepard stops the outbreak and foils the vorcha scheme.Д®lsewhere, Archangel is a vigilante who has been cornered at his base by Omega's three dominant mercenary factions: the Blue Suns, Eclipse, and Blood Pack. The plague is revealed to have been caused by the vorcha, who aligned with the Collectors in order to take over the station. Mordin Solus, a salarian scientist and former STG operative, runs a clinic in one of Omega's slums. In 2185, Commander Shepard travels to Omega to recruit Mordin Solus, ' Archangel', and (optionally) Zaeed Massani.ДЄt the time, a plague is ravaging Omega's populace, killing dozens of people from various races but mysteriously sparing humans. The 'land of opportunity', clearly reflecting their cultural attitudes towards the society within Omega. While humans refer to it as Omega, the asari name for it translates as 'the heart of evil', the salarian name as 'the place of secrets', the turian name as 'the world without law', and the krogan name it as

The station is home to dozens of species, including batarians, vorcha, and Lystheni salarians, as well as many other species not welcome in Citadel space. Over the years, these have been expanded until they completely cover every exposed inch of its surface, making Omega a bizarre mishmash of architecture and technology. The heavy-metal-rich core of the original asteroid was mined until the asteroid was almost completely hollow, providing the initial resources used to construct Omega's buildings and facilities.

The krogan reigned over Omega undisputed for a time until around the 1980s CE, when Aria T'Loak, once one of his most trusted lieutenants, defeated him in single combat and usurped him. The earliest known ruler of Omega was a turian he controlled the station until he was killed by a krogan crimelord who ate his heart and wore his skull on his armor. The station's major export is element zero. As of 2185, Omega has a population of 7.8 million people, composed of various different species. The station's current 'de facto' ruler is Aria T'Loak. Territory is controlled by the strongest faction in that area and frequently changes hands, often after brutal violence. Omega is described as 'the Terminus Systems' dark, twisted counterpart to the Citadel.' It is a huge mining station built from the remains of a massive, irregularly shaped asteroid with twisting streets populated with homes, shops and warehouses. Only mercenary groups have been able to instill a limited order the most ruthless is an asari syndicate run by the notorious Aria T'Loak. Today, Omega is a major hub of narcotics, weapons, and eezo trafficking without even a pretense of civilian government or military control. To prevent future collisions, the station is ringed with enormous mass-effect field generators that redirect incoming debris.

As space became tight, construction of processing facilities extended vertically from the asteroid, creating Omega's jellyfish-like silhouette. Thousands of years later, nature did what even the Protheans could not: a collision with another asteroid broke Omega in half, exposing its trove of element zero for easy mining.ДЄ rush ensued as corporations and private individuals tried to strike it rich on Omega, and thieves and outlaws followed in their wake.

Originally an asteroid rich in element zero, Omega was briefly mined by the Protheans, who eventually abandoned it due to its thick, impenetrable crust.
