Um.....well there's a about a few million thugs, freelancers, mercs, pirates, smugglers, etc on that cesspool of the galaxy, they all know how to use a gun one way or another (not sure if they are actually good in a firefight though, the mercs probably are though) so that should count somehow.

That, and it's probably the capital of the entire Terminus systems (or a vast majority of its power is on there), taking Omega back could get the rest of the Terminus systems to join the fight if they haven't already.
