Tatar

Tartars were a collection of nomadic Turkic peoples of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. While mostly Muslim, some tribes were Christian or Buddhist. With the expansion of Russia and later the Soviet Union, Tartars were mostly forced to give up their nomadic lifestyle and became farmers. However, the formation of the CoDominium and the establishment of the Bureau of Relocation led to the involuntary deportation of some tribes and clans to planets such as Haven. In the more primitive societies on such planets, Tartars reverted to their nomadic ways.
