Nomad

Following the discovery of a crashed alien ship, the Organization of Earth's Special Intelligence (OESI) begins to study the alien technology and repair the vessel. This project is named NOMAD and after several months, a human astronaut pilots the ship to begin a mission of exploration. Shortly after launch, the ship develops a malfunctioning engine and is rescued by another ship who is a member of the Galactic Alliance. This Alliance is a group of alien races engaged in hostilities with a mechanized race known as the Korok whose programming is to claim all the resources in the galaxy. Earth lies right in the middle of this conflict and so the player decides to join the Alliance and help them in their battle against the Korok.

Nomad is a space exploration, trading, and combat game. Its basic gameplay mechanics revolve around communications and trading with various alien races (based on bartering rather than currency), as well as defending the ship against hostile crafts in action-oriented space combat. Compared to other space simulations, the game is more story-driven, featuring scripted conversations with characters and information-gathering. The game world includes several hundreds of planets and eleven alien races. The player-controlled ship can be customized with weapons (such as missiles), loaders, shield generators, engines, scanners, and jamming devices.
