The Omelos was the original Dilgar cruiser. While the vessel was capable of great speeds, its relatively light armament ran counter to Dilgar methodology of the time and its speed was normally restricted to that of the slower assault ships which it commonly accompanied. Lacking a specialised role was seen by some as making the Omelos redundant. Others countered with the suggestion that the Dilgar’s original enemies may in fact have been small, isolated worlds, whose native races possessed only limited space travel capabilities (these races presumably being now extinct, victims of the Dilgar’s relentless xenocide). Such a suggestion would make sense and if indeed this was the Omelos’ original role it would explain the class’s renewed usefulness during the Dilgar War.
