How to be Nomad

[Nacho]

This kind of closed-mindedness is probably the reason they've been at war with humans for so long without even a cease-fire.

They were infiltrating humans, studying them, studying Sirius using human bodies, minds, and technology, for many years. Perhaps for centuries. In the beginning, Nomads had little knowledge of humans, DKV, Sirius, and even of themselves. In Omicron Alpha, they were living peacefully next to the Outcasts. In Omicron Gamma, they were attacked, but didn't retaliate on a larger scale, either because they couldn't, or because they didn't feel threatened enough. They turned very aggressive when they found out that humans discovered an active DKV artifact, which could potentially have granted them entry to other DKV worlds or destroy them. This time, the nomads wanted to beat the humans to the DKV relics.

They are at war with humans because Sirius is theirs. Now, you wouldn't welcome an intruder, taking over 90% of your own house with the intention to live there and shoot you when they see you, with open arms and a wide smile, would you?

They think it's theirs. One can't really justify possession of sector to any one species living in it. After studying and making use of human assets for a while, they decided they wanted to gain mastery over them.

Nomads are aggressive by nature, since that's how they were created. Also, they blue up Sol, the extended Intro is considered canon in discovery AFAIK.

Every life form is aggressive to something. Bears are aggressive towards humans, humans are aggressive towards cows, cows are aggressive towards grass, grass aggressively takes up space in your mom's vegetable garden. Aggression and destruction is a tool that life uses all the time. There is no reason for the nomads to feel any more compassion towards humans than you feel compassion for the tree that was used to build your desk.

Sorry for interruption, but since Nomads began infiltrating humanity, wouldn't they slowly make some research over human's behaviour and conclude some information about them? Even the most brutal and destructive race (which became rather covert with its operations) should make conclusions, if it was almost destroyed up by a way inferior race.

Indeed, they did study humans with great interest. Whether humans are inferior to nomads is debatable. Nomads have built less technology by themselves than humans, their minds are possibly less creative and less evolved. After all, they're just a bunch of virus-like machines. Possibly, they don't even have minds of their own, and needed a human host mind to become self-aware.

Aren't nomads biological weapons, created by a masturrace, set to destroy? Wasn't that the root of their demise in the SP campaign?

They were created as tools used for genetic engineering. At some point, they became self-aware.

Yes,that is true i believe.
They also happen to "evolve",since "continual service improvement" was built into their "code".

And they have used humans to make a leap forward in evolution. Like every life form, self-preservation and self-improvement became their driving force.
