A few days ago, Tom Mazanec asked the question; 'how much of the Oort Cloud has been exploited so far in OA?
There are billions of objects in the Solsys Oort Cloud larger than a kilometre; however the OA canon suggests that only ten thousand of those have been colonised. This means there are literally billions of unused or underused objects in our system alone. This could allow a Nomad/Crawlonise strategy to spread throughout our Oort Cloud and transfer to other, nearby examples without infringing on any significant territorial claims.
The Nomad strategy could be exported to any number of stars in the Terragen Sphere, most of which are not fully exploited either. These Nomads could be allied with the Deeper Covenant, or work in opposition to them; they could be Hiders or Backgrounders, or something entirely separate from all of these. And as I suggested above, the Nomads might persist long after the rest of Terragen civilisation has collapsed or transcended.
