The Nomad war was humanity's first series of encounters with the Slomon K'hara, better known as the Nomads. With engagements taking place all over the sector, it was an entirely unconventional war. The Nomads attempted to infiltrate humanity and cause conflict between the houses. The plan nearly worked, but was halted by the actions of a group known as The Order as well as several individuals associated with them. The Nomads were by no means wiped out, and it appears that the "Nomad War" may have only been the first battle in a coming conflict.

Synopsis

It is generally agreed that the first open action of the Nomad war was the destruction of Freeport 7 by the Nomads. While originally labelled as an attack by The Order. The assault was in fact an attempt by the Nomads to regain a Daam K'Vosh artifact. At the same time, the Nomads were continuing to infect high-ranking military and political leaders, particularly in Rheinland.

The Missing artifact came into the possession of Edison Trent a freelancer who had been on Freeport 7. Eventually, he was detected by infected members of the Liberty Navy and LSF and declared a wanted man. Fleeing to Bretonia with his companions, he sought out the elusive scientist Roland Quintaine.

By this time, the Rheinland Military was almost entirely under Nomad control and had begun to launch more and more daring raids. While meeting on Planet Sprague, Trent and his colleagues were attacked by a Rheinland Battlegroup. Fleeing, they eventually met up with Quintaine in the Dublin system. Under pressure from increasing attacks, the group eventually fled to Kusari, the native house of Jun'ko Zane, one of Trent's companions.

In Kusari, Trent sought out the Proteus Tome. An artifact discovered in Kusari recently, Sinclair and Quintaine required access to it to fully analyze Trent's artifact. Trent eventually joined forces with the Blood Dragons to search for the Tome. In deperation they launched an all out attack on Tekagi's Arch, the chief fortress of Governor Tekagi, the man in charge of the Kusari infected. While casualties were high, Trent managed to escape with the Tome, killing Tekagi in the process.

It is at this time that historical records become hazy. Records from hereon are the compilation of numerous different sources. Having fled once again, this time from Kusari. As he moved to Rheinland to meet with a "Diedrich Von Claussen". En route, they intercepted and destroyed numerous Rheinland Ships, even as the entire Rheinland Military marched into Kusari.

Rendezvousing with Von Claussen, Trent flew with the Bundschuh and destroyed a Nomad shipyard in Frankfurt. Subsequently, Trent and his companions were met by the Battleship Osiris and Casper Orillion of the Order. Engaging in a number of pitched battles, the Order faced overwhelming odds. Eventually, having discovered the uses of Trent's artifact, the Order activated the Daam K'vosh hypergate system, draining the power source of the Nomads, at a stroke killing almost all infected people, and drastically reducing the Nomad's ability to wage war.
