Some people call them vagabonds, wanderers, or even outlaws, but whatever their name, nomads use a mix of charm, guile, and luck to make their way through the galaxy.
Nomads are often driven by wanderlust as free traders and adventurers, ever-seeking new friends, frontiers, and fortunes.
A welcome presence in any adventuring party, nomads are versatile combatants that can empower allies, confound enemies, and quickly adapt to the flow of a fight. Nomads are often leaders, using their charm and wit as readily as their firearm to diffuse a hostile situation.
