Omega Guard

"You won't lay a finger on me."

- Cylla Narami

The Omega Guard were Cylla Narami's elite personal bodyguards. No one knows exactly how many existed, although Cylla was usually accompanied by two of them.

History
As Cylla Narami gained power within her faction of the Empire, she began surrounding herself with bodyguards for personal protection. These soldiers initially took the form of regular Stormtroopers, but she later began recruiting and outfitting more elite troops. After a time, as her resources grew, these warriors were taken from the ranks of Stormtropers who had been selected as candidates for Palpatine's Royal Guard prior to his death.

Traits
Hand picked by Narami, the Omega Guard were the pinnacle of Imperial soldiers. Their identities were hidden behind their matching armor and thus were known only to the Umbaran commander herself. They were Human, although their mysterious presence often caused speculation to the contrary. While their exact number was unknown, two of the guards accompanied her at all times following their first appearance.

Inspired by the Emperor's Royal Guard, the Omega Guard were distinguishable from their predocessors by three important traits. First, their armor and cloaks were a deep black rather than crimson red. Second, their visors had been outfitted with special darkvision lenses enabling them to see in complete darkness. Finally, rather than the ceremonial force pikes carried by the Royal Guard, the Omega Guard each kept a T-21 light repeating blaster held at the ready at all times.

The Omega Guard were completely and totally loyal to Narami beyond any question. They obeyed her every word and were ready and willing to lay down their lives for her if necessary. They almost never spoke, although they were capable of speech. They were also trained to speak the Umbarana language so that Cylla could communicate secretly with them even in public.

Behind the Scenes
The Omega Guard are visually indistinguishable from the Emperor's Shadow Guard, although they were not inspired by them.
