When word of Oma Kurita's fate became known in [[2377]], Oma's great-uncle<ref name="HKDCLS">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', foldout: "The Draconis Combine's Line of Succession and Partial Kurita Family Tree"</ref> [[Adam Kurita]] led the rescue operation to free her from the rebels. After several harrowing encounters and an exhaustive firefight, Oma and her newborn son, [[Daniel Sorenson I|Daniel]], returned to the safety of [[New Samarkand]]. Jan was killed during the rescue mission. Oma never recovered from her grief over the death of her husband, sinking deep into an addiction to absinthe. Oma subsequently died in [[2397]] at only forty years of age from chronic liver failure and related complications.<ref name="HHKp22">''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 22: "Seeds of Discontent"</ref>

She was captive of the rebels and during that time she fell in love with and married Jan.
