Nomads

The Nomad Clans, known in common as the Rûmil, are a group of three unique clans who do not live sedentiary lives on planets, but instead live on ships, roaming from system to system for trade and contact with others.

Description
The Nomad Clans are travelling clans that lead semi self-sufficient lives on board of smaller fleets of ships that move in unison. The core of each clan fleet is a ship called a Drênod, huge vessels more than half a kilometre long, housing around ten thousand inhabitants each. Here you find most of the clan's population, leadership, industry, supplies, and social life.

Each clan adheres to a hierarchical social system that has its roots in the military origins of the clan fleets. The head of each clan, the Komad, acts as both the supreme authority of the clan, as well as fleet commander. The Komad is often the oldest and still healthy member of the clan.

Origins
The Nomads find their origin in the ruin of Tôr. Before the ruin, Tôr had let construct three massive warships to show the incredible wealth and might of the planet to the rest of the galactic community. These ships, the Drênods, were frightening weapons that were theoretically capable of levelling a large planetary settlement on its own. They were designed to utilise onboard ship AI to facilitate easier operation, resulting in a relatively low crew count - however, the ship was made large to accomodate anything from soldiers to military equipment should it be necessary. This means that each Drênod could at the time comfortably house around 8,000 people.

With the ruin of Tôr, its fleet - and its Drênods - were soon without a government to serve. It was quickly realised that these terrifying weapons, if they ended up in the wrong hands, cause serious mayhem and upheaval in the local region. Therefore, the remaining leadership of the Tôr space force divided the fleet into three parts, each with an accompanying Drênod at its core and under the command of the Drênod commander. Each fleet commander then swore an oath to never bow to the will of a settled world and to never use its terrifying power for aggressive purposes.

Over time, the vessels - particularily the Drênods - were modified by their crews, dismantling a large part of its destructive capability in exchange for more living space in a process that would slowly turn the huge vessels into mobile cities. In the present, it is estimated that each Drênod carries a population of around 10,000 people.

Clans
There are three clans named after their lead Drênod ship: Gaera, ?, and ??.
