A Homeworld is a planetological term used by sophontologists to describe the systems or worlds on 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 a conventional Habitability Zones.

Planetary Characteristics[edit]

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:
