In the years between [[3079]] and [[3085]] Omega Galaxy underwent further rebuilding efforts, with mixed results. Whereas Omega had been regarded with suspicion by the rest of the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']] after it had originally been formed — despite having been formed from the best warriors available — the bulk of the replacement personnel assigned to Omega as it rebuilt were Rasalhagian recruits who lacked a firm grounding in the Way of Clans. Where Omega had always walked a tightrope in the past between the ways of honor and the dishonorable excesses of the Inner Sphere, the balance was considered to have firmly shifted towards the latter, with many Ghost Bears coming to shun Omega for what was considered to be a descent into ''[[dezgra]]''.<ref name="FM:3085p120">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 120, "Omega Galaxy"</ref>

The Dominion attempted to check this downward slide; after the Jihad the Dominion disbanded three Galaxies — [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omicron]], Pi and [[Sigma Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sigma Galaxies]], and the surviving personnel from one of the Clusters within Pi Galaxy, the [[23rd Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twenty-third Provisional Garrison Cluster]], were assigned to units across Omega, while the [[3rd Bear Regulars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Bear Regulars]] were transferred in as a discrete unit from [[Theta Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Theta Galaxy]]. It was hoped that the combination of these [[Clan]] warriors plus those originally assigned to Omega Galaxy would provide a good example for the Galaxy. Unfortunately, both the Third and Twenty-third had been primarily defensive Clusters, and the transition into a front-line formation was difficult for them; as a result, Omega was moved to locations where the nearest significant enemy force was unlikely to launch an attack — the nearest enemy force being [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Kappa Galaxy]] of [[Clan Wolf]] — while also placing Omega under the watchful eye of the Dominion's [[Tau Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Tau Galaxy]].<ref name="FM:3085p120"/>

In the fighting on Vega, Omega Galaxy is not subject to Clan honor rules when facing an Inner Sphere opponent. Inner Sphere forces may never Force the Initiative against Omega. Any bonuses an Inner Sphere unit gains by fighting a Clan foe are canceled. However the members of Omega Galaxy are seen as tainted by other Clan forces, so any Clan force that includes Omega receives a -2 penalty to initiative rolls.<ref>''Dark Age Turning Points: Vega'', p. 9</ref>
