Description
Known as the harbingers of death, the Khaaneph are a mysterious, nomadic people dwelling in the deep Southern Desert. Through intercepted transmissions, we know they are greatly feared by our most tenacious enemy, the Gaalsien. Our own reconnaissance confirms their mastery of the battlefield. Modifying scavenged and captured Gaalsien technology to deadly effect, both their technology and tactics are offensive-based. The Khaaneph often attack in waves and can swiftly disrupt resource operations, flank enemy forces, launch explosive drones, and bombard their prey with a hail of missiles.

This fleet pack will add the new playable fleet, Kiith Khaaneph, to multiplayer and skirmish modes in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. The Khaaneph Fleet includes a new CARRIER, SIEGE CRUISER, BASERUNNER, PRODUCTION CRUISER and new unit BLAST DRONE.

Additional Features
  • New Khaaneph Carrier Captain Voice
  • New Khaaneph voice processing
  • Unique Khaaneph Textures for all units in the fleet
  • Unique Khaaneph visual FX on units


Khaaneph Carrier:
  • Missile System - The Khaaneph Carrier can shunt power to increase the ammunition and reload speed of its targeted missile weapon. Missiles provide excellent early-game defense and late-game offense.
  • Mobility Support - A new shunting system that allows Carriers and Production Cruisers to speed up nearby allies.


Khaaneph Siege Cruiser:
  • An armored cruiser equipped with powerful direct-fire missiles and a wide-area barrage weapon.


Khaaneph Baserunner:
  • Blast Drones - Khaaneph Baserunners can deploy a limited number of Blast Drones, fast unmanned skimmers that rush towards enemies and detonate a powerful explosive.
  • Smoke Wall - Khaaneph Baserunners can deploy a series of smoke grenades in their wake, allowing a mobile baserunner to create a wall of sight-blocking smoke.


Khaaneph Production Cruiser:
  • Mobility Support - Using the Carrier's Mobility Support system, the production cruiser can boost the speed of nearby allied units.

Unparalleled quality!

I wrote a review in the game’s page, some years ago, long after the first time I played it. I finished it again recently and I can’t stress enough the quality of “Deserts of Kharak”! So, I want to make this post in all store’s pages relevant to the game (as GOG doesn’t allow to modify our existent reviews), and prompt anyone (who likes strategy games, that is) to buy it! It is the prequel of all Homeworld games. There are 13 missions, which I would guess took me around 20-25 h in total. A strategy game that looks more like the tactical strategy genre (no base building, you are constantly on the move), than the normal strategy genre. Of course, this makes sense in the overall story of having a carrier, which you must get to a specific place on your planet. Also, the carrier can’t be placed at one spot for the entirety of each mission, but it has to be moving around. That’s because the resources are very scattered on each map (no one spot with too much of it), which makes you to have to constantly move around the map with your units, and the carrier has to be near too, as if it gets destroyed, it’s game over! Another thing to praise is the sound. You will be listening to every person (inside his/her unit), as if you hear them through radio communication, which I really never found tiresome to be hearing! On the contrary, I was feeling I was "along with them" too! The resources you collect, as well as the upgrades you perform, and the units you create, all follow up through the next missions. Three difficulty levels. I played it on normal and, while there were some tense moments (as expected), nothing "cheaty" from the game. With a different approach, all can be done!

Great game and impressive soundtrack

Succesor to Homeworld franchise: the game is slick, well balanced and provides 8-10 hours of strategic and tactical enjoyment. Highly recommended.
