Noabi Tribe

The Noabi Tribe are a nomadic people who have lived for generations passing back and forth between the Western Reach and the Barren-Lands. Due to this they are extremely skilled in desert living as well as fighting mutants. The Noabi own no territory but consider the oasis on their travels sacred as it is the only means for their communities to resupply. This has led to confrontations over the years with corporations who typically will lay claim to oasis, as a means to generate more profit and to weaken their competition. 
One particularly tense clash attracts the attention of White Horse who in turn dispatches their golden child, Cassandra Volice to resolve the issue and hopefully garner indebtedness from the corporation. However Cassandra is sympathetic to the plight of the Noabi and sides with them, the result almost causing the deployed White Horse troops to be drawn into a fight with the corporate soldiers. Concerns about the oasis vanish when a Zealot war-band attacks. Forced to fight alongside both corporate security and the White Horse unit the Noabi are impressed with Casandra's battle prowess and unflagging spirit.
Some Noabi propagate a rumor that Cassandra is in fact a reincarnation of their sun goddess and it quickly catches on. Eventually one of the gathered chiefs, Saracen, pledges his family to her service, the most elite coming to act as her personal bodyguards. Many more conservative Noabi view this as a betrayal of their people's lifestyle and refuse to associate with them any longer.
Some believe they are distant relatives of Zealots.
