Homeworld is a planetological term used by sophontologists to describe the worlds or systems at which Native Intelligent Life (NIL) is thought to have arisen.
- Imperial scientists often use the shorthand abbreviation Hw to indicate this term.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
While most Homeworlds are located within the Habitable Zones of any particular star system, there are exotic lifeforms known to reside on worlds outside of conventional habitability.
- Jovionoids are one such type of exotic life and are known to dwell on Gas Giants, typically found well outside of Habitable Zones.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The usage of the term has been somewhat extended since variant races, chimerae, artificially-created species as a result of Geneering, and other kinds of not-strictly-native lifeforms have their initial place of creation also marked as homeworlds on IISS star charts.
- Please note that a number of species have no known homeworlds. They certainly originated somewhere, though.
Worlds and Sectors[edit]
Homeworlds can be found throughout Charted Space and beyond, but for unknown reasons, the greatest known concentrations of sophontic life are located within Charted Space.
World Listing[edit]
The following systems and worlds are known homeworlds:
