Homeworld ttrpg campaign Map

For the Campaign I had the desire to make a complete map of the Homeworld galaxy, and I do mean COMPLETE. I started out with the obvious things: The same Galaxy image used in the game, the loading screens as basis for the exiles path from Kharak to Hiigara, with all the land marks in between. Next I tried to read all avaliable source material for who else is there, of course there was the Bentusi and Turanic Raiders, but they were everywhere and nowhere. The Taiidan are there, both imperial remnants and the Republic establishing itself. The Tobari were mentioned by name, having border disputes with the Taiidan and of course somewhere somehow the the Vaygr are around, expanding slowly. Which only leaves us to come up with the whole god damned rest of the galaxy and the Galactic council. None of the original sources help with that much. Even the TTRPG book mentions: "oh yeah, the council is there, they're comprised of lots of civilisations" -"That's great! Can you give us some specifics about them ? names? The ships they use? their cultures and beliefs? maybe a map or description where they are?" "...nah, make it up Fam" And so I did. I did talk with Norsehound, who has historically made tons of maps for the Homeworld Fandom and even writes for Homeworld Mobile, as well as having had a hand in the ttrpg Rulebook. From that I got his permission to make use of his map material as well and with that I fleshed out the galactic map of the Homeworld universe to my liking.

This is the current version of the map. every little white dot is a place of interest/star system/space station that can be visited by the players. This map does not yet include all the secret stuff. The hyperspace gates, the Progenitor Relics, the hidden pirate bases, maybe even the Biest... As for the civilisations comprising the galactic council, I have made a lot of sketches and will flesh out more and more of them as I go along. I'll get to them specifically in the next post.

“Tholian” by Michael Ptak, like the Punchatz illustration, interprets the Tholian head seen in the original Star Trek as part of a floating spindle-shaped being. Contrast the Azel piece, which is based on the arthropod-shaped Tholian seen in Star Trek: Enterprise.

Hyperion, Brunhild by Norsehound

“Hyperion The most famous vessel of the Free Planets Alliance around 796 Space Calendar (487 Imperial Calendar), she was the flagship of Yang Wen-Li through most of his service as an admiral in the FPA space fleet. It was also the flagship of the 13th fleet, which was originally comprised of survivors from past battles and new blood fresh from training. Hyperion is an older model command warship, previously the 3rd Remote Region flagship before it's reassignment to the 13th fleet. Inferior to the newer line of command cruisers (Patriclous type) with only 80% of the forward firepower, she also only carries 24 Spartanian one-man fighters. The Hyperion would eventually come under the command of Willibald Joachim von Merkatz, while Yang transferred his flag to the lucky Battleship Ulysses. Eventually Hyperion took a critical hit, killing Merkatz, though it is not sure if the Hyperion was completely destroyed, or only crippled beyond repair. Regardless, her grave is just within the Alliance side of the Iserlohn corridor. Brunhild Brunhild was an experimental design with a high emphasis on defense. It's structure, combined with additional defense screens, theoretically gave it a high survivability rate. It's many brushes in combat (given the mentality of her commander, Reinhard von Lohengramm), are testament to the survival power of the battleship. As an experimental design, Brunhild was considered for mass production, but her costs went beyond ten times that of the original estimate. Nevertheless, copies are said to exist. When she was delivered to Reinhard's command, her trials had already been completed. It is thought that Reinhard was allowed command of the Brunhild because it's over-reliance on defense was not desired by Imperial commanders. Brunhild would survive the duration of the entire series, first appearing at the battle of Legmiza and conveying Reinhard to Phezzan at its end.“

Tristan, Beowulf by Norsehound “Tristan Tristan was assigned to Oskar Von Reuantal, one of the "Twin stars" of the Empire under the Lohengramm dynasty. Like the Beowulf it was a new design produced from the results of the Brunhild's innovations. Unlike Beowulf, Tristan had a small-scale X-Ray beam cannon in the nose. Forward weaponry was reduced because of this. After Reuantal's uprising and subsequent defeat, Tristan was moored at Heinessen while the Admiral awaited his best friend- and death- in his provincial headquarters. It is unclear what happened to Tristan following the admiral's death- whether it was repaired or not or even remained on Heinessen. Beowulf Sister ship to the Tristan and under the command of Wolfgang Mittermeyer- the "Gale Wolf" and other half of the 'twin Stars' of the Empire. Though Mittermeyer's skills and speed lend him to be deployed more often than Reuantal, Beowulf was in the line of fire nearly twice as often and received battle damage on several occasions. Beowulf mounts six bow-mounted cannons in the nose, strengthening its forward battery. Like Tristan, Beowulf also benefited from the reflecting hull structure pioneered by the Brunhild and so has a higher defense in the bow. “
