Basically, the Nomads were connected to an ancient race, and were largely destroyed when said ancient race's hyperspace gate network was reinitialized by an alien artefact carried by one freelancer called Trent.
They were defeated because advanced alien technology was used against them.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
