Sector Ω (Omega) is one of four nebulae that inhabit the Lylat system, appearing only in "Star Fox Zero". This is the only sector in "Zero" to have a capital Greek letter as the symbol; the other three sectors use lower case letters.
Overview[]
The Sector Ω nebula is a large purplish-blue nebula that is shape like an 'Ω', a letter in the Grecian alphabet. In its centre is a black swirling vortex. Though it has this on the world map, it does not appear to have the vortex in the level until the Attack Carrier battle starts. In terms of astrological positioning, Sector Ω is located between Fortuna, Fichina, and Venom.
Five years prior to Andross's invasion of the Lylat System, James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar were on-route to Venom near the nebula to investigate strange activities. Before they could go any further, Pigma betrayed the team, having been working for Andross the whole time. The two Cornerian loyal pilots were lured into a trap by the devious traitor Pigma, but thanks to a noble sacrifice by James, Peppy was barely able to escape with his life. James never returned.
In the game[]
Sector Ω hosts the game's antepenultimate stage, "Blasting Through." Its level is the seventh stage if Wolf O'Donnell did not manage to knock down Peppy in Sector β (in which case it is visited after completing Fortuna's Dangerous Skies level), but if he did, its level becomes the ninth stage (with the sector being accessed from Fortuna's Frostbitten Fray level). Regardless, completing Sector Ω's level leads to the unlocking of Corneria's second level, Hidden Plans.
Five years later, James's son Fox McCloud and his new Star Fox team arrived at Sector Ω, traveling at maximum speed in order to reach Venom. They blazed through and around the debris, enemies, and asteroids they came across, all of them risky to dodge.
Just when they thought they made it to Venom, the planet suddenly disappeared. Soon afterwards, the Attack Carrier appeared, challenging them to a fight. Star Fox was able to defeat the enemy, but they still had one problem on their hands: how to get to Venom. They contacted General Pepper, who came up with an idea on how to get to the planet and he ordered Star Fox to return to Corneria at once.
Comparable[]
- Sector Ω bears a resemblance to Area 6 from Star Fox 64, as it leads (or, at least, should lead) to Venom. The area is described as a "Space Graveyard", a nickname previously owned by Sector Z in "Star Fox 64". In the game plot of "Zero", Sector Ω is also the location or vicinity where James disappeared, making it parallel to the Black Hole in the 1993 game, which its central vortex greatly resembles and was also where Fox's father had been reported lost.
Trivia[]
- Sector Omega's mission is the only stage that doesn't have any post-mission dialogue in Star Fox Zero.
