WARNING! HUGE IMAGE!!! Download for full scale.

This is the closest to being finished with the Homeworld Map I've come ever since starting construction on it. All the nations have logos one way or another, I've filled in the sidelines with some useful info...

All that needs is spell checking, minor corrections, polish, and some other details and it's done. It's more or less in a presentable state now though.

Homeworld is an original creation by Relic Entertainment. Most original elements not included in the Homeworld games and manual material was provided by myself. If this isn't a statement of how much of a fan I am of this game and Relic, I don't know what is.

Never played the game, unfortunately... but you're reminding me of work I need to do on my own universe!

I thought this was a great game back in the day. And it is still pretty fun to play 2day. I thought that it would've made a great TV series. Although it has a lot in common with the new Battlestar Galactica series.

I played once, and damn it was good. Hope they do a good sequel, though there is another 'version' coming out vased on it. However, I do not know the name and has politics,etc in it instead of battles only. GRAPHICS are frigging sweet.

Homeworld = vastly superior plot to nBSG.

Homeworld = entirely original.

Homeworld was inspired by the 1978 Galactica series, so that's where the similarity comes in. Relic couldn't to BSG, so they set out on their own path and so we have Hw1.

Hw2 was rushed, but the concept artwork considered during production speaks of a much deeper, richer game.

Homeworld 2 provided some maps here and there. I wasn't satisfied with the lack of depth.

the PDS team wanted me to make a map, so I set out in an attempt to make something for them. Creative differences between their ideas and mine of the Homeworld universe forced me to leave the team for creative freedom.

Then I translated the map to vector graphics, made some changes from the PDS map, and created this. Most of the 'new' nations of the Galactic council are off-the-cuff for me and are inspired from mythology and ancient history, as Homeworld and it's inspiration Battlestar Galactica were.

We at Relic's forums also hope for a Homeworld 3. I'm told my map was pitched as a concept for an MMORTS. While I don't support MMO-anything, It would be nice if somehow my map made it's way into canon.

It's already gained the attention of relic proper, and even made fourth place in Relic's Biggest Fan contest when it wasn't even complete.

Hellz yeah, I am damn sure there are still many Homeworld Loyalist out there. They still remember how they fought in the stars for the Hiigara. I remember... always...

It is great to see the map of the galaxy, not to mention in such great detail and faithfulness to the game.
