Sand Nomads
From the Star Citizen Wiki

A Sand Nomad
Sand Nomads are a group of human Outlaws, living a restless life on Leir III. Ignored by the UEE and the Outsiders, they forming small wandering groups, endangered by the Valakkar and the raging sandstorms of the planet.

Appearance
Sand Nomads wear a tight linen-like cloth skirt and trousers in combination with a armored suit to protect their body. They also wear a hood – similar to a tallit or a berber cheich. But instead of a veil (typical for the chich) to protect their eyes, mouth and nose from sand grains, they use a special mask which covers mouth and face. In the demo they speak also a cryptic high-pitched language.

Leir III is the third planet in the Leir System which is a rocky orb teeming with resources. Early scans detected an abundance of graphite and crystals, encouraging many miners to risk landing on the planet despite the deadly storms that plague the surface.

Today, the planet has no permanent settlements since the large indigenous sandworms, known as Valakkar, seem to have a predilection towards destroying them. Some brave miners and outlaws do live in temporary encampments around the planet, but most embrace a nomadic existence and move regularly to stay ahead of the storms and worms.¹
