 These sand-boats are the common means of transportation for the scavenger race known as the Nohbakim. Given the scarcity of wood to be found in the desert, and means of making cloth, the sails are typically made of patched- together hides, while the structure is made of a mish-mash collection of scavenged materials, including bones of large desert creatures. Smaller versions of the triremes are known as "Kooshkie Sleds", relying on propulsion by teams of Kooshkies instead of sails.
