Nomad Battle Specialist OCCNOMAD Battle Specialist
by Edward May; Inspired by ideas and concepts of Dan Beaton
The NOMAD Battle Specialist is the cream of the crop of Desert Star's military. These are the men who pilot that tank across the burning desert to engage foes twice their number, while high above yet another Battle Specialist is slugging it out with a CS Nightwing in an Aerodyne! They are found on all fronts piloting or soldiering, the NOMAD troop through and through.
