Possible spoiler to new update

[Exile]

Right, so, you lose the war, in an infant state, get majorly damaged, in said infant state, then 17 years later, you're a big nasty terrifying monster again. Beyond ignoring the fact that humans would be growing too, and from a much, much larger base, the common wisdom from humans will still be, no matter how nasty the nomads are, "Hey, we beat them already"

In the last 17 years since the war, humans have entered the most expansive period in all of Sirius history, I assert. Nomads may be expanding, and back to where they are..but you know what they've built? A couple of cities, a huge rock complex, a lair or two(Xerna was already there).

What have humans expanded into? I couldn't even begin to count. But I'll name some things.
A research facility. An orbital colony larger than the ring. Two shipyards, another shipyard....Newcastle. Canadian systems. Ellesmere. 100.

Honestly, the development and expansion to 100 alone more than competes with nomad growth.

EDIT:
Ok, yes, deus ex machina. Do we want to pull that from the canon? We could. But, if we don't remove that, and hence change...everything...the fact remains that they left their heart out where Trent could stab it. Stab it he did. That would hurt.

So now the one with the most buildings and planets is the most powerfull badass out there?

Nomads grow quite rapidly if they have the right powersource. Again, I'll point to the Lore, due to the fact the sun in Iota didn't have enough juice, they went and sucked Xerna dry. I.E We take Nomads, add a powersource. What do you get? Biger, badder Nomads. It's that simple.
