The Heresy Wars were a painful period of tranformation for Somtaaw; the Khontala Mountain range provides natural barrier between Kiith Gaalsien and Kiith Siidim, with both sides trying to seduce the Somtaaw to their aid for 200 years. The flow of pilgrims slowed to a halt, and no pilgrims means no money to maintain the temples. Eventually, in the year 675 KDS, all 33 of the Somtaaw temples were closed to outsiders, except for the Oracle of Tala and the Dome of Heaven. And the kiith had troubles keeping the Kassar Road, the only path in and out of their holdings, open. Invaders couldn't enter, but neither does caravans and visitors...

* ShaggyDogStory: If [[VideoGame/HomeworldCataclysm Homeworld Cataclysm]] is any indication, Kiith Somtaaw still has a lot more work to do.

to:

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Downplayed. While the Somtaaw have reinvented themselves as a prominent agricultural and industrial force, they've yet to reclaim the prestige held by their ancestors. Their true return to glory, however, [[FutureBadass is yet to come]].

Added DiffLines:

* TheFederation: The Coalition has grown increasingly close-knit to the point of being the de facto hegemon of the Kushan living in the more temperate zones.


Added DiffLines:

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Compared to [[VideoGame/{{Homeworld}} Karen S'jet]], Rachel is noticeably more emotional and uncertain over her own capabilities. She's nonetheless a competent ScienceHero who's determined to both find her lost brother and see the expedition succeed.


Added DiffLines:

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that Rachel's Baserunner is the exact same one seen in the intro cutscene to the original ''Homeworld''.]]

** As much as they wanted to [[spoiler:reach Khar-Toba and claim its secrets for themselves, there is no trace of Siidim influence in the ruins of the First City, their kiith sigil missing from the ruins, while their hated enemies the Gaalsien were quite possibly the leaders of the Hiigarans in the city.
