Omega 13 is a 20-page meta, fiction and art Galaxy Quest ezine. Despite the cover numbering, there are no other issues. The zine's central conceit is that it is the product of the (in real life, nonexistent) fandom for the (also nonexistent) Galaxy Quest TV show. Omega 13 was made to accompany the Yuletide story SMOF. The credits listed in the TOC are Galaxy Quest-themed pseudonyms for the real contributors, who are listed in the notes for the fic.

It is free to download. It was edited and published by Holli as part of the Dreamwidth community DIYFanzines.

The community profile announced: "We're here to attempt to make fanzines in the DIY mode: rather than big bound volumes of fic, let's try something smaller, more individual and more experimental. Use meta, fanart, and short fic to talk about your favorite fandoms, and soon you'll be master of the long-arm stapler!"[1]
