Born of a dissatisfaction with Homeworld 2, the Homeworld:@ team is building upon the foundations of Homeworld and Homeworld:Cataclysm to create a faithful sequel in the Homeworld:2 engine, with new ships, storyline, and game mechanics.
Surprise! Tobari!

Description
Doci comes back to modding with finished textures for this striking little animated fighter.
Looks good.
Huiii lovely... Will you also make use of the known concept arts in one way or another for them? To my knowledge there were only 2 arts for them.
I suppose not as these fighters here appear to have their own unique style. Well then nice work.
Yeah, we pretty much went a whole new direction with them. Speaking for myself and not the team, I never found the relic concepts for them very interesting.
Meh, everybody likes the name and attaches it to a custom race of their creation.
That's true, but that doesn't make it a bad idea, I would like to think. The thing is, Tobari is indeed a name that people very familiar with Homeworld know, and we expect them to be out there somewhere. And while there are existing concept drawings for the Tobari that 'could' be used, they amount to a mere handful, and fewer when you consider that many of the concepts probably evolved over time into stock Hiigaran units... the similarities are remarkable. So, if you're going to be making a race anyway, why not bring life to a race people expect to see?
Does this mean the Tobari are now actually a force to be reckoned with?
