Vaygr ships are so intimidating and brutal looking, when you hear this music you know, you’ll have a difficult fight, “Multiple hyperspace signatures detected”

[@allusive2903]

I know right?! Some of those missions are just brutal as fuck but epic nonetheless! Can’t wait for HW3….I think the Vaygr are shown in the trailer.

[@kabob0077]

Hyperspace signature detected. attention, visual contact. Hyperspace signature detected.

Here's a good way to tell you're in a hostile space: If the music sounds like it would fit in a Jaws inspired movie, the Vaygr are around. If the music starts and has a near constant drone and an echoy distortion on some of the background instruments with a VERY LOAD wind instrument that produces a humming or buzzing sound then the Turanic Raiders have made you their prey. If the music is mainly percussion that at times sounds like it's somehow reversing but also has a similar hum or buzz to the previous or is VERY distorted and sounds unhinged then the Tiidan are here to kill you. If the music is mainly distorted with percussion and something which sounds a bit like a heavily distorted brass section that starts and ends with a gong plus a sinister guitar then The Beast is near and you should inform Kiith Somtaaw IMMEDIATELY after you flee. If the music starts and you hear a "mana mana mana mana" followed by chanting then The Keeper is after you. If the music is Percussion and Strings or a buildup with mainly Percussion that gets faster and faster at points followed by rising strings and bagpipes then you're dealing with Colonials or Cylons depending on the circumstances. If the music sounds awe inspiring, slightly religious, and with a hint of almost a bittersweet melody you may be in a Covenant controlled area. If the Demented and slightly out of tune strings of Tanc a Lelek are playing then you're already dead, sorry. You're officially beyond help, if you somehow survive then good on you.

YES. Totally with the BSG.

[@allusive2903]

The Vaygr has one of the best villain themes I ever heard in an rts game. I mean whenever on a mission and here the ominous cello….I’m like…. “Here we go again….” Terrifying and intimidating.

[@xonxt7479]

why does this go so hard though

[@kabob0077]

Ever notice how predatory the Vaygr's music and ships seem? The music alone wouldn't be out of place in a movie about a killer shark... Or a whole group of killer sharks.

[@PraetorPaktu]

Wow. never thought of it like that. Now I see it.

[@Yeeren]

Much like sharks, the Vaygr are a simple people, you always know where you stand when dealing with them. Unfortunately where you stand is at the wrong end of a mass-driver.

[@caffi1]

Sharks are not nearly agressive enough, I'd say it better fits the constant wars between ants and termites

[@trickm0nkey]

I love this take, never thought of it like that

[@overlordmgcover2262]

For nomadic race the Vaygr are quite organised in their ship designs. I always liked how some Vaygr ships have some subtle similarity with progenitor ships. Shows how they worship the progenitors so much that they took design inspiration for some ships. I think their corvettes have a heavy influence from the progenitor movers.

[@adf8537]

Love the mix of strings and military drums in Vaygr Approach

[@allusive2903]

Prepare and standby for Vaygr occupation

[@CheffBryan]

We need someone to mix all of these together for a seamless three hour song. Nothing beats the Vaygr music for working on BattleTech models

[@kabob0077]

Perfect Rose from Armored Core Verdict Day works pretty good when working on models too.

[@helghast.g75]

just right-click the video and check play in a loop

[@RetroAmateur1989]

I like the Vaygr theme. Homeworld never really had a main, recognizable, overarching theme(I do not count adagio for strings), and the Vaygr theme is very much comparable to the Imperial march

[@JSs586]

Glad you took the original verison of the Lighthouse, it has more layers than the remastered version and the beginning of the track is just superior than the other one.

[@TheWizardGamez]

this right here is what gets me pumped up to squat an extra 10

[@judet2992]

God this music, especially Assault on Chimera is probably what a Klingon battle rallying theme sounds like. Also anyone here play Breath of the Wild? Well the beginning of The Lighthouse has a very Gerudo feel to it, and the drums at the end are SCREAMING BSG.

[@landsman420]

Thanks man, I was looking for this theme but never could pinpoint it. Now I have all of it :)

[@FilipRanogajec]

Nice. The Lighthouse is definitely the classic version of it, as remastered one sounds different. But this is good - I think some tracks simply sound better as classics than remastered. Assault on Chimera also kinda sounds better in classic.

[@CheffBryan]

The Lighthouse is also heavily compressed. The tambourines, especially on the left channel, sounds more like breaking glass than the jingling sound it should be

[@danielefabbro822]

Vaygr are portrait as a kind of human (or humanoid) race of conquerors not different from a mixture of Vikings, Mongols and few other populus. I'm really interested in understand how the human diaspora happened in this universe.

[@cronisvalor]

Homeworld takes place so very far into the future it is impossible to tell. There are many who believe the Progenitors to have been the original "Humans" before whatever catastrophe wrecked most of their ships, constructions and most of the galaxy. The Homeworld galaxy and games are littered with ruins from tiny wrecks to ultra-titanic portions of ships that are larger than anything seen in the Homeworld universe. So far, there have been no "aliens" In the Homeworld universe aside from The Beast which is obviously the exception considering it has no goals other than consumption... meaning that the Progenitors are almost certainly the Humans that we think of and the ruins that litter the galaxy are the remnants of whatever empire they managed to build before shattering.

[@BloodyArchangelus]

Projenitors seed. Basically colonists from... mankind i guess.

[@VeilingSun]

The Lighthouse is on fire.

[@sharlin648]

Flagship...

[@zalseon4746]

i hear Assault on Chimera and now i can't stop imagining a video where it's Ryan George doing the Halloween meme dance with a really uncalled for degree of eye-contact while this is playing in the background.

[@Makaan]

Yes.

[@PraetorPaktu]

Nice name.

[@KombatKrab]

Thankyou for making this. ❤️

[@armlh0101]

Maaaate, you missed one. The cinematic that plays between Mission 1 & 2 ("Tanis base has been destroyed...") Fits perfectly between Assault on Chimera and the Vaygr Battle Theme

[@PraetorPaktu]

ah darn

If the Taiidan were the Roman Empire, the Vaygr were the Mongols.
