Omega Halo first appeared in the sixth terminal in ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s campaign. The events depicted in this terminal were later adapted and expanded, (in a highly modified form), in ''Halo: Silentium''. The terminal depicts Omega Halo in orbit around a gas giant with several nearby moons; there are no signs of the battle described in the novel.

Fictionally, ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals are depicted as transmissions from within the [[Domain]], whereas ''Silentium'' is presented as legal testimony from several individuals who were present during the battle, most importantly the Librarian, contained within the memory banks of a [[Catalog]] and a [[monitor]]. As the Domain is known to alter records with no apparent explanation, it is likely that ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s interpretation is a condensation or abstraction of the events that actually transpired. Since Omega Halo was the last ring of the first array to be built it possibly could have been Installation 12.
