RTD Homeworld (Waiting on bowdown2q and Nimitz)
« on: November 12, 2010, 10:48:17 am »

Hiigara, home.

It's been just over a year since the Kushan went from their exiled planet of Kharak, being chased by both pirates and the Taiidan but finally the mother ship pulled into low orbit around Hiigara and transports set down on the planets surface.

From the sleepers set in the cryo trays that were saved from Kharak were Kiith Teiba, a once powerful clan on Kharak when members went into cryo but they emerged in a new world were they did not have the power they had once enjoyed.

Kiith Teiba had been at the cutting edge of space travelling and surveying technologies having scientists in the team that developed the mother ships engines and sensors but on the great journey to Hiigara, both had been upgraded numerous times making the Kiiths once proud standing only slight. Luckily the important family members had thought ahead, freezing key family members with experimental technology that allowed the Kiith to gain some gain in the new homeworld.

Since then most of the Kiith have mostly left Hiigara and followed the steps of all the other 'Cryo Kiith', finding their fortune in the stars with surveying and mapping systems surrounding Hiigara. Some have stayed on Hiigara, important or retired family members who involve themselves in the politics of the Kiith system but most are in space, whether it is in one of the orbiting spacestations or in one of the many fleets that strike out into the unknown.

Sorry for long delay all.

I'm going to be starting this proper tomorrow because I want to ask some things from you guys.

About story, I'm not to sure, I have three ideas currently: 1) Follow the main story following the Homeworld games 1 & 2, getting a crewmens perspective of the whole story. 2) Playing the story from Cataclysm either from Kiith Somtaaw's (I think thats how it's spelt?) perspective or another Kiith I make up. 3) Homeworld Universe but I mix it up as little and hold it at a different periode of time from the games, either before the exile from Hiigara or after the final battle of Hiigara from the Taiidan against, well I don't know, a second third uprising?

Any other ideas I will also consider alongside these but it is up to you guys and gals mostly.

I dunno, don't feel too attached with telling the story as it was written, we are certain to seriously mess things up somehow.

A non-canon storyline would probably be the way to go.

I was thinking that as well, I'll give this some thought but I will still keep an eye out for any one else's suggestions as I'm typing bits up.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a very good idea to play in the canon story. Using an original scenario will allow us to play without worry of fucking up canon. :P

Of course, I've yet to actualy set up entry but I'm working on making up a story line based around a seperate kiith.

Actually, lets have some ideas of what the name of the kiith should be! Seriouse answers only not sillynuts or anything.

Cool thanks for the ideas, I'm currently using Encyclopedia Homeworld as a cross reference.

I'll have the begining bit up today and hopefully get through a few turns as well but I'm one of the people that can't stop writing so it's going to be a TAD bit text heavy XP
