Kiith Somtaaw
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.

===Super-heavy===
Also Mothership-class, or Command Ship class, for all intents and purposes. These vessels are of such immense size that only large dedicated shipyards or the original Mothership itself are capable of building them. The two in possession by Somtaaw were built by the Mothership. Both 
haveare of the '''Explorer''' class, which has a default mass of 613'000 tons, maximum scanning range of 12km and a top speed of 504 km/h. The six heavy gun turrets have a maximum reach of 6km each, but the actual effective range is significantly shorter. Both vessels are known by the '''Explorer''' name. Designed by the best Somtaaw engineers to be able to last a Hiigaran year or more on its own plying the mining routes in search of raw materials, and holding a crew in excess of several thousand people, the ships pushed the automated construction facilities of the Mothership to its limits.

====Fal-Corum====
The first Somtaaw vessel to leave the Mothership, the Fal-Corum would serve as the testbed for the technologies that would make the Kuun-Lan the superior of the two. Regardless, it is still a competent vessel.

====Kuun-Lan====
The Kuun-Lan, over the course of Cataclysm, turns from a huge mining vessel to an immense fully-fledged warship. Removing much of its original structure, 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 Siege 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.
