Cataclysm 2nd is the name given to the 2008 National Novel Writing Month story I will be writing for in November. The works contained in this section of the gallery are ship designs and character artwork that apply to the story. While most designs will be used in the story, some of them may also carry over to 'canon' Homeworld and what I consider Canon in a 'traditional' setting. Cataclysm 2nd's purpose is to re-write what I saw as a horrible sequel to Relic Entertainment's "Homeworld". I felt Barking Dog handled the story poorly, eschewing all that made Homeworld original from other science fiction and turning it into a run-of-the-mill setting with science comparable to Star Wars or Star Trek. Cata 2nd is intended to bring Cataclysm closer to Homeworld 1. As an aside, this universe assumes the Taiidan were the exiles for aesthetic reasons. I felt a fleet redesign was also necessary, since most of the ships in the Somtaaw fleet are downright ridiculous.
