New Phantom Ships....

[Kane]

The people are easily explained. Nomads took them, then once the plan went out the window they went to ground and hid. Now that they have this one base, the Nomads can make trips up here to exchange information or hosts. Humans might have been there at first, but other Nomads brought more hosts with them.

The absence of "Nomad" bars and dealers is solved just as simply; Whatever base the Phantoms take over would have been built for humans first. Nomads just took it and nobody bothered or remembered to take it back.

Even in the regular FL bases/planets, you never see more then 20 people at a location total. Ever. 1 in the equipment room, 1 in ship lot, 1 or possibly 3 in the cargo dealer, and a handful at the bar. We could just come up with the excuse that the particular Nomads we see are in hosts, and many others are out and about elsewhere. Most possibly without hosts.
