Full title of this thread: Surprising Little Known Facts of the Homeworld Universe
I wanted to start this thread as a compilation of... well, what the title says.

My most recent discovery: Kiith Kaalel
Homeworld.wikia.com
It seems that Kiith Nabaal may not have been all the brains behind the first Mothership. I seriously had no idea that this Kiith existed. They are like a combination of the warrior Soban, and the scientific Sjet. I'm definitely thinking about making a badge for these guys, but I'm having trouble deciding the basic shapes of it.

Kaalel's Kiith-Sa, Liir Kaalel'sa has more backstory than I would have guessed too: Homeworld.wikia.com'sa

There are other Kiiths that people should know better, but do not:
Kiith Siidim and Glaalsien- Who started the Heresy Wars, one of the largest wars in Kharak history Homeworld.wikia.com)
Kiith LiirHra. There were two, actually, and both played an important role: one saved the Kushan from utter destruction by the Taiidani by convincing the Galactic Council to intervene... resulting in the Kushan Exile, and the other was one of the six most numerous Kiith onboard the first Mothership... probably because they were primarily the Kiith that BUILT the shipyard and mothership. The second Kiith LiirHra broke off from Kiith Hraal: Homeworld.wikia.com

Have you ever heard of Kiith Magann? Homeworld.wikia.com Well, yes you have, if you read the HW1 manual, or the part about the first cryogenic test.

Tiir, the capitol city of Kharak before it was demolished by the Taiidan. I had forgotten that there were any named cities of Kharak: Homeworld.wikia.com

There was also the city Saju-Ka, deathplace of thousands: Homeworld.wikia.com

As based on the HW universe timeline, the oldest known ship in the galaxy is the Ghost Ship. It outdated the Naggorak entering the galaxy ten times, the destruction of the Progenitor Mothership by over 150 times, and the Bentusi's discovery of the Hyperspace Farjump Drive by 250 times. That ship is OLD, OLD, OLD. The only older objects known in the Homeworld Universe would be the stellar objects themselves - the stars, planets, and asteroid fields. Those are measured in the billions of years, where the Ghost Ship is measured in millions: Homeworld.wikia.com




More and more, I think that books/movies/games about Kharak (Kharak alone, forgetting the progenitors, bentusi, pre-exile Kushan, and the events of the games) would be fascinating, and there's plenty of depth for there to be dozens of books, or a good trilogy of movies.


So, any surprising, or little know parts of the Homeworld Universe that any of you guys want to share? Try and keep it Cannon, though.
