Deserts of Kharak Lore - Part 2

[@bravepart]

The Homeworld series deserves an Animated film series. Even though the players each have such unique playthroughs, the universe is so incredibly richly detailed and always so breathtaking how they illustrate the scale & mystery of things!

[@Dreamlands15]

A thousand times yes

[@sarbe6625]

id love to read a sci-fi book about the kith nabal and them intervening and stopping the heresy wars.

[@Dreamlands15]

Some Guy Oh man, that would be so damn good!

[@sarbe6625]

Dreamlands do you think copyright wise a fan made no money making book would be legal?

[@Dreamlands15]

Some Guy Im pretty sure it would be considered fan fiction, and it would be totally fine. Dont see why not.

[@connorpearson8849]

As a prelude to home world 3, a complete lore guide of the home world universe would be amazing!!!

[@mahj]

Thanks for all the effort you put into this. I thought I'd read pretty much anything there was to read online about the lore, but you obviously found some nuggets I didn't. Also, the additional closeup footage is very much appreciated. (The green fields of the shallows look so out of place though; for all the games' existence I've seen it render nothing but desert :)

[@Dreamlands15]

Glad you enjoyed it. A lot of the info in these videos comes from the Expedition Guide for DoK, which has a fair amount of lore that the other manuals dont have. The still shots are also from there. Yeah, The Shallows is a totally unique map, and I wanted something to differentiate the S'Jet section a bit more. That location is also right up in Coalition territory, so I wanted to use it for that reason also.

[@Razgriz_01]

With Black Bird Interactive finally finishing their Mars project with NASA, I hope they finally make a new Homeworld game or at least another game like Deserts of Kharak.

[@Dreamlands15]

You and me both

[@thesqartenprogram]

this comment aged very well indeed

[@mancamiatipoola]

I just love what you have done with the editing. It really feels like a profesional documentary. Thank you for bringing us this awesome piece of lore. GG!

[@Dreamlands15]

Dangerosu Thanks. These lore videos are by far my favorite.

[@Toagusful]

Bro these are amazing! Appreciate the effort you put into it and was exactly what I was looking for to understand the lore of this universe better

[@t4rv0r60]

hello from 2018. so in the campaign we know of 2 of the 5 sakala class carriers, one of them is the kapisi. is it known what happend to the other 3 carriers???

[@curvalleirvin3867]

They were destroyed at the start of the campaign, along with a few Coalition bases. Kapisi was saved because it was launched ahead of schedule

[@Cooldude-ko7ps]

CommandoDude Which kithid were to command the Fijiskire and Akalon?

[@Cooldude-ko7ps]

CommandoDude ok

[@maverikmiller6746]

That ending was great. Good work.

[@michelthater4361]

You again did a great job! The way you talk and the structuring combined with the imagery is very nice! Thank you for the effort!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks! I appreciate that :)

[@saswitz9857]

wow, where u was when the game been released. i searched for this over half of year before ( but video is cool, nice doing, m8

[@Dreamlands15]

Юрий Натадимский Thanks!:D

[@KlaxontheImpailr]

Homeworld lore reminds me of All Tomorrows, there's always such beauty and tragedy over such long stretches of time. Countless mysteries and unknowns to discover. It truly is alive in a sense.

[@xpgx1]

What a nice overview - thanks man, appreciate the effort! I know it's been a while since you posted this - but well done. I aaabsolutely enjoy these lore videos =) Reminds me of another KZbinr, MrRhexx, who made lore videos about Skyrim. Fascinating stuff, but he changed a lot. Alright - stay safe and again, thx. Vastly underrated games.

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks mate, appreciate that :)

[@worriedwombat5283]

Thanks man I appreciate the fact that someone is digging into Homeworld lore

[@Dreamlands15]

Glad you like it. These are by far my favorite videos to make, even tho they take a long time

[@KptLehmann100]

Nice work, Dreamlands! Thank you! :)

[@Dreamlands15]

So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching! :)

[@maxwell7470]

i just want to say the names make this hard to follow but buuuuuuut you do a great job telling it, sadlly idk if ill enjoy homeworld remastered and suscribe to you but reallt great job! really

[@keithmoh1]

Just finished DoK today and left with an empty feeling when I saw the credits roll. Thank you making these videos to slack my thirst for sequels.

[@Dreamlands15]

Hey, glad to be of service :)

[@Mechator_Rex]

Thanks for the explanation. Also: 2 part low series with 3 videos in the playlist. I am hungry for the third part now. :) This makes me want to set up a Genesys RPG around the setting... ...must... ...restrain... ...myself...

[@TheLordsweapon]

Well done, thank you!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks :)

[@odst1658]

Absolutely awesome

[@Dreamlands15]

Thank you! :D

[@miketacos9034]

SO COOL. This lore is ricch.

[@Dreamlands15]

Yeah Homeworld lore is fantastic

[@starlancer9740]

Once again amazing. Btw which is your favourite kith based on lore? Mine is Paktu.

