Is there only one type of nomad, as in race or creed?

[Sprolf]

The reason that introduction wasn't included in the original game is because it didn't fit with the storyline as it turned out. It was a cool idea back in concept, but things changed along the way... which is why it doesn't make sense right now. It doesn't fit with the storyline - why don't you think Digital Anvil included it?

And we come up with all sorts of insane conclusions to justify it.
Bothersome.

Anyways, in attempt to justify using material that doesn't fit:


Hypergates could account for them being the same race, etc.
Having access to Hypergates would literally remold the universe into an entirely new shape for the species that had them...

You think they're not the same species because they blow planets up?
Sirius belongs to the Nomads, humans are squatters. What worth is Sirius if you blow up everything in it to get it back? Nothing, obviously, which is why this weapon hasn't been used in its full potential. ... I think that the weapon used against Freeport 7 was a downsized version, or at least a version not used at full power.


The "Sirian" Nomads (which would imply there's others, which I frankly don't believe) might very well have access to this weapon... they just haven't used it because that would be like using a white phosphorous grenade as a fleabomb.



EDIT: OOH! OOH!
Maybe it's Future Nomads coming back into the past to try to kill all the humans before they leave for Sirius because the Future Humans are too difficult for the Nomads to fight!
But the Future Nomads were just a little too late and the humans were never prevented from reaching Sirius and the timeline continued as normal.

That actually is the best solution I've heard thus far.
