The Nomad Code

Take only a fair wage for a day's work.

The Dawn Runners were founded about twenty years ago by an African-American woman who calls herself Spark. She is still head of the clan. The clan is about three-fourths women, and three-fourths of the clan claim African descent, however, the clan is a little more then two-thirds African or African-American women.
Rulership and positions of authority are always held by women. For the most part, things are decided on a vote, and while men have a vote, their voices have sometimes been set aside when Spark has decided that it would be best for the clan.
During an emergency, Spark makes the decisions. She has a small council of elders, made up of her closest friends, and the women who have been with her since before the founding of the clan, and they help her with the decision making, and mostly the enforcement of her decisions. (Firefly is on that council.)

Nomads have given up life under flourescent light and eating pre-pack in exchange for starlight and freedom and a life of riding the range, living their own way.
