<label>Coordinates</label> <group> <label>Point of Interest</label> </group> <label>Music</label> </infobox> Outpost Omega is an Alterra Corporation base located in the Lilypad Islands at a depth of 200m.

Appearance

Outpost Omega is composed of two Multipurpose Rooms and a Large Room, all connected by an X Compartment with a Hatch to allow entry. In front of the base is a Foundation that currently serves no purpose.

Appearing relatively intact from the outside, holes in the Large Room suggest that the interior has been damaged. While both Multipurpose Rooms are untouched, the Large Room shows signs of a massive fire taking place, resulting in the base's Nuclear Reactor becoming unstable and causing a small explosion.

Interior

Outpost Omega is divided into three main sections; the greenhouse, the quarters, and the laboratory. Unlike most other Alterra bases, the interior of Outpost Omega is completely submerged.

The Greenhouse

To the right of the entrance hatch is the Greenhouse. This room features a Glass Dome roof, and many Wall Planters along the inside. Various plant pots and research equipment can be found here, as well as a Data Box containing the Control Room blueprint. Against the back wall is a Water Filtration Machine.

The Quarters

To the left of the entrance hatch are the Quarters. This Multipurpose Room is divided into three, with two bedrooms on either side of a small sitting room with a Coffee Vending Machine, Trash Can, and Vending Machine. The bedroom to the left belongs to Danielle Valenti, while the bedroom to the right belongs to Vinh Pham. Vinh's bedroom contains a PDA, the Jukebox Disk for "Die Peacefully" by First Sun, and a postcard from Vinh's girlfriend. Danielle's bedroom contains a PDA, a framed photo of her and Samantha Ayou, and an Aromatherapy Lamp.

The Laboratory

Directly in front of the entryway is the Laboratory. The player can enter the room through a bulkhead that has been blown off its hinges. While other rooms in Outpost Zero are unscathed, the Laboratory has been scorched, leaving everything in the room charred and blackened with ash. Batteries, research equipment, papers, and even a Nuclear Waste Disposal can be found floating around the room. A Power Cell Charger can be found on the left side of the wall. In the center of the Laboratory are the remnants of the Nuclear Reactor, having blown up due to the fire, causing severe damage to where it once stood. A single PDA belonging to Danielle can be found here.

Story

Prior to Robin Ayou's arrival on 4546B, Outpost Omega was a biology lab where Danielle and Vinh were studying and mutating samples of the Kharaa Bacterium harvested from the Frozen Leviathan. At an unknown point in time, the base was sabotaged and set aflame by Marguerit Maida, likely acting on the behalf of Samantha Ayou. The accident would later be investigated by Alexis Riedell.

Trivia

• Outpost Omega was previously named Research Base Omega and Research Base Cappa. The Cappa incarnation had a somewhat different structure including a Scanner Room, two Observatories and a Moonpool, and had a completely flooded interior. Nothing within it could be scanned.
  • During earlier builds of Below Zero there was a base in the Thermal Spires called Research Base Omega which was cut for unknown reasons.
  • Before the Methane Ice Caves biome was cut from the game, a second copy of Research Base Cappa could be found there as the first iteration of Marguerit Maida's Base.
• Outpost Omega contains a Centrifuge, which is cut content from Subnautica.
