In the successful [[space opera]] [[computer game]] '''''[[Homeworld]]''''', there are several ships with a distinctly unique appearance when compared to the ships of other space operas such as ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'', or ''[[Babylon 5]]''. This appearance, similar to the designs displayed in the [[Terran Trade Authority]] novels is one of the attractive aspects of the game. In addition, the game designers (i.e. [[Relic]] or [[Barking Dog Studios]]) made it a point to outline the ''official'' technical specifications of their ships, a tradition continued by fans designing [[modpack]]s based on the engines of the Homeworld games.

The ships listed here spread from the original [[Kushan]]i and [[Taiidan]]i vessels to the [[Vaygr]] and [[Hiigarans]] in '''''[[Homeworld 2]]'''', or even to vessels which never made it into the games like the [[Turret Frigate]] or ships made as a joke on the fans, like the [[Goat-Thrower]].

===[[Taiidan]]i Vessels in [[Homeworld]] and [[Homeworld: Cataclysm]]===
In ''Homeworld'' and '''''Homeworld: Cataclysm''''' the Taiidani vessels are often named by [[Kushan]]i names, like "[[Taiidan Interceptor|Triikor]] or "[[Taiidan ICF|Sajuuk-Cor]]". The reasons for this are complicated and involve the open nature of the original ''Homeworld'' campaign. In the original game it was possible to play as both the Kushan and Taiidan, despite the fact that it was later decided cannonically speaking that the Kushan are the true [[Exile]]s. In ''Homeworld: Cataclysm'', the situation was further complicated by the fact that Barking Dog Studios continued to use the names as "code-names", similar in use to names like "''[[Typhoon]]''" or "''[[Foxtrot]]''" used to describe [[Soviet]] vessels in the [[Cold War]].

Many fans of the ''Homeworld'' series believe that the Taiidan were the original Exiles and that it was later changed to the Kushan at a later date. Relic continues to deny this for the most part but it is still a popular theory amongst many gamers of the original ''Homeworld'', especially those who were fans of the sleek design of Taiidani vessels (particularly [[starfighters]]).

===[[The Beast]] Vessels in [[Homeworld: Cataclysm]]===
In ''Homeworld: Cataclysm'' the Beast are the main antagonist and are a species of deadly biomechanic [[virus]] that can colonize and hence "[[infect]]" both machines and organic matter. Unlike a regular virus the Beast does not destroy its targets, enslaving its host to create genetic copies of itself in a self-destructive manner, but instead ''literally'' enslaves them, acting as a sentient being and using their memories and knowledge against their allies. For this reason, almost all Beast vessels are copies of designs used earlier by other races. For this reason the section devoted to the Beast contains few ships and merely mentions some used by the Beast alone (such as the Beast modification of the lower half of the ''Kuun-Lan'' [[Command Ship]]).
