Altai IV

Solar energy collectors on top of nomadic trucks charge accumulator banks. Various trucks contain:

a library with thousands of microprint volumes;
arsenals;
sickbay;
machine tools;
textile and ceramic factories.

The tribe, a single social, economic and miltary unit, every adult armed, also has:

negagrav aircraft;
cars carrying missiles;
light tanks.

Each tribe controls:

grazing lands for herds of mutated cow-sized rabbits and bio-engineered ostriches;
mines for digging and smelting metals;
grain fields;
oil fields -

- or trades with those who do. They also have feasts, games, sports and a great fair. They follow not the Prophet but humanistic pantheism and revere Terra as the Mother of Men. Their Shaman deals with the native Ice Folk.
