Omag


Omag was an obese Ferengi arms trader during the late-24th century. He was quite fond of the song "Melor Famagal" and beautiful women.

In 2368, he stole a Vulcan transport, the , from Surplus Depot Z15 and delivered it to a Barolian freighter at Galorndon Core, near the Romulan Neutral Zone. William T. Riker followed him to Qualor II to seek information about missing Vulcan ships. Omag was thoroughly disreputable and refused to give any information. Riker threatened to revoke his right of passage in the sector, which would severely hamper his arms dealing. After the threat from Riker, he revealed that the Romulans were involved in the theft of Vulcan ships. ()

Background information 
Omag was played by actor William Bastiani. He filmed his scenes on Wednesday,  on Paramount Stage 8. 

The script for "Unification II" describes Omag as, "the fattest Ferengi we've ever seen... on his arms, two gorgeous women in skintight dresses." 

The combination of his rank insignia is unique in that his uniform bore all the hallmarks of a DaiMon's uniform, but he did not wear tattoo typically associated with DaiMon's, which would become a trend through the remainder of the series. 

In his review of the episode, Star Trek author Keith R.A. DeCandido described Bastiani's performance as "tiresomely overbearing".
