Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, The Soban to Wage War

In the first DLC for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, a new fleet will be available to use in battle against Kiith Gaalsien, the Soban, who come with new equipment. In this pack we get a Soban specific Carrier, Base Runner, Railgun tank and Battlecruiser. Along with the new Carrier there will be new modules: Microwave Emitter, Armed Logistic Module, and instead of close-in weapons system the Carrier has defensive railguns.

The Soban are well known by the civilised Kiiths as respected warriors. They are used on contract work only, even known to leave in the middle of battles once their contract ends. Now they run the best military academy on Kharak with limited spaces and share their teachings with the rest of the Coalition.

The package is to be released on March 22nd and priced at £5.00 and will be available through Steam.
