Awesome / Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak

• Anytime you felled a Carrier, really. Seeing those behemoths go down in explosions and flames is quite a sight.
• One has to give credit for Kiith Gaalsien, who managed to create an entire civilization despite being isolated and living in harsh desert climates for decades. And that's not counting the artifacts that they've found...
• Any mission where you work in tandem with the Sakala is fast-paced and makes you feel like you're all part of one big, well-oiled military machine. Of course, this makes the Sakala's betrayal all the more infuriating.
• The sudden demise of carrier K'Had Sajuuk, courtesy of Jacob S'Jet taking hold of a Taiidan Kill Sat. Too bad he didn't think about his own survival...
• The Kapisi receives a demand from the Sakala to surrender, Roman responds thusly:
  Mashad Siidim: "We demand the object that your science officer has seized. Relinquish it, and you may continue to live on this planet... after our Ascension."
  Roman S'jet: (in a soft but firm voice with a hint of a snarl) "Close this channel until further notice, the only sound I wanna hear from the Sakala is her hull exploding."
  • It's very cathartic given what the Siidim had put you through for a good few missions, especially if you're familiar with the Heresy Wars and their involvement in it.
