-'''Code Omega Three''' is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] emergency code. This code, to be used during combat operations, chilled any soldier to the core.
+'''Code Omega Three''' is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] emergency code to be used during combat operations. It is the final panic code, an order to break and run no matter what the cost. As such, Omega Three is used only in extreme situations, when a combat situation suddenly turns extremely grim for the UNSC forces and they would be massacred if they do not immediately retreat.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', Prologue, ''page 22'' (paperback)</ref>

Except for [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]], who managed to jump into the water before they were hit, all of the Spartan-IIIs were killed by the [[Glassing|plasma bombardment]] from the Covenant cruisers and any other survivors were finished by the massive explosion of the refinery.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Prologue, ''page 25'' (paperback)</ref>

Lances of laser fire rained down from the ships' lateral weapon arrays and blasted his fellow Spartans. Firepower meant for capital ship combat… how could anyone survive that?''
-''A new sun appeared. The supercritical core flared and light filled the world. The cruisers rippled, distorted, their alloy skins boiling away in the heat. They disintegrated, bits blasted outward.''</ref>
