Kushan (Homeworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Kushan was a powerful empire divided into extended families called kiithid, centered on the planet of Hiigara before they fell from grace in a war and were exiled from their world on pain of death. After returning to their homeworld and destroying the Taiidan Empire, the Kushan lived out their life and recovered from the war, fighting other fights as explained in Homeworld: Cataclysm. The real-life origin of this invented word may be related to the Islamic word Hegira, referring to the Prophet Muhammed's historic flight from Mecca to Medina. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Kushan   (343 words)

Homeworld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Homeworld is also full of symbology, with specific symbols for the Kiith in the game as well as the symbol of the Kushan, which is their ancient homeworld and two eagle's wings. A sequel, Homeworld 2, was released in late 2003. Homeworld was given high marks by most of the gaming community, and earned numerous awards, including IGN's game of the year award for 1999. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Homeworld   (1979 words)

Kushan Empire: development empire kushan technological Several direct depictions of Kushans are known from Gandhara, where they are represented with a tunic, belt and trousers and play the role of devotees to the Buddha, as well as the Bodhisattva and future Buddha Maitreya. The Kushans are again recorded to have sent presents to the Chinese court in 158–159 CE during the reign of the Chinese emperor Han Huan. These remnants of the Kushan empire were ultimately wiped out in the 5th century by the invasions of the White Huns, and later the expansion of Islam. wikipedia.openfun.org /wiki/Kushan_Empire   (2311 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Homeworld The revelation that the Kushan genetic makeup was highly unlike any other life-form on the planet, and the eventual discovery of a huge alien ship, the Khar-Toba (First City) in an extremely remote section of desert, would lend final proof to this "XenoGenesis Theory". Over remaining levels of the game, the Kushan encounter other alien races, including the benevolent group of traders known as the Bentusi (The Unbound), and the hostile, fanatical and enigmatic Kadeshi, who seem to be a branch of the original Hiigarans that left the group during their exile. In the game, the Hiigarans (Kushan) must defend their newly recovered home from the Vaygr, a powerful nomadic raider race led by a man named Makaan, who managed to rally his normally warring race after recovering the second of the three hyperspace cores (quantum waveform generators) in a remote region of the galaxy. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Homeworld   (1547 words)

Wikinfo | Homeworld The Kushan (otherwise known as the Hiigarans) eventually managed to unite all but the most extreme clans towards the goal of reaching their previous homeworld and discovering the reasons behind their exile. With the exception of a song by the rock group "Yes" entitled "Homeworld", most of the music in the game is ambient, matching the loney but beautiful enviorment of deep space.

Homeworld - Encyclopedia Hiigara   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) The ancient Kushan have left their homeworld as exiles and have settled on the desert world Kharak, where over time they would reconstruct their civilization from the ground up, their heritage dwindling into myth and legend. From the needleship emerge swarms of swarming fighters, all of whom descend upon the Kushan in a frenzy of attack. Unfortunately for the Kushan a jump is not possible as the Kadeshi mothership is able to project an inhibition field, preventing the Mothership from forming and maintaining a quantum wavefront. homeworld.wikicities.com /wiki/Homeworld   (4032 words)

Homeworld series from Shortopedia In the game Homeworld, the Kushan people are a race of survivors sent into exile thousands of light-years from their homeworld, the planet Hiigara. In the Homeworld universe the "Porter"-class Salvager serves as a corvette whose purpose is to capture enemy vessels.

Sharky Games - '+$ArtG+' - '+$ArtC+' - '+$ArtN+' The saga of the orphaned Kushan people's journey to their new home on the planet Hiigara captured the imaginations of real-time strategy gamers and those few Battlestar Galactica fanatics who didn't get enough of a ragtag fleet on the Sci-Fi channel. Homeworld: Cataclysm takes place 15 years after the Kushan migration from Kharak to Hiigara. During that time, the Kushan have settled in to their new surroundings and begun addressing the new challenges of defending a planet, not fighting to claim it. www.sharkygames.com /games/reviews/h/homeworld_cataclysm   (358 words)

Homeworld: Cataclysm for PC Review - PC Homeworld: Cataclysm Review Homeworld: Cataclysm eschews the setting of the original game and offers a new 17-mission campaign, a new faction that has a lineup of unique ships, and a completely new villain to fight. While in space, you answer a distress call from a fellow Kushan vessel under attack by remnants of the Taidan empire, and you are thrust into a role that takes you from being just an innocent mining clan to being the saviors of the galaxy. Homeworld is both an excellent game and one that may well reshape the entire real-time strategy genre. www.gamespot.com /pc/strategy/homeworldcataclysm/review.html   (953 words)

Strategy Planet - Preview - Homeworld The Kushan race is entering an age of enlightenment. Hyperdrive technology is a complex science though, and the best the Kushans can do is 2500 light years at a time, after which they must stop and charge up the drive again. Either the hapless Kushans, which we learn to love in the single player campaign, or the ruthless Taiidans, which are, well, mean. www.strategyplanet.com /content/previews/homeworld   (1575 words)

Action Vault - Homeworld 2 Wrap Report It picks up some time after the original as Hiigara, the Homeworld, is threatened by a new warlord backed by a prophecy that foretells the coming of the 'unmaker.' The player controls the Higaran fleet as it seeks to find a way to defeat the enemy and save the Homeworld from destruction. Homeworld 2 is an epic story of the Hiigaran fleet, controlled in full 3D by the player.

