nerf herder 

A lower class outdoorsman who spends his days safeguarding the nerfs on various planets across the universe.

They can best be compared to the American cowboy or shepherds of old in their steadfast pursuit of an independent lifestyle. They generally wear old, worn out work clothes and carry simple projectile weapons as well as staves they use to drive obstinate nerfs out of their hiding places. Due to their significant skills in fieldcraft and gunplay, as well as not having the resources to bathe and change their clothes often, the rest of the "civilized" universe looks down upon them.
"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!"
