The Nomads, including the Slomon K'Hara, the Nomad Vagrants, and The Wild are very much like the ones in [[Videogame/Freelancer vanilla]], but with actual characterization between the OmnicidalManiac treatment they were given.

[[folder:Nomads]]
The Nomads, including the Slomon K'Hara, the Nomad Vagrants, and The Wild are very much like the ones in [[Videogame/Freelancer vanilla]], but with actual characterization between the OmnicidalManiac treatment they were given.

General Tropes:

* ApocalypseHow: [[ApocalypseHow/Class6 A class 6 is pulled on Planet Toledo.]] [[spoiler: But The Order deserved it.]]
* BenevolentPrecursors: In a twist, their creators were this for them. Humanity is trespassing on their birthright.
* DeathIsCheap: If you destroy one's body, they just have another one re-grown. The process takes at least two hours, though.
* EldritchAbomination: They're a telepathic, translucent, space-dwelling HiveMind with a side of TimeAbyss. [[SubvertedTrope Ultimately subverted]] because they were deliberately engineered by SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.
* HiveMind: A surprisingly downplayed example. The Nomads give general goals and their individual units are free to fulfill them as they see fit. Imagine [[Literature/Animorphs the Yeerks]] [[XMeetsY meeting]] [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 genestealers]].
* PlayingBothSides: Due to their running a grand total of three systems uncontested, they have no choice but to subvert the pesky humans to keep from facing a unified front.
* PuppeteerParasite: They still possess people.
* PurpleIsPowerful: They have access to toys literally millions of years more advanced than the best humanity has to offer.
* RessurectiveImmortality
* SubmarineHorror: Due to the K'Hara having a functionally unlimited cloak, every ship not within docking distance of a station with adequate defenses to ward off the Nomads will be feeling this. [[ParanoiaFuel Constantly.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[TerroristsWithoutACause The Order]] seems to take this attitude towards the Nomads despite The Core's better-funded and equipped campaign to the same ends.
* TimeAbyss: 65 million years is something of a long time.
