Appearance
Sand Nomads wearing in the StarCitizen:Homestead Demo a tight linen-like 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.
