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 Proud Merchant Race 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.
