Omega Group

""KGB-Spetsnaz Omega Group seeks to harness the energies and resources of the Dark Aether to give the USSR a strategic advantage over their Cold War foes - the Americans and NATO.""

- Official description of the Omega Group from the Intel tab. The Omega Group is a mysterious, Soviet-led organization hell-bent on researching (and possibly exploiting) the unexplainable anomalies manifesting around the world.

Formation of the Omega Group
The Omega Group was formed on August 30, 1975 when KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov with the intent of identifying, studying and weaponizing the power of the Dark Aether in order to give the Soviet Union a leg up over the United States in the Cold War. The group had members handpicked by Spetsgruppa Alpha, Spetsgruppa Vymbel and Spetsgruppa Smerch with tactical support provided by the First Chief Directorate. Omega was able to receive funding from the KGB Discretionary Budget.

Discovering Projekt Endstation
The Colonel ordered the Omega Group's Research and Development team to scour KGB archives on March 26, 1983.

Months later, on July 15, Doctor Aleksandra Valentina discovers two reels involving Projekt Endstation, a long abandoned Nazi facility in Morasko, Poland, in an intelligence vault sealed since 1945.

A month later, KGB Chairman Viktor Chebrikov meets with KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov and top members of Politburo to watch the reels that Valentina had found and proposed the idea of weaponizing the phenomena recorded at the Endstation. A few days later, Operation Undertaker is given formal approval to be carried about by the Omega Group.

Operation Undertaker
On August 28, 1983, the Omega Group was able to successfully secure the Endstation facility. Omega then assigned Doctor Valentina and Doctor William Peck to begin examination of the facility.

After over a month of examination of testing, Operation Undertaker was successfully completed, opening gateways to the Dark Aether all around the world.

Phase Two
On November 3, 1983, Omega moved on to Phase Two of their plan, which likely involved the construction of many other facilities in the world. Five days later, Omega was able to get formal approval to construct Outpost 25 in Vietnam after a meeting with Chairman Phạm Văn Đồng.

A few days after the agreement, Omega successfully secured the site near the Khe Sanh and began construction the same day.

Destruction of the Endstation
Requiem was sent to the Endstation in Poland to investigate the anomalies that had popped up there. Unfortunately for Requiem, Omega had already long left the facility for more endeavors. The Endstation was then destroyed by Requiem with the help of a former member of the Omega Group known as Orlov.

Outpost 25
At some point, construction was complete for Outpost 25 and William Peck got to work. He began to experiment on many individuals in order to further understand the capabilities of the Dark Aether.

Peck then realized that there was a potential mole in his group leaking information to Requiem and further suspected that this informant was working with ex-BND agent Samantha Maxis. It was not long after that Peck was able to successfully capture Samantha Maxis and trap her in the Dark Aether.

A month later, Requiem was able to successfully infiltrate Outpost 25 and free Samantha Maxis, much to the displeasure of Colonel Lev Kravchenko. Upon hearing about Peck's failures, Kravchenko travelled to Outpost 25 and tortured Peck as a consequence for his failure.
