'''Sand Nomads''' are a group of human [[StarCitizen:Outlaws]], living a restless life on [[StarCitizen:Leir III]]. Ignored by the [[StarCitizen:UEE]] and the [[StarCitizen:Outsiders]], they forming small wandering groups, endangered by the [[StarCitizen:Valakkar]] and the raging sandstorms of the planet.

== Appearance ==
Sand Nomads wearing in the [[StarCitizen:Homestead Demo]] a tight linen-like [[StarCitizen:Starcloth|cloth]] skirt and trousers in combination with a armored suit to protect their body. They also wear a hood - similar to a tallit or a berber cheich. But instead of a veil (typical for the chich) to protect their eyes, mouth and nose from sand grains, they use a special mask which covers mouth and face. In the demo they speak also a cryptic high-pitched language.

== Development ==
The Desert Nomad game character was made for the 2016 [[StarCitizen:CitizenCon]] presentation in the fall as basically one of the enemy soldiers in the demo on an idea by Josh Herman.<ref>[https://relay.sc/transcript/around-the-verse-3-10-uk Relay.sc Transcript of Around The Verse, Ep. 3.10], accessed 2016-12-05</ref> Later on this character was converted to a wearable player armor/costume. This character was created on a tight deadline in about four weeks, mostly by [[StarCitizen:James Ku]]. [[StarCitizen:Josh Herman]] made the hires sculpt of the helmet. Omar Aweidah made the hires sculpt of the arm armor. The concept illustration was done by [[StarCitizen:Jeremiah Lee]] who labeled the model "desert Nomad Character.<ref name=":0">[https://www.jameskuart.com/scnomad Star Citizen - Desert Nomad], jameskuart.com</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/rRsF6_lwLas Around The Verse: Road to CitizenCon, Minute 02:58], accessed 2016-10-15</ref>
