Non-Nomad RP on Nomad Cloaked ships

[Spud]

If your children rebelled, would you kill them, or would you give them more freedom, aiding them discretely where you can?

They aren't children, nor are they even of the same race. They are synthetic creations. Retype your analogy but replace children with lab rat. Something happened where the DK seemed to have been expecting to return but didn't end up returning. The Nomads are custodians keeping the place clean. Might be other Nomads in other Sectors too keeping other places clean as well. The lines you are trying to base things off of are just mere human speculations.

People can just read it up here instead of me quoting everything:

I'll just repeat the most important parts that show how the DKV felt about them, and how the nomads are characterized. Not my human speculation, but by the faction description. You can see them acting very similarly in the game too, especially governor Takagi.

"In some ways, the Daam-K'Vosh were surprised and even delighted by their creations (if such emotions can be applied to anything so alien), and gifted the Nomads with both increasingly sophisticated intelligence and a larger degree of autonomy."

"Perhaps the Nomads attempted a rebellion against the
Daam-K'Vosh, or perhaps the Daam-K'Vosh realized that the Nomads had matured to the point where they were ill-served by the meddling of their makers. Perhaps -- and in some ways, this seems the most likely explanation -- both events occurred.
The Daam-K'Vosh could not blame their children for desiring their independence: it was a natural if unexpected outgrowth of their origins. In engineering, it is called "exceeding the design specifications"; in life, it is called evolution.
Whatever the case, the Nomads were placed into hibernation and the Daam-K'Vosh left the Sirius Sector -- but before they did, they created an incubator, a cradle in which their nascent successors could awake, grow, and learn, away from the shadow
of their creators. The Sirius Sector was intended as an elaborate school for the Nomads, and the Daam-K'Vosh had left gifts scattered around it like toys -- the cardamine grass on Ishmael with its life-prolonging genetic code (and unexpected narcotic dependence when absorbed by human beings), the terraforming bacteria
intended to open vast numbers of worlds to the Nomads, and at the center of the sector, Valhalla 1, a library from which the Nomads could receive the wisdom of their creators when they had grown advanced enough to unseal it."

"Our relentless expansion throughout the Sirius Sector
disturbed the Nomads from their long sleep and they awoke early to find the Daam-K'Vosh gone, their worlds overrun, their birthright stolen. Rage coursed through the Nomads -- they had been abandoned, worse, they had been left to the mercy of these aliens -- and they wailed like petulant children screaming to hide their anguish.
But the Nomads were not children in any human sense of the word: they were intelligent and devious. They had once waged war against the very beings that created them, and they had learned to bide their time."

They were created as tools and toys, and their creators became so delighted with their tools and toys that they treated them like their children, and some ways the nomads are and behave like their children.
