Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A space-based culture who moves around nomadically.
* '''Straight''': The Voidborn spend their lives aboard spaceships, which move around the galaxy instead of staying within specific areas of space.
* '''Exaggerated''': The Voidborn live in a massive fleet of spaceships, refuse to stay within a single system for more than a short span of time, and consider setting foot on a planet to be unlucky.
* '''Downplayed''': The Voidborn use their spaceships as their primary living spaces and don't bind themselves to any one homeland, but they're perfectly willing to stay put long-term if they have something to gain from doing so.
* '''Justified''':
** The Voidborn need access to planet-bound environments and resources to keep their ships functional, but don't control systems of their own and other states don't want large unbeholden fleets hanging around theirs long-term, so they move around to avoid getting on powerful people's nerves.
** The Voidborn are a ProudMerchantRace who go where the profits are.
* '''Inverted''': The Voidborn live in large, immobile space stations and are fiercely possessive of their home systems.
* '''Subverted''': The Voidborn are mistaken for wandering nomads when they pass through the system. They turn out to just be on a one-off migration and fully intend to settle down permanently once they get where they're going.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then their intended destination turns out to have been destroyed long ago, forcing the Voidborn to keep wandering.
* '''Averted''': There are no nomads in space. All the factions have their territory and little interest in leaving it.
