Hiigaran Empire | Homeworld

Published 2024-05-17
Once the word "Hiigara" was nothing more than an ancient word scrawled on a single stone. In the modern galaxy, it is synonymous with Empire.

    The bear does not want salmon he wants Sajuuk! Bring Sajuuk to bear! Bring Sajuuk to bear! Bring Sajuuk to bear!

    "A single word, older than the clans themselves. Hiigara. Our home."

    I always imagine Kith Somtaaw, as the Dwarves from Deep Rock Galactic. Pluckiest bunch of Space-miners and Engineers you ever met, beating all the odds and digging their way out of incalculable horrors, through ingenuity and bravery.
  • @LordInsane100
    Honestly, I wish we could get something from the perspective of the Taiidan Republic. They deserve a day in the sun after being pretty much forgotten in HW2 and HW3.
  • @weldonwin
    Just a reminder that the "Ancient Slight" that Taaidanii wanted revenge on the Hiigarans for, was the Hiigarans GLASSING the Taaidanii homeworld

    Babe, wake up. Templin Institute just posted.

    I could hear a three hour documentary about the lore of homeworld 3 with this narration . U made me travel man . Beautiful work
  • You would think the Hiigarans wouldn't use the Empire title for their nation. Considering their history. They were an empire when they decided to flaunt their power and almost wipe out the Taidan before they were exiled. Their adopted homeworld and the vast majority of their people were wiped out by an empire. Empire would have left a bad taste in their mouths by now.
  • S'Jet and Somtaaw will always be the Higara's finest. Cant wait for Taiidan video though.
  • @Trubripes
    Thanks for the explanation. I have always speculated most modern Hiigaran are ethnically Taiidan and probably bilingual. This vid basically confirms it.

    Hiigaran: We are a good empire this time we swear!
  • @anonviewerciv
    Is Hiigara supposed to be some kind of alternate universe Earth? 🌍 5:55 Homeworld is one of the few media franchises that truly does appreciate scientists, technicians, scholars, and other people of learning. 🧑‍🔬
  • @ImperatorZor
    The Mothership carried at most 600,000 people to Hiigara 300 years ago. Assuming a population growth rate of 2.5%, this means that the population of the Hiigaran Empire would be 989,260,954. As such, unless they accept a lot of immigration or have aggressive exowomb programs in place they have a total population slightly smaller than the combined populations of the EU, US, Japan, UK and Canada, or the total global population of 1800.

    Can you make a simulation where the Mothership of the Homeworld game series end in Star Wars during the Empire? 😍
