OmegA was a medium to heavy-lift launch vehicle concept that spent several years in development by Northrop Grumman during 2016–2020, with that development substantially funded by the US government. OmegA was intended for launching US national security satellites, as part of the US Department of the Air Force NSSL replacement program. In August 2020, the design was not selected by the Air Force in the competitive process, and NGIS has decided not to continue the development as a commercial competitive offering with further development funded by NGIS.
OmegA consists of new composite solid rocket stages with a cryogenic upper stage provided by Aerojet Rocketdyne, replacing earlier plans to use an upper stage engine provided by Blue Origin. OmegA is similar to the defunct Ares I and Liberty projects, both of which consisted of a five segment Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and a cryogenic second stage. It is intended to be launched from Kennedy Space Center LC-39B or Vandenberg Air Force Base SLC-6.

“Turns out. It was just some solid booster strapped together. Not even a real rocket”

Its a shame that you need to change the description from in development to cancelled
