The Omecs are a sapient race of purple-skinned humanoids native to the eponymous planet located in the Votanis system. They are feared by the other Votan races, as the Omecs were known to periodically raid their system neighbors' planets and abduct subjects to be used as slaves and even as food. The Omec homeworld was later conquered by the Volge. Only one Omec colonization ship is known to have survived following the destruction of their home system.
