{{Spoiler}}

==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 Emp(contracted; show full) their Empire, the remnants of the '''Taiidan Empire''' were assimilated into the forces of the [[Vaygr]] warlord Makaan. Influences of the Taiidani can be seen in some of the Vaygr ship designs, such as the Assault Frigate. The '''Taiidan Republic''' is not mentioned, but Taiidani elements in ship design are also seen in the new Hiigaran ships, making it likely that they still exist within the Hiigaran Empire, or were at least absorbed into it.


==Special Ships==

'''Defense Fighter''' A very specialized fighter craft designed solely to destroy projectiles, launched by enemy strike craft only. It uses a beam to destroy the projectile and is not powerful enough to stop ion-beams.

'''Defense Field Frigate''' Another specialized capital ship designed to perform the same purpose as the Defense Fighter, but on a much larger scale. ⏎
