theaznfish is right, the ancient Higarian empire werent such a nice group of people they burned and killed enitre populations and worlds. But Homeworld Lore states that it is unclear who started the war, as both sides were bribing the galactic council over a fued of territory, but i do believe Higarians took the first agressive initative.

The Hiigaran and Taiidan always had conflict, but when the Hiigarans discovered the second hyperspace core they were the first to attack as they built Sajuuk's Wriath, hyperspaced past all heavily fortified Taiidan borders and struck their homeworlds with overwhelming force.

Remember what the Bentusi said in Homeworld 2

"...the second core came to your ancestors. In their blindness, they became as the Vaygr are now and a great war consumed them also."

Homeworld... I can't get this game out of my mind. This game is really legendary, and the story... the story man! EPIC! I get goosebumps everytime I play this game.

If you haven't tried it, you should. This game is really, really one of the best storyline-games ever. Atmospheric music and so on. I simply love this game.

2:15, I think that was the beginning of the Kadeshi race.

[CalamityJonesack]

This game feels epic in a way very few games have every managed to equal... You feel personally responsible for every single soul that you carry across the galaxy, protecting them, taking them back to their home... You spit with a genuine loathing at those who try to stop and murder you, feel a real desperation and concern. This is brilliance which is seldom seen. I don't know how to render it in any formula, but they got it right; we're all crying out for the story to continue.

Now noticing the hundreds of heavy cruisers at 3:24. O__0

[kalasbra77]

@kevinherbert Yeah it must be, i also thought of that the second time i played the game. So typical homeworld, very few words to desrcibe and sometimes no words at all just music and scenes to let yourself judge what might happen or have.

@CaptainEirikr

The hiigaran people had already been removed from their homeworld before they found the second core. As I understand it, the Hiigarans held a vast empire in the galactic core. Such a vast empire could only be taken down by another vast empire, which means it was either a territorial fued that had lasted for a long time, or the taiidan came out of nowhere and crushed the hiigaran.

[deathtax10]

@ertyqwer yeah i was surprised how easy it was to capture them! I was able to get...10? Idk but it was somewhere close to 10. Yeah those things are pretty close to pricless in the game.

[DLuniz]

the taiidani has control of some space, and enough of a military to annoy the Hiigarans

thats why they jumped to help the Vaykr

[Ascensiam]

Considering the intro in Cataclysm, and the fall of the Emperor, i am pretty certain they have replaced the Imperials.

[LordMunchkin]

yeah the hiigara kinda got what was coming with the vaygar.... they knew the threat was increasing but left their allies and the rest of the galaxy to fend for themselves..... I wonder what happened to the taiidani republic?

[peepsbates]

yeah that black colouring was a badass glitch but its a shame it dissapeared after like 2 or 3 missions

[ertyqwer]

yea, i like to do that as well :) tried to salvage every unique ship in the game, took me awhile to realize that Turanic raiders' carrier and strike craft aren't salvageable.

normally i wouldn't use the swarmers in combat, but nothing else could survive the trip to the relay and dock, so i sent a couple, otherwise i'd have to send the whole fleet.

i also like how they got black coloring on that mission for some reason :)

and multibeam frigates were just too good to not use in combat :p
