In the [[Homeworld]] series, the Bentusi are a race of space-faring technology traders, who help the [[Kushan (Homeworld)|Kushan]] fleet in their quest to find [[Hiigara]].

After the Hiigaran exile, the Bentusi "demilitarized" their fleets, however their ships still retain formidable firepower. Homeworld: Cataclysm introduced the 'super-acolyte' fighter, a swift assault craft sporting smaller ion cannons. If one assumes continuity between Homeworld
: Cataclysm and Homeworld 2 (an assumption debated over by fans of the series), then the power of the original Bentusi fleet must have been unparalleled. Bentusi ships have only been seen armed with beam weaponry.

The Bentusi also have a unparalleled array of information at their disposal, and in the original Homeworld sold a wide variety of technologies, such as the Ion Cannon to the Kushan exiles. They require resources (RU) in return for this technology. What the Bentusi do with the resources is unknown.

The information that the Bentusi have could also extend to that of a Proginator level, repairing the '''Dreadnaught's Phase Cannon Array''' after it was used successfully against a Vaygr attack fleet, but becoming irrepairably damaged after overloading the array and becoming unrepairable to normal Hiigaran technology. In Homeworld Cataclysm, the Bentusi successfully repaired the '''Kuun-Lan's Siege Cannon''' by installing superheating sinks, which enabled the cannon to fire repeatedly. The Bentusi also complimented [[Kiith Somtaaw]] for finding such a weapon, being impressed by the skill in how the lesser races created it. However, Kiith Somtaaw did not create a weapon like this, it was salvaged in a sector of space where a battle was supposedly fought by another race, in an area surrounded by mines.
