A reckoning has come to Axum. But who will be reaped? And what will be sown?


Tropes in this episode include:

  • Alliterative Title: The episode's title is "Operation Omega".
  • Continuity Nod: Kuat of Kuat is shown to keep a pill case containing various medications for toxins and plagues inside his pocket at all times. Included in the pill case is an antidote vial for the Blue Shadow Virus.
  • The Ghost: Wilhuff Tarkin doesn't appear but gets mentioned during Nala Se's POV segment at the start of the episode where it's revealed that he is Nala Se and Lama Su's superior and threatened to inflict a You Have Failed Me on the duo offscreen if they failed to deliver on Operation Axum-Omega. This threat is what drives Nala Se to deceive Omega into thinking the battle she was commanding was just a simulation.
  • Intro-Only Point of View: Nala Se serves as a POV character for the first and only time in this episode during the opening segment.
  • Operation: [Blank]: The title of this episode is "Operation Omega". The actual military operation featured in the episode itself is called Operation Axum-Omega.
  • Spoiler Cover: The episode's cover thumbnail features artwork of Omega, spoiling the fact that she's going to appear and play a prominent role in this episode.
  • Spoiler Title: The episode's title spoils the fact that Omega is going to make her debut in this episode.
  • Sword Plant: Rollah Sendurran takes up this pose using her sheathed sabre on the bridge of her battleship while giving a Rousing Speech to her bridge crew during this episode's Space Battle between Battlefleet Xek-Tek and the Republic Navy.
  • Tuck and Cover: One of the guards on the bridge of the Pride of the Core leaps onto Kuat of Kuat and shields his body from a grenade blast caused by a bridge technician being mind-controlled by Imperial Astropaths.
  • You Have Failed Me: Discussed by Nala Se and Lama Su, who mention how they won't survive whatever punishment Palpatine and Tarkin have in store for them if the Oracle Team fails to defeat the Imperial Navy at the Battle of Axum.
