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 [[Kushan (Homeworld)|Kushan]] race. Originally a major religious kiith, the '''Somtaaw''' made their living mining metal.

After the events of ''[[Homeworld]] however'' the '''Somtaaw''' were left with a substantially smaller portion of their kiith, most having been destroyed in the Kharak Genocide. After fighting against their own government to achieve rights to use the [[Ships of Homeworld|Mothership]] facilities for a limited period of time, they built three ships, two of command ship class and one science vessel.

To this end they possess technology that even the far-more advanced Kiith do not have, such as automatic self-repair capability for their ships, force-field generators, the unique electromagnetically-based Repulsor defensive system, microships and splitter-technology for [[Ion Cannon]]s. It should be noted that this is 15 years after the events of the original ''Homeworld'' and 85 years prior to [[Homeworld 2]].

With the exception of the Repair Drones, all light
-  vessels use Bentusi-designed [[fusion rocket]] fighter drives that are so efficient they render traditional Kiith-derived designs as badly outdated.
