It is revealed in ''[[Homeworld 2]]'' that 3000 years before the events of ''[[Homeworld]]'', the Hiigarans and the Taiidani became embroiled in a heated border dispute.

Although the Hiigarans fought stubbornly, the Bentusi were forced to destroy the Hiigaran fleet.  The Bentusi themselves grieved just as much as anybody else, and vowed to never make war on another race again, not even to help the Hiigarans from the vengeful Taiidan.
