==Overview==
Calling themselves ''The Unbound'', the Bentusi are a very ancient, wise race who do not claim any planet for themselves, instead opting to live exclusively among the stars. It would probably be impossible for the Bentusi to even survive outside of their ships, given that they are physically connected to them, as revealed in "Homeworld: Cataclysm". The Bentusi are one of the three races to possess hyperspace cores, along with the [[Vaygr]] and [[Hiigarans]].

Although the Bentusi are one of the most technologically advanced races in the Homeworld universe, they choose to remain peaceful unless their [[Mothership]]s are attacked. This does not stop them from selling and trading powerful combat technology with other races, though.

It is revealed in ''[[Homeworld 2]]'' that 3000 years before the events of ''[[Homeworld]]'' the [[Hiigaran Empire]]'s fleet became hungry for power during a war between them, a rival race called the Taiidan and the Bentusi. They then went after [[Bentus]], the Bentusi's harbour ship in an attempt to acquire a second core and thus an upper hand in battle. As a consequence they were obliterated by the infuriated Bentusi, enabling the vengeful [[Taiidan]] toempire to crush and conquer [[Hiigara]] and drive the Hiigarans into exile on the desert planet [[Kharak]]. As such the Bentusi are indirectly responsible for the Hiigaran exile, and were compelled to help the Kushans in their quest to reach their [[Homeworld]].
