Lore
Origin
Created in Fosterite Empire, as a slave race to endure high-pressure & high-gravity environments, particularly for heavy industry applications. This legacy has given them a stigma of "not belonging" in civilized PE spaces, but their utility outweighs that.
Their robustness led to long lifespans, which led to overpopulation > food collapse > cannibalism > reduced fertility treatments
Their durability & zeal led to them being used as expendable troops in times of war, far less expensive to produce than the highly engineered Gammas.

Physiology
Short & stout, designed to withstand High-G/-pressure environments.
Turgid in normal- or low-G. Their eyes might have a bulging appearance, and their complexion generally suffers. Long-term they may suffer from poor eyesight and tinnitus due to intracranial pressure.
Psychology
Culture
Within Fosterite Empire
Menial servant & heavy labor caste. Butlers, porters, miners, organ farms, expendable troops, etc.
They generally wear masks to conceal their appearance. They are given names in an equivalent fashion to Deltas, and often go by a nickname based on the last portion.
Culture heavily dominated by indoctrination & duty to PE. Anyone outside PE is necessarily against the PE. So there is a small movement of Omega Rebels, but it is uncommon for them to break from their conditioning, as they tend to have a rigid mindset. Even their revolutionaries can be rigid in terms of revolutionary thought (tankies?).
Connate Clanfriths
General
They like equilateral shapes & symmetry, but tend to embellish their most prized objects.
Military technology is direct & brutish, e.g. high firepower and heavy armor. But poor redundancy and flexibility. Sometimes crudely effective to an almost suicidal degree.
