'''Om'a'Varo''' ([[Sangheili (language)|Saepon'kal dialect]]: '''Daughter of Varo''') is a [[Sangheili colonies|colony world]] settled by the [[Sangheili]] during the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=OC4|HOut|Chapter=4}}

==Overview==
===Nomenclature===
Oma'a'Varo is named such that in an old [[Saepon'kal]] dialect of the [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili language]], it translates to "Daughter of Varo". [[Thel 'Vadam]] noted that he found it unclear whether this name referred to the colony being founded by Sangheili from the [[State of Varo|Varo]] continent on Saepon'kal, or whether it specifically referred to [[Olabisi Varo'dai]] - the Marshal of Varo responsible for the colony's founding.{{Ref/Reuse|OC4}}

==History==
===Colonisation===
Om'a'Varo was settled by survivors of the destruction of [[Saepon'kal]], following the detonation of a [[NOVA bomb]] aboard [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]'s carrier ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'' in [[2552#October|October 2552]]. With much of the planet rendered uninhabitable, the [[Marshal]] of Varo, [[Olabisi Varo'dai]], was able to round up tens of thousands of survivors and evacuate them offworld. In doing this, she was able to convince the [[fleetmaster]] of a flotilla arriving late to Xytan's summons to assist in the evacuation effort, before later being assisted by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] in finding a new home. 'Vadam arranged a charter of colonisation for an uninhabited world in the [[Emauzs system]], leading to the establishment of a small Sangheili community on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|OC4}}

==Government and society==
Om'a'Varo is ruled by the [[High Kaidon]] Olabisi Varo'dai. As of [[2559]], there are three [[keep]]s on the planet, all swearing fealty to the Varo clan. Varo'dai is a loyal supporter of the Arbiter and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] in thanks for their assistance in founding the world; as such, she sent a cadre of [[Sangheili Ranger]]s from the planet to assist Thel 'Vadam during the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|OC4}}
