The Nomad Class SHIPs are the backbone of the Explorer fleet - Each SHIP can be docked to two others for the long term interstellar travel.
Once at the destination the SHIP can split to explore various planets or two can continue onto their next destination.

So ends my most ambitious SHIPtember efforts ... Rule 1 of Government Spending: why have one, when you can have three, at triple the cost?
I based this build on the wonderful art form Colie Wertz's Nomad Cluster SHIP (www.artstation.com/artwork/mmov) which is a tri-SHIP combo.
Special thanks to wonderful Chris for feedback and early brainstorming, and all the folks in the Space Discord and Instagram.
1955 Chevrolet Nomad at the 2019 Back to the Fifties car show
Edited in Dreamscope and then layered over original as a texture.
Something is a bit off about this car. I called it a Nomad but the '55 Nomads had the full round wheel opening in the rear, not the style like this one but the top and quarter glass does look correct for a Nomad so not sure if someone just fixed bad quarter panels with ones for a regular wagon or if they put a Nomad top on a regular wagon. Just thought I'd mention all that before some purist takes me to task for calling it a Nomad.
I wandered from the road and became lost in the emptiness of the Tibetan plateau. Waking up from a nap, a group of children from a nomad school found me. They led me to the teachers who had studied English in India.
These teachers set up camp on the plateau and over the next two days the kids just started arriving one by one. Some had walked 3 days.
Want this image on your wall? I have 4 left from an edition of 7 @ 20x24 and 2 of the 30x40's left.

Locally known as the Bakerwals, the shepherds spend most of their life roaming from one pasture to the other with their flocks and family.
Living in the mountains of the Kashmir Valley for the summer months, away from towns and cities, they manage everything by themselves — from childbirth to funerals. A Bakerwal family undertakes such tedious walking exercises at least twice a year — once up into the mountains and then back to the plains. They breed ferocious looking shepherd dogs that protect their flocks in the mountains from predators like leopards and bears. The women work alongside the males and do almost everything the males do. They tend their flocks, milk their cattle, cook food and take care of children.

I figured since I have 2 versions of this one, and because I felt it turned out pretty good, I might as well post a few angles.

At about two to three years of age, young lions are no longer tolerated by their family ― the pride. Their mothers are usually ready for their next litter of cubs, which often drives them out to become nomads. This mostly happens to young males, but it happens to females as well; if the pride is too large and has difficulty supporting itself, young females will also be driven to become nomads.
This driving out of young lions is vital to the survival of the pride. For females, it keeps the pride at a size that requires less support. For males, there are two other advantages. First, there is less competition for the prime male over mating in the pride. Second, it helps avoid incest. By leaving the pride, the young males will move to mate with other lionesses rather than those related to them, thus the gene pool is kept healthy.
After being kicked out, young male lions either roam alone or in small bands - often with their brothers or cousins. At such age, their only option is to survive the unknown lands or perish. In fact, this is the time when most of them die; only about one in eight male lions make it to adulthood. Those who do survive and find a new territory have to take over another pride. This means fighting with the resident males - frequently to death. That’s yet another evolutionary challenge for them to stay alive.

Panzer's Nomad Bee, Nomada panzeri.
Body length; 7 - 12mm.
Flight period; March – July.
Habitat; A wide variety of habitats, as befits its wide range of hosts, but there is a strong association with woodland.
Fairly common and widespread in England and Wales, Panzer's Nomad Bee is one of the larger and more frequently encountered Nomada species. Similar to Nomada flava, females of these two species can be reliably told apart by the erect black hairs on the clypeus of N. panzeri (these are pale in N. flava), and has silvery rather than yellow hairs on the sides of the thorax. The males of these two species are extremely difficult to separate with any degree of confidence.
This species is found throughout Britain and is more frequent than N. flava in northern regions but less so in the south. Also recorded from Ireland and the Channel Islands.
It is widely distributed in Europe.
Like all nomad bee species, the Panzer's nomad bee is a cleptoparasite. As such, the females use the nests of targeted hosts and lay an egg in the wall of an unsealed nest cell, one that has already been furnished with adequate food provisions ready for the emerging host larva.
The grubs of nomad bees emerge from the egg at about the same time as the host grub. Nomad bee grubs have large, sickle-shaped mandibles which they use to destroy the host egg or grub. The nomad bee grub then consumes the food stores that were intended for the host's offspring.
In addition to Andrena fucata, Panzer's Nomad Bee will use the nests of other hosts, including Andrena fulva, Andrena helvola, Andrena lapponica, Andrena varians and Andrena synadelpha.

