On Kandemir, fertile plains facilitated a nomad culture which domesticated animals, invented writing, government and technology and conquered cities where helots then worked at immobile tasks such as mining.
A hundred years ago, T'sjuda discovered Kandemir and hired Kandemirians as mercenaries for imperialism on primitive planets, also practiced by Xo and some other planets. Kandemirians became interstellar conquerors still held to their home planet by seasonal rites and even defeated and subordinated T'sjuda but the Vorlakka Draga then headed an opposing coalition.
I have to break off because we are getting ready to go out to The Hunt for Moriarty.
Keep rereading Anderson and Conan Doyle.

Kaor, Paul!
I dunno, on Earth nomadism has not worked very well as far as founding long lasting realms where the nomads stayed nomadic. Human nomads, most famously the Mongols, can conquer vast territories, but they always ended up being assimilated by the nations they conquered.
