Story rough draft.

HW: SoT Takes place 150 years after HW:2. Hiigaran governement has become full of corruption and greed. They open the experimental station near the Eye of Aran. They enter the eye, and emerge in a distant galaxy. (Antioch). Fragments of a great civilization are found everywhere, great ruins that dwarf Tanis lie in every direction. The hiigaran Government kept this all a secret from its people. 50 years after they entered the Eye  and the "Antioch" galaxy, a destress signal is found deep within the "steps of Titan". The message is from the Ancients. Soon afterwards, the Hiigaran homegalaxy is attacked.

Hiigara signs a piece treaty with the Vaygr, and the Taiidan. Giving them the time to mount joint forces, to fend of the new enemy. Sadly its too late. Hiigara, and all its colonies are destroyed.
The new Unified fleet jumps to "Trinity towers" the place where the 3factions signed the piece treaty. From there, the Hiigarans, notify the fleet of new co-ordinates. They arrive at "Desura" a artificial hyperspace gate, rivaling the size of "The eye of Aran". The new gate was built by the Hiigaran's during the 150 year cold war. Its pourpose was to conect the Hiigaran home glaxy to others in search of other galaxies to colonise.

Upon Arriving to "Antioch" the Vaygr try to overtake power, small battle within the fleet ensues. Minor losses are taken, but the vaygr give up. Constant relations and negaotions take place on which actions to take next occour between the three newly joint races.

They travel far into the outskirts of "Antioch". What they find, is beyond anything they have ever seen before. The ancients never used mining technology, so large rings of minerals and ore orbit nearly every star system. An infinite suply of re-sources.

The "Concept race" believes they have managed to destroy them all. Believing so, they return to "Umayyad" their home galaxy. This gives the Hiigarans to re-build their civilization. They do so, all meanwhile negotiating piece treaties, and trying to keep everybody satisfied.

On a mining expedition by the Kun-Laan ascendant near the "Anor" mealith, they detect a ship. It Karan S'Jet. The ship is in pieces, beyond repair. All hope seems to be gone.

----------------------------------------
--Idea for the story line is percieved from "Pandoras Box" The hiigarns opened it, and now they must unify to destroy it."The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

--I will try to use as much concept art from Relic as I can. Inevitably I will run out soon. However, I have concept sketches done by me, which stick to the homeworld2 feel. Quit likely these will be the designs for the new race. If you wish to throw an idea my way, dont hesitate.

--The new race, which had destroyed the ancients, and now destroyed Hiigara and all its colonies, is a very fanatic race. They believe they are gods gift, and need to eradicate the universe of all others. They have very limited contact out side of their race. Right now its a posibility to name them "Necromongers" However, that is debatable.

For any questions/suggestions please feel free to post or just ask me in private.
We are also always looking for more members to help undare take this task. We are in need of a .hodder, and a scripter. Concept artists are also always welcome.

However, I should point out, that Kidbashed ships, and ships which dont fit into the HW universe will not be considered. A secodn story writer would be nice. Its always good to have input from more people.

Thank you for your time.