Trying out each of the 3 starters although I already know I want to go Nomad and have him go as full out melee.
Corporate, if I play, is all intellect and tech.
Livestock mobility, flexible use of rangelands, and diverse herds were key elements of traditional nomadic pastoral practices throughout the world and contributed to the high ecological stability of pastoral systems.
Nomads are still found today on the Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya. Known in the Tibetan language as drokpa, translating as “high-pasture people,” there are an estimated two million Tibetan-speaking nomads spread over a vast area. Throughout the Tibetan areas of what is now the People’s Republic of China and in the northern parts of Bhutan, India and Nepal, nomads are an important element in the economy and society wherever they are found, but their way of life is disappearing.

On my visit with nomadic Mongolians my eyes were everywhere and my camera very busy. I had seen this in documentaries on TV, and now I was living the experience. It was a day to remember.
No matter where I travel, I keep a journal of my experiences and impressions. Here is a part of my Journal from that day.
This morning we, and two tour groups, were met by our hosts mounted on horses, camels and yaks. We were invited to ride one of the animals, or walk with them across the valley to their camp. My best yak riding days are behind me, so I walked.
At the Nomad’s camp we went into a ger where our host welcomed us in Mongolian; a man close by translated. As a welcome, a line of jasmine snuff was run across the back of our right hand, and we snorted it. The snuff hit my brain in an instant; I loved it.
We drank fermented mares’ milk tea, and mare's milk vodka. There was also snacks and savoury pastries. After the snacks came the entertainment, there was a man playing a drum, another with a string of animal knuckle bones and three men playing horse head fiddles. They made beautiful music.
When one man broke into double throat singing I was stunned. I've seen and heard it in documentaries, but here was a man doing it live in front of me. He sang two songs, I loved it and wanted to hear more.
In a second ger we were shown how they prepare food, make cheese and weave cloth. The men were moved outside into an entirely different world, fish was being smoked in a smoking box, bags of cheese in muslin were hung over bowls while the whey was collected in dishes.
Men demonstrated everyday activities, I saw men making felt which they use to make rugs and line their gers. The tour groups departed and we were free to explore and talk with the people.
There were two yak calves whose mothers had rejected them, they were being raised by hand. I saw them being fed from big plastic bottles.
Our hostess milked a goat, we could ride camels and horses, and yaks were hitched to drays for rides. Around midday we were served a Mongolian meal. I was served three large pastries stuffed with seasoned meat. I don't know what the meat was, but it tasted good. On the side was a cabbage salad and other vegetables. Fermented mares milk tea and more pastries were served to end the meal.
After lunch we were invited to take extended rides on either a camel or a yak. There are two serious sports in Mongolia, Archery and Knuckle bone shooting. Both sports are hotly contested at the Naandam Festival due to start in a couple of days time.
I was fascinated to watch the Knuckle Bone shooting where a shooter had to launch a tile from a flat device using only his fingers. The idea was to hit and knock down an array of knuckle bones from a distance of about five metres. The double throat singer was practicing and will be a contestant at Naandam. He could knock those knuckles down just as well as he sang.
After the Knuckle Bones we were introduced to Mongolian archery. Shooting an arrow can't be all that hard, but it wasn't easy. While trying to get our arrows to fly more than a few metres, a boy aged about 10 joined the fun. He was an accomplished archer.
Next we had refreshments and participated in a variety of Mongolian parlour games, all involving knuckle bones. It really was a lot of fun and a real education.
We left the nomad’s camp after many hand shakes and hugs and walked back across the valley to our camp for an evening sleeping in our very own ger.
Day 26, Press L to view large.