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks! Its really hard to pick a favorite, but I would have to say Soban.

[@mahj]

I've got a soft spot for Somtaaw.

[@PolarBearSeal]

I'm stuck between Soban and S'jet.

[@NarrowDipShit]

id say mine has to be paktu or manaan.

[@cowofschmaucasts]

It's such a close call for me (Paktu/Soban get honorable mentions) but the Manaan are awesome. The traveling circus-turned-pirates-turned scout pilots thing in their lore is excellent, but I also love that cutscene in Cataclysm when you rendezvous with their fleet to let them know about your harebrained hail mary plan to lure the Beast, and they're basically like "oh my god y'all are crazy...but you're OUR kind of crazy!" The way the voice actor plays it you can hear the respect. xD

[@PolarBearSeal]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. :) Well worth the wait.

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@thegreenishcrab]

Yo I hope your still uploading, could you do a lore series on the Great journey to Hiigara, the story of Cataclysm/Emergency (the homworld game that came out between 1 and 2, and the lore of 2 and after?

[@theCoolLew]

Thanks for the lore lesson, playing the campaign will mean a lot more to me now! Hey, can you (or anyone) recommend a good strategy video? I'm usually great at RTS games (Supreme Commander, Age of Empires, etc) but can't seem to get the hang of this one, can't even beat 1 AI on normal skirmish right now :(

[@Dreamlands15]

Lewis Morgan Yeah Ive got an entire playlist of guide videos :) Ones for skirmish as each faction, as well as a couple of very basic build orders to start with for beginners :) You can also check out multiplayer commentaries on this channel, as well as Majiir Paktu, Coercer, Magpie 843, and Tren. Hope that helps. Glad you enjoyed the lore!:D

[@theCoolLew]

Dreamlands cool, looking forward to watching them

[@EmptySoul01]

A other great lore video good job.

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks man.

[@jakeg3733]

So there was a gradual loss of technology after landfall on Kharak, followed by a sudden sharp decline from the heresy wars that threatened to throw them back to their version of the neolithic. The writers of the Homeworld series really did their archeology homework because that's exactly how it works. The Roman Empire didn't just "fall" one day immediately leading to the dark ages. It was a gradual process finalized in 535AD when what was most likely a massive supervolcano erupted and did terrible damage to agriculture worldwide

[@madw1lly]

Great series!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks you :D

[@DamianAre95]

What happened when we finish the campaign? I mean what does the Jaraci object and what happened after the ending? I only understood that Rachel discovers they are Kushan

[@toddkes5890]

At the end of the campaign the Gaalsien forces have lost their primary carrier and spiritual leader, so have likely fragmented with all the smaller leaders trying to get power for themselves. You also have the Gaalsien people having a crisis of faith as the Coalition was abler to go against the will of Sajuuk, so they are questioning their leaders. The Coalition can use the availability of resources and lack of Gaalsien raiders to set up extraction sites in the deserts, grabbing the high-tech materials to help bootstrap their orbital capabilities and build the Mothership. The Khaaneph will likely remain a dangerous threat, though a few of them might choose to help out in the Mothership project so their children (as fertilized eggs) can live on. From there, play the game 'Homeworld' to find out the next part of their story.

[@jckcc]

Always wanted a deeper origin to the faction that spearheaded the first Homeworld campaign

[@gracecalis5421]

Kiith Nabaal, u the tru MVP

[@Dreamlands15]

Cant argue with that statement :)

[@Crazael]

Fun bit of scale: those little buggies you see at 3:58 are the size of a house.

[@foodomanthemagnificent2650]

I've been building the Coalition army in From the Depths so you can walk around inside the vehicles

[@xianderthest8014]

So if the Siidim are the military arm does that mean they work in tandem with Kiith Soban?

[@Dreamlands15]

It would depend on the operation i guess. Sobsn being mercenaries, if they were hired for a particular mission, they would.

[@AcidiFy574]

I wonder if there's a Southern coalition ?

[@captain_legend7551]

Great lore videos! Keep it up!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks man!

[@TheElholm]

Fantastic! Thanks for this :-)

[@Mankindatwar]

How did the Gaalsians get such high tech ships if they hate nabal and sjet scientists?

[@Dreamlands15]

The campaign explains that in mission 8. They spend years salvaging tech out of some wrecked starships buried in the desert.

[@grimreaper6557]

The Homeworld series deserves a live action series its awesome and could make a fantastic movie or television seriese

[@MathiasCzR01]

Took you forever. But its still good!

[@Dreamlands15]

Yeah, it did take forever. A ton of work went into this, and I got a bit OCD at times lol. Glad you liked it man :)

[@ichlol9975]

and takes forever again

[@fuchnorris6277]

thanks

[@kostakatsoulis2922]

I like kith nebaal

[@xdas11]

CAPISI!!!

[@Dreamlands15]

Best Carrier.
