It should be noted that the behaviour of the Bentusi in Homeworld: Cataclysm, was a drastic change compared to Homeworld. Many Homeworld fans consider Homeworld: Cataclysm to be non-canon, as it has no real effect on the future of the Homeworld universe as depicted in Homeworld 2 other than the 'mysterious' dis
sappearance of the Bentusi tradeships. None of the technologies in Homeworld: Cataclysm are carried into Homeworld 2, and the Beast incident is not mentioned.

==Bentusi capabilities==
Prior to the Hiigaran exile, the Bentusi were a prominent military force in the Homeworld universe. They had emerged early on the galactic stage, and were the first race to discover far-jumper technology, using a powerful hyperspace core capable of hurling ships over incredible distances. Using the power of the far-jumper, the Bentusi quickly established the Old Trade Routes, and spread their influence across the galaxy. Soon after the establishment of the Trade Routes, the Bentusi took upon themselves the mantle of "Galactic Peacekeepers". Using the far-jumper housed in their harbourship, Bentus, the Bentusi could send their entire fleet to quell interplanetary wars with their superior technology. However, many systems did not like being little more than protectorates of the Bentusi, and began conspiring with other planets to bring an end to the Bentusi's "tyranny". Almost overnight, dozens of wars broke out across the galaxy. The Bentusi fleet, though uindisputably powerful, could only be in one place at once. As the dust settled, several new Empires had been created, and the Galactic Council was formed. The Bentusi's reign had ended.
