'''Omega Signal''' was a code that the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance to Restore the Republic's]] [[Alliance Military/Legends|military forces]] used as an order to all personnel to break contact with enemy forces and retreat. Alliance personnel designated as [[Alliance Battle Staff]] had the authority to issue the evacuation order, which had its own code. In the instance of the [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|Battle of Hoth]], the code was "K-one-zero, all troops disengage."

Omega Signal was also used by small-unit commanders in the field for the same purpose. Leaders of such units as [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighter]] [[Squadron/Legends|squadrons]] could use the command to order an immediate withdrawal of their command, or to alert them to an ambush or that their cover had been blown.
