Omni 02

Omni 02 is a parallel universe to that of Omni 01. The point of divergence was during the time of the Empire of Arckas where they were destroyed in the Multiversal War at the hands of servants of the Basilisk known as the Harbingers. Though the Harbingers were eventually driven back, the destruction of the Empire of Arckas changed the course of evolution in many species resulting in some having radically different cultures and even entirely different appearances.

Omni 02 was visited by the Anarsaur Empire via interuniversal wormhole in an attempt to control the spread of the Basilisk. Upon contact with this universe's version of the Galactic Senate, they presented themselves as the Great Horned Dragon Empire. Interuniversal travel had been hypothesized for a long time in the form of the IUD Drive. The Great Horned Dragons' visit to Omni 02 confirmed the viability of the technology.

There is another additional known point of divergence where Etah Owar is faced with the choice of either killing or sparing INFRA known as Omni 02A and Omni 02B. Killing INFRA resulted in the return of the Basilisk and the complete annihilation of the universe. In the timeline where Etah Owar spares INFRA, the Harbingers indoctrinate the Dhragolon species, designating them the new Harbingers. This resulted in a conflict known as the Third Galactic War. While this universe survived, galactic society collapsed.

Known differences

  • The Buyuk Empire were instead a species called the Harbingers, who were not only responsible for wiping out the Omni Empire, but also the Empire of Arckas. It is speculated that the Harbingers were direct servants of the Basilisk which in this universe, they called Vernietigen.
  • Technology in general compared to direct Omni 01 counterparts was more advanced. The Galactic Senate was far more widespread with star systems in the thousands rather than the dozens.
  • The Vaikan were instead a species known as the Dhragolon, who were tall reptilian bipeds with wings.
  • The sterility plague never occurred in this universe.
  • The Eteno species had a completely different culture. Their society was more capitalistically oriented.
  • The Tarorans were called the Karnasaurs.
  • While the planet Zema existed as a documented star system, the Drussiray species did not.
  • God machines were called Titans by those who studied them.
  • INFRA took the form of the ancient Vaikan dictator Altus Banya and called himself Altus Infra.
  • The Omni species has a slightly different physical appearance.
  • The members of the Sinister Hegemony, while sharing the same names, had different physiologies as their homeworlds' climates were drastically different. For example, the Avarith were instead a crystalline silicon-based species.
