Nomad Fighter
Length:----- 15 meters Class:------ Light Fighter Role:------- Swarmer <Snubcraft grade standards> Agility:---- Very fast Armor:------ Light Armament:--- 3 gunpoints ------------ Nomad torpedo equivalent Information on “Labraid” are classified to those without clearance level Delta or higher.
Very basic Nomad vessel, the first to be ever encountered by humanity. It is least durable of them all but superior agility - more than anything Order has ever encountered - makes it more than a match to pilots of any skill and experience.
Three tentacles work as primary weapons of this form with support armanent ranging from equivalent of disruptor design to unguided energy-type torpedo. This particular form was most frequent craft found during Nomad War era and remains appearing in huge numbers.

Nomad Assasin
Length:----- 18 meters Class:------ Heavy Fighter Role:------- Assault <Snubcraft grade standards> Agility:---- Medium Armor:------ Medium Armament:--- 7 gunpoints ------------ 1 Nomad torpedo equivalent Information on “Sascya” are classified to those without clearance level Delta or higher.
More advanced than Labraid, Sascya is much heavier and better armed than predecessor. Increased durability and more powerful shields enhance survivability but exposes its weaknesses in form of low agility when countered by equal or more agile craft.
Carrying total of seven primary guns and secondary weapon of choice akin to Labraid, this Nomad finds itself on heaviest scale of human snubcraft classification. This form appeared relatively recently, first spotted by Black Squadron operatives decade after Nomad War. It is reported to be least frequent class of Nomads appearing in the field.
Length:----- 16 meters Class:------ Bomber Role:------- Anti-capital <Snubcraft grade standards> Agility:---- Slow Armor:------ Medium-heavy Armament:--- 4 gunpoints ------------ 2 Heavy Nomad torpedo equivalent Information on “Adad” are classified to those without clearance level Delta or higher.
Slomon K'Hara entered Nomad War already with fully developed bomber class. Seen in limited numbers during the war itself, Adad numbers rose dramatically over the years afterwards conflict as Nomads lost major portion of their infested fleet in Rheinland. This form is notable due to crucial role in destruction of Freeport 7 and thus starting the war.
Adad is well capable of everything that human bombers can accomplish, using devastating weaponry to remove any big obstacle in their way. Their main cannon is known to colapse matter into short lived, unstable black hole causing extreme damage to target's hull integrity.
Length:----- 130 meters Class:------ Gunboat Role:------- Mindnode <Gunboat grade standards> Agility:---- Medium-slow Armor:------ Heavy Armament:--- 5 heavy turrets ------------ Spinal energy cannon ------------ Nomad disruptor equivalent Information on “Nammu” are classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.
Smallest capital vessel of the Nomads, Nammu was found to not be direct combat ship. Armed with only 5 turrets with varying angles, it is easiest to eliminate capship at current time.
Low number of turrets capable to fire in single direction and spinal mounted energy emitter excels this ship as fire support at best. It is of bigger importance in Nomad hierarchy as taking one down causes nearby Nomad ships to act disorganised manner for certain duration before regrouping, hence often called “Node” for alien communications.

Nomad Drone
Length:----- 100 meters Class:------ Gunboat Role:------- Heavy Assault <Gunboat grade standards> Agility:---- Very slow Armor:------ Heavy Armament:--- 8 turrets ------------ Disruptor Information on “Scorpion” are classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.
Scorpion is Nomad answer to Nammu’s limited offensive capabilities. This monstrosity sports bigger number of turrets and more compact shape. It is confirmed that Scorpion class is a drone as there are neither no human or nomad life signatures ever detected onboard. Eight turrets are seen in this configuration.
Additional information: While Scorpion is based on Nomad technology, it is not pure organic vessel. Speculations are that this is one of the Nomad attempts to merge their own technology with human one. Considering numbers of those drones in hands of Das Wilde, this is very likely scenario.
Length:----- 400 meters Class:------ Heavy cruiser Role:------- Heavy assault <Cruiser grade standards> Agility:---- Medium-fast Armor:------Super heavy Armament:--- 6 turrets ------------ 4 heavy turrets ------------ Nomad disruptor equivalent Information on “Irra” are classified to those without clearance level Theta or higher.
Originally suspected to be Node of higher class, Irra denied every initial theories concerning its purpose. It is muscle of Nomad fleet, performing various missions requiring brutal firepower. Specifications are of one of the heaviest cruisers in Sirius.
Total of 10 turrets, it is to be treated as extreme hazard in any encounter. Irra fires at decreased intervals however each individual salvo carries bigger punch. This is often cause of death for Order pilots bagatelizing this cruiser’s capability to destroy any small craft in moment’s notice. This cruiser can be spotted anywhere that Nomads intend to wage next battle.

Knossos portal
Origin:----- Daam K'Vosh Purpose:---- Jumpgate Armor:------ Super heavy Armament:--- None present
Information on “Knossos” are classified to those without clearance level Sigma or higher.
Knossos portal is name given to Alien jumpgate of Daam K'Vosh origin. As it is clear this race inhabited Sirius sector before humanity did, they developed FTL devices to travel from point A to B near-instantaneously. Basis upon which this gate works are identical to human equivalent developed by Ageira. The Knossos are known to operate even with heavy damage inflicted upon the structure. They allow indiscriminately both human and Nomad ships to travel through.

Information on “Daedalus” are classified to those without clearance level OMEGA or higher.
Daedalus is an enormous device, leftover of Daam K'Vosh empire. Theory says that this alien civilization spanned such vast distances that reliance upon regular gates like Knossos portals was a liability. Their technological prowess allowed Daam K'Vosh to travel across entire Milky Way galaxy (and perhaps beyond) with infrastructure of Daedalus portal. It is expected that due to massive energy requirements, each gate is located near star-like power source.
