Rimward Reach Nomads
The three nomad swarms in the Rimward Reach (Sector) are a motley group without a clear common agenda (though they are all part of the Nomad Federation). They are basically self-sufficient but trade when they need to, and run some rudimentary mining operations. They control a large number of ships, but are spread across all of the Rimward Reach as the new colonists have outmatched them in forming permanent settlements.
“Swarm” is the nomadic term for a group of space ships with a common ancestry. A swarm is normally spread over several AUs. Individual vessels can leave the swarm for short periods of time, but it is rare for a ship to change swarm. The three swarms of today are the warmongering Mehtar, the secretive Badjao, and the Yahin-Kabu, the traders. A fourth swarm, Ahilar, was lost at the beginning of the The Marrab Conflict, a schism that affected the entire Rimward Reach.
