In the fictional universe of the [[Homeworld]] series of [[computer games]], '''Kiith Somtaaw''' is one of many kiithid or extended family-clans that belong to the [[The Kushan|Kushan]] race. Originally a major religious kiith the '''Somtaaw''' made their living mining metal for another one of the kiithid, Kiith Soban, an ally of theirs during the terrible Heresy Wars.

The Composite Vehicle form (Martyr) of this vessel reduces speed and maneuverability as well, but the two ships can interface directly into each other's projector grids and work coherently to produce holograms that can allow itself to pass off as larger frigate-class vessels.

===Medium===
Frigate-class or sized vessels are under this category. With the exception of the Worker
 and Clee-San, all vessels in here use an adapted Minion ship drive. Crew sizes are still relatively small, in the region of five personnel on average for the mass-produced ships. Medium is the largest class that vessels of the Carrier designation can construct and field.

====Worker====
The 5200-ton Worker is the workhouse of the Somtaaw fleet. While the larger fleets have opted to require several ships performing a singular function each, Somtaaw engineers have incorporated all those features into one vessel. The Worker is capable of harvesting, with repair and salvage capabilities installable through upgrades. It can move at speeds of up to 1530kmph.⏎

====Minion====
An exceptionally-old design that was original used to push large sections of scaffolding around in space, it has since been updated for use in the modern age. In its official capacity, the Minion is a mining tug, designed to push large asteroids closer to the processing facility to streamline mining efforts. If the asteroid is far too large, the Minion is equipped with a fusion torch to cut through the material. In recent times however, the Minion has been used in combat as a means to ram hea(contracted; show full)ture, the Kuun-Lan used the new space to house research facilities and the innumerable banks of storage and processor systems needed to keep a warfaring fleet in operation. In addition, the vessel boasts a feature no other Mothership-class spacecraft in the entire Hiigaran Navy can claim; a massive nuclear-based cannon that has a theoretical maximum reach of 900km. The target must however be significantly closer than 900km in order to maintain the effectiveness of the weapon.
