The history of the Nomads is veiled and remains a puzzle for anyone who has studied them, fought them, or even attempted to understand them. The Nomads are an enigma, an entity as threatening as it is so little understood. Nobody truly knows how or why the Nomads came to be, though there have been many heories among academics in recent years.

Arial:

Proof of the existence of extra-terrestrial sentient lifeforms was found a relatively long time ago when mankind arrived in the Sirius Sector; they iscovered that Sirius was once inhabited by a very powerful alien species commonly referred to as the Daam K'Vosh. As it expanded throughout the systems mankind eventually found the Nomads. Although it was not the only first contact with the Nomads in history of humanity, it was the first time that humans in Sirius had made contact with an alien species.

Courier:

However, long before the first meeting between Nomads and humans, before the sleeper ships arrived in the Sirius Sector, and before mankind rose back into the stars, the Nomads were already there. They were merely dormant, waiting for their time to come. The question of who put them there and why were they there still exists today. The Daam K'Vosh created them ultimately for a purpose unknown; there is no theory that successfully proves or disproves what the intentions of the Daam K'Vosh were.

Impact:

Originally believed only to be guardians of the ancient race, it appears that the Daam K'Vosh had also left the Nomads a chance to learn and evolve independently. To aid them, their creators left markers that would act as lighthouses in the cosmic storm to guide them to safe shores, perhaps hoping the Nomads might one day lay claim to their own land and create themselves a place and a life of their own; no one knows whether that life or land will be within the Sirius Sector or away in some unknown location.

Tahoma:

Each marker left behind was supposed be a guide to different evolutionary steps the Nomads would take to reach their full potential and claim the destiny their creators intended for them, whatever that may be. However things did not go as planned. The arrival of humanity changed everything.

Times New Roman:

Realizing their mistake, the Nomads rushed to defend the Sphere at all costs. If not for a desperate and final suicidal rush, humanity may have lost the war. The artifact was meant to open a hypergate; however the Dyson Sphere had to be prepared before this was opened. The premature activation drained the energy grids and deprived the Nomads of the energy they had gathered from the enclosed star. Along with the sphere the Mindshare collapsed, unable to maintain links between many of its nodes. Much of their force was in disarray; unable to function properly, some went mad, tearing the sphere apart.

Trebuchet MS:

However there were others. Advisors who had sensed this outcome left the city shortly before the event took place, taking the most precious Nomad knowledge of how to restore and maintain the Mindshare with them. Along with several others, they made their journey far off beyond the known systems to the place of their creation. To the only safe place they knew.

Verdana:

The few remaining Nomads have traveled deeper into the Omicrons and beyond the edge of Sirius. They fled from human interference and settled in several systems including those now known as Omicron Iota and Omicron 99. They had inhabited these systems in the past, and now needing a haven in which to recover, they returned to them. The problem they faced in this area was that they lacked the energy required to maintain their fleets and infrastructure, all which now required far more than the place could offer.

Lucida Console:

The two stars in Omicron Iota could barely keep them alive, and to become firmly established in the area they needed more, far more. Although Nomads prefer to settle in open space by building massive structures, they had no choice but to use a planet, perhaps in a most unusual way, as an energy source. An icy planet within the Omicron Iota system now known as Planet Xerna was chosen for the task. By burrowing deep into the planetary crust the Nomads were able to expose the core and use it as an energy source.

Comic Sans MS:

An icy planet within the Omicron Iota system now known as Planet Xerna was chosen for the task. By burrowing deep into the planetary crust the Nomads were able to expose the core and use it as an energy source. This came at a price though, in time the planetary temperature would begin to fall to the point that no life could exist on the surface or beneath it, eventually becoming no more than a very large asteroid. This end result did not deter the Nomads, though; they were created to live in deep space, after all. The decision was made to utilize the planet’s core for as long as it would provide power, or until a better solution could be devised.

Agency FB:

Using a number of recovered artifacts, the Nomads discovered that an alternative power source was feasible. This one could sustain them for quite a long time. Two artifacts were located and retrieved that, when detonated, would create highly concentrated nebulae. Used correctly, these could be harnessed into a cheap source of energy. The artifacts were touched off on opposite sides of Omicron Iota. Most of the system, along with Xerna, was quickly engulfed in the resultant swirling dark clouds. The explosions also had an unforeseen effect, in that a new star also began to form in the system, altering gravity and expanding the Nebulae further.

Garamond:

Planet Xerna could no longer serve its purpose. The surface temperatures dropped to, and then below, the critical point whereupon it was rendered completely inert. It now exists as an icy wasteland; its temperatures only a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, rendering the planet inhospitable to any lifeform but Nomads. It was at this point that the long forgotten and abandoned Altair Research Complex came back into use, and for a time they settled there until a new and massive city could be completed. This new complex, once finished would secure the area once and for all.

Calibri:

The Nomads still possessed the upper hand in technology which they had successfully replicated from that of the Daam K'Vosh, and thus applying all their knowledge and skill they intended this place to be a last bastion. It was the last line of defense for those left behind and struggling against the human expansion. To begin to understand the Nomads we must first look back to the very first specimen created, the Nomad progenitor. In order to understand that, though, we must also understand what the Daam K’Vosh were capable of.

Segoe UI:

Based solely on the technological feats their civilization was capable of, one could say that they were indeed masters of the baryonic world; the ability to manipulate matter at its most basic level to perform what would only be described as magic by today’s standards. From this knowledge, it would lend itself to the understanding that the Daam K’Vosh also understood the underlying mechanics of life. The ability to forge life from the matter of the heavens around them would signify their mastery of the universe.

Georgia:

The very first Nomad was most likely a synthetic organism, one that arose from the hands of the Daam K’Vosh instead of forming through natural, chaotic means. Assembled with the assistance of fantastically-advanced nanofabrication processes, atom by atom, molecule by molecule, the Nomad Progenitor Cell was brought to life with the start of a simple, self-sustaining chemical process that thrived on a substrate of similar composition to that found in what is now known as Cardamine.
