Homeworld lore: The origins of the Kushan 

To this day, decades later, I still remember the opening to the original Homeworld. The way the narrator said, "HIgara" with so much meaning. I will never forget the moment when the ship first encounters the raiders- the scene of these alien ships darting towards the fleet while that AMAZING music plays in the background. Homeworld is a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay.

"There is nothing left for us here.... Let's go" That mission, with the music and story, was so sad and soul wrenching. 😢

The original Homeworld was and still is one of my favourite games of all time, C&C in 3 dimensions with stunning backdrops and great ships with an easy to learn interface. Have both the original and remastered versions of 1 and 2, simply brilliant gameplay and story telling.

I never knew such sad yet amazing story even existed. Dang this is amazing

Just nitpicking here, but Karen S'jet was the last one to leave the ship after HW1, she wasn't stuck being "unbound" as the Bentusi were. Also, the terms of "bound" meant that one wasn't integrated with the ship, while "unbound" meant you were integrated with the ship, as the Bentusi were.

I loved Homeworld. I miss it and am seriously surprised that the game didn’t get more attention and especially that we haven’t seen many more homeworld games. I really hope we start seeing more homeworld games and soon.

love me some Homeworld lore! An absolutely fantastically rich universe. Will never forget the first return to Kharrak, first game to even have me cry and really drove me into videogame design.

Your upload is like Siege Cannon that we used against Beast. Imho Homeworld universe have a lot of to offer with its lore, it's not that huge like Elite, but has some kind of magic and misticism. Sajuuk with you, Mattius.

Minor editting note: "They hardwired her body into this mothership and she would not know what it was to be unbound for the rest of her life." I'm not sure if you mean "unbound" in terms of being hard-wired or (more signifcantly) in terms of how the Bentusi use the term "unbound." It was my impression you had meant the latter. In which case, she became "unbound" as the Bentusi say from the moment she was hardwired into the mothership. She would live the majority of the rest of her life as a part of the mothership and it's later refit. The only recorded breaks in this life for her were when the core was attacked just before the final mission of HW1 and after the rest of the crew disembarked from the mothership at the end of HW1 as she had insisted on being the last crew to leave and step foot on Hiigara.

The Homeworld series mastered the setting and atmosphere of spacefaring. When you hear it in Battle Star Galactica, you immediately know where it came from.

OH sweet HOMEWORLD !!! HEY mattius thanks for taking my suggestion for other lore games o7

Homeworld was awesome. I hope 3 is still in production

It should be noted that Kiith S'jet is not the largest clan in Kharak. That one would probably be Kiith Naabal (since they also own the capital city of Tiir)

If anything, My junior-high childhood of this game will always makes me cry the moment I hear that elusive _'Adagio for Strings'_ played in every media.

Ground control and ground control 2 were awesome old games

I remember reading the Homeworld manual over and over on a roadtrip as a kid. Memories😊.

If Hiigara means home, does that mean Hiigarans are called homers? D'oh

thanks for this, missed the game 23years ago. now have the remastered and getting hooked.. on mission 5 and ordered hw3 collectors. now hunting lore from any sources... subbed. hope your still going

All alone in the night…. Love the B5 reference.

Ooo nice someone sent me from r/homeworld and I'm looking forward to more lore!

This was awesome man. Great job!

Homeworld = Battlestar Galactica without the Cylons...

Great video man! Keep it up!!

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. Homeworld 2 "regarded as the best of the franchise"? That's utter heresy.

beautifully done and one of my favorite stories and games

A board game based on the saga's first installment, Homeworld Fleet Command, has launched on kickstarter this month.

Neat. I love lore videos lol. I know you mentioned you'd be doing this to fill the gap left by Fdev sleeping on good ideas and I like it. Another thing I'd love to see you cover lore on: The Outer Worlds. It's a pretty nuts game. Sure the planets are small relative to other games, but the lore is there and takes so long to ingest in a go so a video series on it would be amazing. I mean sure Oxhorn kinda did it, but your style would be nice, and dare I say, better.

wow, homeworld 👍superb. time to revisit them until elite is being fixed

Too bad they killed elite to make another call of duty in space. It had so much potential. Thanks for pointing out some new games

Awesome!!

10:50 I actually think Homeworld community liked Cataclysm more than HW2, it was improvement of original in every single conceivable way, Sadly, not many people nowadays played it due to legal problems and lost code preventing it from being part of Remaster, and poor marketing wasn't doing it any favors in it's day. Very worthwhile to play as it was rebranded to Emergence on GOG.

What are you going to do now that Homeworld 3 is coming out in a few months?

Oh my. Homeworld?? My favourite videogame saga?? Really?? The best surprise ever hahahaha

Was a scene that few Kushan could fully contemplate HW Remastered: *Broken camera just aims into empty space and ruins it all*

makes you wonder if Humanity was similar with the kushan, perhaps we came from another planet

Goos stuff man. Reminds me of dune

Again notified 2 hours late.. Darn.

