	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 [[Borella]] which they describe as "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 {{TOS\|The Fleet\|Fleet}} that is apparently controlled by Nomen {{OS\|The Man with Nine Lives}}.

	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 {{OS\|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 {{OS\|Baltar's Escape}}. They pursue a form of [[w:Vendetta\|vendetta]] against enemies, called the [[blood hunt]].
