==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 Empire]]. The conflict was eventually brought before the Galactic Council, and decided in favor of the Taiidan Empire. 

Fearing that the Taiidan would eventually come to dominate the Hiigaran Empire, and dissatisfied with the decision made by the Council, the Hiigaran Empire launched a military strike against the Taiidan homeworld. After primary military and governmental facilities had been devastated by orbital strikes, the Hiigaran fleet returned to Hiigaran space.

==[[Homeworld 2]] Era==

After the Hiigarans re-established their Empire, the remnants of the '''Taiidan Empire'''  were assimilated into the forces of the [[Vagyr]] warlord Makaan. The '''Taiidan Republic''' are not mentioned, but Taiidani elements in ship design are in the new Hiigaran ships, making it likely that they existed within the Hiigaran Empire