Second one here I guess. This Homeworld sounds interesting, I think I might look into it further. The gameplay shown reminds me a lityle bit of Space Engineers, which is what keep coming up everytime I look up Space Engine. 😂 There's something I've been wondering about Elite. Do you think The Club have arranged for The Pilot's Federation to add the Elite I - V in order to seperate the regular elite pilots from the best of the best so The Club can monitor them easier? 🤔

Great video. Though I had hope that maybe it would have told the story is of these people could go from galactic power to go getting everything. They were no more than mere cavemen at some point - kinda ridiculous.

Homeworld is awesome, after all.

Since I first played the game I've wondered if we could do something like this, if we had to. As in world destroying, extinction level event is imminent. People work miracles under those kinds of pressures. I bet the physics community would quit bickering and figure some things out real quick and that would hopefully include a way to transport a lot of people to another habitable planet

YEES u discovered Homeworld!

Nice I have the remaster of this I should play it

"Meanwhile somtaw mining crew worked atound the clock"

time for a netflix series 🙏🏽

Wait, if Hiigara means Home is it right to say the Hiigarans are just calling their race “Homies”

Remarkable watch o7

woot homeworld :)

10:40 cataclysm is regarded the best. HW 2s ruin of the fighter controls was not very liked by most people

What can you tell me about the Ferin Sha?….

What’s this about Hardspace: Shipbreaker being part of the lore of Homeworld?

Just in time for my break! Dang, I'm the 1st one here?

I heard the lore was inspired by ancient Sumarian lore.

I think Elon Musk needs to watch and comment on this.

Half way through the vid I realize this has nothing to do with elite kek

Tackar.

fictional universe? the homeworld franchise takes place in the whirlpool galaxy wich is a real place. granted it takes place more than a million years into the future but its canonicaly our universe.

just got here after hearing how they arrived on this planet in the first place ... crazy

I hated Homeworld 2 because of all the retconning and "Space magic"

How is Homeworld 2 the considered the best?

Humanity never originated on Earth either. Earth isn't our cradle. Our cradle rests blasted to pieces somewhere in the constellation Lyra. Hundreds of thousands of years ago there was a war raging across multiple regions of space, with numerous factions involved. Humanity was one of them, or at least our ancestors. The word human, or at least how we've come to define ourselves belongs only to Earth. We are called something entirely different out there... Anyway, fast forward, OUR PEOPLE were split up. Some went one way, others another. How? Can't tell you for sure sure. But we were an interstellar society, meaning that some of us split from the conflict zone to other uncharted areas, like refugees. Unfortunately the powers we fought against won and we were decimated along with our planet and various other colonies under our belt. Not to mention celestial allies as well. Thankfully, and this is where the story gets confusing, either another race stepped in to offer us another chance as we were on the verge of extinction, or we were enslaved and brought here on Earth to dwell. History channel won't ever mention this, but Earth was actually a planet manufactured for specific purposes, that is, as prisons are for the inmates living within their walls... Why do you think we never went back to the Moon? The moon itself is older than the Earth, and acts as an active watchtower over us. We aren't allowed to venture out... just yet. There are obvious consequences if we do. We, even in our past were known to be warmongers, but on an entirely different spectrum than we are accustomed to seeing now on TV. For lack of better words, we screwed up royally, and paid a penalty. In doing so, we were slapped back to the stone age to reincarnate as a society to hopefully one day reach that same level as we did in our past, but without the attitude, which sadly is seen everywhere you turn the channel to on your TV or web-page. If you're still reading this, here's where I'm going with this. The truth shall set you free, right? It's obvious that for many what I just said is hard to swallow, which is why politics and religion are so closely tied the way they are, to "govern" or oversee as a watchtower over the prison population. Limiting us in our quest for truth and the reality of the story of what happened to us. Instead feeding us "logical" tales to believe in, which we have come to, when the story that does ultimately end up sounding like made up fiction is the one closely associated with the truth of who and what we are. Thankfully, more people are beginning to awaken to the truth. Eventually it shall set us free. Some of our long lost brethren are starting to show up and pay us visits from OUT THERE. They desperately wish to reunite, but with an evolved society, spiritually speaking, not religiously governed. Instead of looking into your phones, at a downward angle or "regressive" angle, take 10 minutes out of your day, step out into the open night and look upward "progressive angle" at the sky, and just shut off your problems for a few minutes. They will still be there when you get back. Trust me, you will see things up there that will amaze you, happening right before your eyes, and before you'll know it, your problems here won't seem like problems at all. You'll begin to see a spiritual shift, and sense something more than "human" begin to take place within you. How much more evident is it that they are using technology to shackle you right in front of the truth so you can't see it, so you can deny it? How do I know this? Trust me, I do. Just as many are willing to believe in logical fairy tales and live their lives in accordance to the wishes of those who wish to bestow their empowerment over your life, begin to believe the actual stories that have them laughing in your face and you shall set yourself free. Soon enough, they will come to be known as truth, and the so called truth they feed us now will be forgotten in mere seconds. I wish I could reveal more, but I cannot. Too much at stake. Just know that the story of OUR PEOPLE is very similar to the fate of the fictitious factions in this game. Remember folks, begin LOOKING UP, and Progress!

Homeworld 2 had the best gameplay but it also had the worst story. Not necessarily bad but not as good.

HW2 sucked.
