Fictional chemical substance

It is highly magical with a melting point above the range of metal forges. The gates of [[Unseen University]] are made out of it. A needle made of octiron will always point to the Hub, the centre of the Discworld's magical field; it will also darn its owner's socks by itself.

|[[Omega]]
|''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''
|Most powerful and dangerous element known in the Federation. Omega can consist of one molecule, or as a cluster of many. The more there are, the more danger it represents. An Omega molecule was created by scientists on a base in the Lantaru Sector. Omega destabilized and exploded, destroying the base and subspace in the whole sector. Information about Omega is limited to Starfleet Captains and Flag Officers. If Omega is detected, the Omega Directive is implemented and Starfleet is contacted to dispatch a force to deal with the molecule/s. Omega can be synthesized from Boronite Ore.
