The Nomads: From Earth to the Stars
Chapter 1: The Earthbound Wanderers
In the early days of the Western world, a tribe known as the Pars—a nomadic Indo-European people—roamed the vast Eurasian steppes. Under the dynamic leadership of Cyrus, they carved out sovereignty across lands stretching from Macedonia to the Indus Valley, from Oman to the Black Sea1. These Pars nomads were more than wanderers; they were architects of empires.

Chapter 2: Post-Nomadic Empires
As time flowed, the Pars transformed. Their tents gave way to palaces, and their horses became chariots. The Pars empire flourished, blending the nomadic spirit with settled governance. But they were not alone. Post-nomadic empires—forged by former wanderers—rose to prominence. These empires, like the Bakhtiari tribe ascending the Zagros Mountains, were powerful, well-populated, and enduring2.

Chapter 3: The Cosmic Odyssey Begins
Fast-forward to the 21st century. Earth, our cradle, faced challenges—natural and human-made. A window of decision opened: spacefaring or stagnation. The species chose the stars. And so, The Nomads Space Organization emerged—a lineage stretching back to the Pars, the Bakhtiari, and beyond.

Their ships no longer rode on horseback; they soared on ion drives. Their tents were habitats on distant moons, and their flocks were data streams. The nomadic ethos—adaptability, resourcefulness, and resilience—propelled them beyond the solar system.
