DESCRIPTION ''Nomad'' is an early robotic interstellar probe launched from Earth in 2002 on a mission to search for new life-forms. Roughly cylindrical in shape, weighing 500 kilogrammes, and measuring about one metre in length, ''Nomad'' was created by the brilliant Earth scientist Jackson Roykirk . ''Nomad'' was presumed destroyed in flight by a meteor collision. It was later learned that ''Nomad'' had in fact collided with an alien space probe called '''Tan Ru''. In the aftermath of the accident, ''Nomad'' somehow repaired itself, merging its control programmes with those of ''Tan Ru''. The resulting combination of their benign programmes became deadly, Nomad's new purpose was to seek out and sterilise what it deemed to be imperfect biological infestations. ''Nomad'' destroyed all living beings in the Malurian system in 2267 , and shortly thereafter attacked the USS ''Enterprise'' . The deadly probe destroyed itself when it realised it was imperfect, having confused ''Enterprise'' Captain James T. Kirk with its creator, Jackson Roykirk . EXTERNAL LINKS |
