Homeworld: Synopsis
This cruel slaughter appalled dissidents throughout the empire, and the
mothership's heartening retaliation and escape catalyzed a long-overdue
rebellion. Amid wholesale civil war, and with the help of the highly advanced
trader race known as the Bentusi, the Exiles regained their homeworld, and the
emperor and his pirate mercenaries were defeated.
Shortly after their relocation to the harsh desert world of Kharak, the Exiles
forgot both their origins and technology. It took them 3,000 years to struggle
back to the stars. Having rediscovered hyperspace and the location of their
original planet, all the families of Kharak, or kiith, united to build a mothership
that could take them home. Just as they prepared to embark, however, the
brutal Taiidan Empire took notice and attacked. Enforcing an ancient decree
forbidding the Exiles from developing hyperspace technology, the emperor had
his forces immolate the planet. Only those already in space survived.
