Overview
(Note: The actual story is still in writing. This paragraph is just a story to be based upon, and the final piece may not match the paragraph
The Apocalypse project is a FreeSpace mod based on Homeworld. Homeworld is a massivly popular award winning space-sim game. The mod is divided into three sections: Homeworld, Homeworld: Cataclysm and Homeworld 2. Homeworld would act as a "demo" to give the player a feel about the main character (Iifrit Tambuura) and it's surroundings. Cataclysm woudld just be a "expansion" to where Homeworld had left off, and show the struggle of Tamubuura when he and his clan are trying to prepare themselves for the attack on Hiigara. Lastly, Homeworld 2 (or Era 2 for some people) would describe how a group of Kiith of an elite recon unit make it's way into the siege of Hiigara.
Homeworld
Kharak. A hostile, desert world, where the only arable land lie in the polar regions. The Kiithid have called it home since time immemorable. Near the end of the Heresy Wars, Kiith Naabal emerged from their hidden polar region, sallying forth to stop the Heresy Wars, and establishing the Time of Reason. During the ToR, advances in biological and chemical sciences revealed a disturbing lack of commonality between the kiith and most Kharakid life. Except for a small variety of bacteria and a single species of small forager, the kiith were aliens to the world.
In 1105, a radar satellite malfunctioned, and scanned the surface of the planet. A strong return where there should have been non revealed to be an ancient city, now known as Khar Toba, built around the skeletal chassis of an advanced vessel. Beneath the surface, in a shielded chamber, lay the remains of the ancient ship's power plant. Attached to it was a small, nondescript module. This small module was revealed to be a solid state hyperspace induction module. With this, the Kiith were ready to take their first steps into the galaxy, but it was not until 1135, did they know how far they would have to go.
At Khar Toba, a team of dedicated archaeologist continued to work on the ancient city under some of the harshest Kharakid conditions. Mevath Sagald, leader of the expedition, found and explored the mythic Observertory Temple of Khar Toba. There, she found a single black stone. It was the Guidestone. On its surface was etched a simple map of the galaxy, and a single gouged line leading from a point of the rim to one deep in the galactic center. Adjacent to the rim spot was a string of numbers giving Kharak's actual position. At the other end, was a single word, ancient but common to all dialects. Hiigara ... Home.
This single discovery sparked off the largest construction project ever known. The entire planet was devoted to the construction of the Mothership. Part carrier, part survey ship, part factory complex and temporary home for millions of people in cyrogenic sleep. Over a period of 55 years, the Mothership took form. Now the Mothership is ready to begin the journey to Hiigara ... to home.