GameSpy.com - Reviews: Homeworld: Cataclysm The climactic battle in which your race reclaimed its homeworld, Hiigara, from the clutches of the Taiidani Empire would turn out to be only the beginning of a new era in Kushan history. First, that they had successfully completed the quest to retake their planet of origin, and second, that all of the friends and family that they had left behind were slain by the Taiidan. In the fifteen years since the Kushans made planetfall on Hiigara, there have been several attacks by renegade Taiidan attempting to reclaim the world for themselves. archive.gamespy.com /reviews/september00/cataclysm   (562 words)

IGN: Homeworld Review Homeworld changes the rules completely by having each mission built upon a segment of the story. Homeworld never reveals the humans which reside in the myriad of ships you control, and rarely refers to individual characters, which makes the voice acting that much more crucial to connecting with the gameplay. Homeworld's soundtrack and voice-acting are astounding in the way that they can pull incredible emotions out of a character-less game. pc.ign.com /articles/153/153786p1.html   (2867 words)

Relic Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Homeworld was first announced to the public around August 1998.

RTSC Homeworld Overview Homeworld, developed by Relic Entertainment, and published by Sierra Studios in 1999, is one of the first true three dimensional Real Time Strategy games out. Homeworld takes full advantage of a good 3D graphics card, although it looks pretty lo-res compared to what's doing the rounds these days, especially its graphically intense sequel. Homeworld boasts a relatively small and civilised gaming community, but an enthusiastic one nonetheless, judging by the number of custom mods that have appeared. www.rakrent.com /rtsc/html/hw.htm   (1508 words)

AVault | PC | Homeworld: Cataclysm Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) This theme is continued in the real-time strategy offering Homeworld: Cataclysm, the next chapter in the Homeworld saga, as we are once again reminded why no good will come of investigating a derelict alien device. Homeworld: Cataclysm takes place several years after the conclusion of its predecessor, in which the Kushan race reclaimed its ancient homeworld of Hiigara and defeated the Taiidan Empire, but at a great cost. The Kushan colonists, awakened from cryogenic hibernation, found themselves on a strange new world, with no family, friends, or political power. www.avault.com /reviews/review_temp.asp?game=hwcat   (495 words)

Relic Forums - Taiidan vs. Kushan Kushan, Because I finished the game with them first so now I have this deeply implanted hatred for the taijdan. Hmm, I completed the campaign as Kushan, but I have no real aversion to the Taiidani design, except for the fact that most of their ships look like fish, whereas Kushan ships are modular, industrial, efficient (except for those darn vulnerable, but cool-looking antennae). Both kushan and taiidan Multi-Gun corvettes have multiple uniting tracking ablity, otherwise the kushan mutli gun would be useless to its name. forums.relicnews.com /showthread.php?t=2161   (509 words)

Relic Forums - Kushan turning evil ? suggestion ... I think it might be intresting to have them turning evil at some point in homeworld 2, that would make the plot SO original. Well, the only way I could see the kushan being "evil" in the homeworld universe is if they desided to take out the Tiidan. The Kushan were originally in control, then the Taiidan took over, in that war we all hear about so often (Especially when prequels are mentioned) in a rebelion cause the kushan were corrupt. forums.relicnews.com /showthread.php?t=9343   (272 words)

Homeworld for Windows - MobyGames The people, Kushan, are NOT native to Kharak at all. The discovery of the Guidestone is the ultimate proof that Kushan had came from another solar system, far away... Homeworld is a revolutionary 3D strategy game where you control a mothership and a fleet as you harvest resources, conduct research, and build up your fleet that can vary from small, fast, and nimble scouts to lumbering heavy cruisers. www.mobygames.com /game/windows/homeworld   (342 words)

Homeworld Art So, I have added a category for the Bentusi, although the number of shots in that category may be slim and I have updated the whole site accordingly. Added a touched-up shot to the Kushan section as well as the first new shot to the Turanic Touched-Up section. I have just posted some of my beautiful "touched-up" shots in the Kushan and Taiidan sections (which I had to update to the new site design). homeworldart.250x.com /news.html   (1443 words)

Homeworld: Unification (campaign) Between the missions, Command tells you he decided to go towards the edge of the galaxy, which appears to be the origin point of the Kushan.

VG Cats Forum - .: HOMEWORLD - RP :. [Teen/Mature]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) What made it worse, is that there where three Tiadani Frigates still in the area, firing shot after shot at the cryotrays, the burning hatred of the Kushan pilots in their smaller, weaker fighters caused them too destroy one frigate entirly, the other two where captured - and their crews interigated by Fleet command. The Kushan people are left with no past, all that remains of their people and their heritage is now in the 500,000 people in the mothership, The Kushan people must now carve thier way through the stars, and claim their lost homeworld - before their enemys close in on them. The taidan version carrys twice the crew space of the Kushan version, as a result it can operate almost twice as long as the kushan version in the field. forum.vgcats.com /showthread.php?t=2723   (4620 words)

Relic Forums - Why not Kushan? Well, they we're named Kushan, and their planet was called Kharak... The races in Homeworld obviously aren't necessarily labeled by thier "race", but rather where they come from. The reason the Kushan changed into the Hiigarans instead of remaining separate is because Hiigara was an empty planet when they arrived; noone lived there. forums.relicnews.com /showthread.php?s=&threadid=14167   (915 words)
