How well-known is the Nomad war ?

Shameless bit of self advertising but here's my brilliant theory.

Nomads threw the whole 'lets be subtle' thing out the window in vanilla. Rheinland doing what it did has no other rational explanation for the various incursions it supposedly made into Liberty, Kusari and Bretonia. And lets be honest, given the 800 year history of Sirius, I would imagine someone somewhere would have asked the question: Is this normal behavior? The logical answer being 'no, of course not'. Even Gallia, with all it's might, isn't mad enough to attack all 4 houses at once. So by that logic, someone must have come up with a reasonable explanation as to why Rheinland did what it did in vanilla.

However, the question as to 'is it public' is more or less straight forward. The various Military's and intelligence factions know about Nomads, the Core and the Order, know about nomads. The Outcasts, the Corsairs, the Zoners and presumably the GMG to a limited extent, would have knowledge of them. What is that if not public information? Sure, nomads have their fair share of secrets, where they live, how they came to be ect, but an all out suppressed secret? Seems highly unlikely given the current state of affairs. Plus you can tie it into the fact that people now (21st century) believe aliens are out there, and why would that belief change a couple hundred years down the line? I mean, you've got people now saying 'aliens did it' so presumably you'd have similar people in Sirius saying it as well, but with a hell of a lot more validity than old Billy-Bob telling us a yarn about how his cousin Hank went to the pub for an hour, woke up in some ditch and because he didn't remember how he got there, aliens must have been involved.

Wilde on the other hand, completely different. Spotting them, identifying them as infected ect...not something you can figure out in a passing ''hello''. But Nomads being public knowledge? I'd say so, more or less. Remember, 99% of the people on Texas probably wouldn't care even if it were true.

That's my 2 cents anyhow.
