==Prehistory==

The '''Taiidan Empire''' was founded more than three thousand years prior to the events in the game Homeworld, after a large galactic conflict caused hundreds of smaller governments, who had achieved interstellar travel through contact with the [[Bentusi]], to consolidate into several large empires. Although they were historically a founding member of the Galactic Council, the Taiidan were locked in a border conflict with the rival [[Hiigaran Empi(contracted; show full)ls against perceived dissidents. One of the key figures, Captain Elson of the destroyer ''Kapella'' joined forces with the Kushan and helped them reach their home. After the final battle in orbit of Hiigara the Empire collapsed and was replaced by the '''Taiidan''' Republic, although there were many splinter factions claiming Imperial legitimacy. The Emperor himself commanded his forces over the world of Hiigara, and was destroyed along with his flagship.


During the campaign, the Taiidan showed increasingly erratic behavior, including attacking a Bentusi vessel and attempting to crash an asteroid into the Kushan mothership. The Emperor unsuccessfully attempted to keep the Kushan exiles from reaching Hiigara by constructing a massive Hyperspace Inhibitor and guarding it with hundreds of frigates.⏎

There are rumors that the Taiidan was the race intended to be played through the single-player campaign.

==Homeworld 2 Era==

After the Hiigarans re-established their Empire, the remnants of the HiigarTaiidan Empire and the HiigarTaiidan Republic awere assimilated into the forces of the [[Vagyr]] warlord Makaan.
