An omega alert, also known as alert level omega, was a code broadcast by the Republic Strategic Information Service, the Galactic Republic's intelligence agency, that ordered all active agents to immediately respond, regardless of their current activities. Special Agent Korol Tander sent an omega alert on the moon Nar Shaddaa when he believed that their operations had been compromised by the Sith Empire during the Cold War between the Republic and the Empire, and he was alarmed to receive responses from only half of the active agents.
