 Kharak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kharak is a fictional planet from the Homeworld Universe.
It is assumed that there were no survivors beyond the crews of the Kushan Mothership and approximately 600,000 cryogenically frozen colonists in orbit (whom the player has to rescue from the remnants of the Taiidan fleet).
However the possibility of survivors on Kharak is often a theme in Homeworld fan fiction.

Kharak's surface consisted mostly of sand that sprawled for thousands of miles of desert, deserts so hot that no one had ever explored them -- but that was about to change.
In 1106 the Kharakid's launched a small satellite that was able to locate a massive object buried in the sand, an object that would forever change the people, their history, and their future forever.
The uncharted veins of space hold the answers to the mysteries of Kharak and her people, and while uncovering them will bring forth past's truths, a galactic war unlike any other on the digital screen will be the result.

 Hiigaran Space Fleet :: Protectors of Peace
Perhaps it was the sense that history had passed them by, or simply a desire to commit an act of sacrafice strong enough to regain the favoe of Sajuuk Himself, but in the year 717, the kiith-sa of the Gaalisien performed an act that has lived in infamy ever since.
Thus, all of the able-bodied population of Hiigara were exiled to the desert world of Kharak, only the smallest of victories held within their grasp.
The pods are then stored in holding areas deep under the surface of Kharak until 100 of them are ready to be placed on a rack module and boosted into space together aboard the heavy lifter units.

 History
In their haste to depart Kharak and set out on their quest to reach Hiigara and reclaim their birthright, the Kushan were still ignorant of their past until they met the Bentusi, and later the Kadeshi in the Garden (Nebula) of Kadesh, many months after leaving their place of exile on the rim.
The ever fearful religious and conservative elements of the Kushan people urged that all outside contact should cease and the very idea of it should be wiped from the memories of the Kushan in order that they might survive and avoid the wrath of enemies of the Hiigarans.
Unfortunately for the Kushan, owing to the remote location of the star cluster, it was some time before a Snow Raven probe discovered the remains of Kharak and, importantly, the remains of the scaffold with which the Kushan had constructed their Mother ship.

After the departure of the Mothership, Kharak is attacked by the Taiidan, a large interstellar empire which now controlled Hiigara and viciously opposes the Kushan attempt to reclaim their homeworld.
The remaining surface population of Kharak, several million souls, are annihilated by atmosphere-incineration weapons.

 Baba Kharak Singh (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

On the year that their most famous leader, Majiir Paktu, was born, the long rift between the religious leaders of Kiith Siid and Kiith Gaalsi, which were then the most powerful kiithid of the north, finally became an unbridgeable divide.
The truth, according the proclamation of 462, was that only the Siidim were of divine origin—and that all other kiithid were native to Kharak, and therefore inferior, their blood tainted by corrupting sand.
Hundreds of families were displaced by Siidim temple men, turned out of their ancestral homes and made to march downstream, carrying as much of their former lives with them as they could.
