Omega (Final Fantasy XIV)

The Omega is an ancient superweapon from Final Fantasy XIV. It was buried in the Carteneau Flats. Though mentioned since Patch 2.3 and largely unseen, it is set to have a larger role in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood.

Story
Omega was one of many anti-primal weapons created by the Allagan Empire, like the Utima Weapon and Proto-Ultima. It was instrumental in capturing the Dreadwyrm Bahamut, and could autonomously engage its quarry once activated. Its control panel was located beaneath the Heliodrome at the Carteneau Flats.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
Omega is first mentioned in the events of Patch 2.3 Defenders of Eorzea by Flame General Raubahn Aldynn and Nanamo Ul Namo, who confide to both the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud Leveilleur of its existence. The damage from the Calamity had unearthed many Allagan ruins at the Carteneau Flats. Data obtained from Allagan tomestones and other inscriptions imply it had a role in subduing Bahamut in order to seal him inside Dalamud. Raubahn even speculates the reason Nael van Darnus set Dalamud on its ultimate trajectory was to destroy the weapon on impact.

Its existence was initially doubted by leaders of the Eorzean Alliance, thinking a translation error. Only once Gaius van Baelsar revealed the Ultima Weapon did they serious consider its existence. Though the weapon was still in a dormant state, other factions were already seeking its potential. The Ul'dahn magnate Teledji Adeledji schemed to get his hands on the ancient superweapon, even going so far as instigating a riot among refugees to try to get the Carteneau Reclamation Bill passed. These schemes soon culminated with the fateful banquet celebrating the Defense of Ishgard. The events that transpired resulted in the death of Teledji Adeledji, but would also scatter the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, with the Warrior of Light fleeing to Ishgard.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward
In the stinger of Patch 3.4 Soul Surrender, Nero tol Scaeva is seen approaching a console in the Carteneau Flats, apparently intent on awakening Omega.

In the events of The Far Edge of Fate, Nero approaches the Eorzean Alliance meeting discussing the primal sealed above Baelsar's Wall. He suggests using Omega to deal with the dangerous primal before it breaks free. Nero and Cid Garlond successfully restore the control panel, which Yda presses to activate the machine. Having quickly identified the sealed primal, the autonomous warmachine proceeded to its target at the wall. The primal revealed itself to be Shinryu, which emerged from the cocoon of light. as Omega arrived. A titanic clash ensued between the two, with Omega shrugging off a tidal wave unleashed by the primal as they engaged in a powerful beam struggle. The battle ended with a immense explosion of light, with both primal and superweapon seen falling to the ground.
