Conspiracy!

[Stewgar]

I hope that everybody is doing well! I love me some conspiracy about... well, anything. I know most of it is crazy talk and the evidence is a stretch to find any real correlation to the idea, but it's a fun kind of 'what if' for me to enjoy. Feel free to post your own conspiracies or discuss/debate my and other conspiracies.

Conspiracy: The Nomads need humanity.

Evidence: In the intro of the game, we see the 4 sleeper ships escaping Sol for the Sirius region of space (it was a miracle that they even escaped, keep that in mind). The war waged on and the Coalition were going to be the clear winners of the war. Once the alliance surrendered, it may have been possible that the Coalition learned of the sleeper ships whereabouts and track them down. However, an unknown ship (Nomad) just so happened to destroy the sun and destroy all of Sol. Except for environmental factors, the sleeper ships were safe to colonize.

The Liberty, which many speculated took off earlier than the rest and had better, faster engines, was the first ship to arrive in the Sirius sector to begin surveying for habitable planets. It just so happens to find Planet Manhattan, one of the most habitable and richest planets in the entire area. And what else just so happens to be found on Planet Manhattan? Valhalla 1.

Skip this if you know what Valhalla 1 is, but I'll give a quick summary. Valhalla 1 are old ruins found deep within the mountains of Planet Manhattan that contain within them secrets and codes to technologies. This prompted the creation of the Order. There's a lot of stuff I'm missing out in between, but look it up, it's a good read. It basically propelled Liberty into superiority and, through trade, enabled all of the houses to build what is needed.

The Nomads are not builders or engineers. Yes, they can grow their own ships, but they lack the infrastructure to grow the number of ships required to pose a serious enough threat to any other space faring races out there. Thats where humanity comes in. The Nomads wanted to guide humanity to Sirius so that they can build the shipyards and infrastructure to build the Nomad war machine. This is apparent by Nomad ships being grown in Rheinland and Liberty shipyards through the single player campaign.

The Nomads must have sensed the energy registers coming from the Sol system, because of war, and came to investigate. They found an "intelligent" space fairing race capable of building what they needed. Lets infiltrate their ranks, pressure the Alliance to send sleeper ships to Sirius, colonize the worlds, and build the infrastructure that is required to build a Nomad armada to conquer the galaxy! What better way to speed up this process is by planting a cache of technology secrets on the most habitable world in the area. So when a fleeing space-fairing species is looking to colonize, they will find this golden egg. It will then be only a matter of time before finding this cache. But wait, the Libertonians within the alliance faction seem to have a superiority complex. Only the best will suit them! Lets infiltrate their ranks to have their sleeper ship launch first, and also have the fastest engine. These people will find our cache for sure! Thus, the sleeper ships launched into space to colonize Sirius.

TLR The Nomads infiltrated Coalition/Alliance ranks to allow the sleeper ships to colonize Sirius so that they can build the infrastructure required to grow Nomad fleets. Valhalla 1 was used to provide the technology required and from there it only took 800 years for humanity to build what the Nomads felt was required to infiltrate and take over.

I know this is not true, but it's fun to think about. Comment, find holes, add evidence, or post your own conspiracy!
