Borellian Nomen: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:07, 11 September 2006

The Borellian Nomen are humans who are part of a warrior tribe. Unlike typical humans that form the Twelve Colonies, they have a bony ridge on their foreheads and are from "the land of the mega sun and the endless sands." They dislike associating themselves with the Colonials, but there is at least one ship in The Fleet that is apparently controlled by Nomen (The Man with Nine Lives). Despite their dislike for Colonials, they dislike the Cylons more, as they are machines (Baltar's Escape).

Much about Nomen is not known, other than the fact that they follow a doctrine referred to as "The Code" and use laser bola as a form of weapon, which they draw with purpose (The Man with Nine Lives). Nomen are also capable of stopping, or at the very least lowering their life-function, for a temporary period of time and have extremely well-tuned reflexes and seemingly super-human strength (Baltar's Escape).
