The purpose for this deployment was to provide the Mothership with a target for testing its hyperdrive module. With the Mothership nearly complete, a research vessel called the Khar-Selim was dispatched to the very outer limits of the Kharak System. Karan offered herself for this technology and she was installed into the ship and became Fleet Command. However, an innovative solution was proposed, one never tested in reality: Karan S'jet was a young and brilliant neuroscientist from Kiith S'jet, who suggested that a cybernetic interface be created, using a living Kushan mind to control it. The mainframe computer, later dubbed Fleet Command, had to control and co-ordinate the entire journey and even the Kushan's limited knowledge of artificial intelligence could not create anything near powerful enough. Дuring construction of the Mothership, a problem was identified and no known solution could be found. The entire race was unified in their efforts and devoted all their time towards it, thinking only of their goal of reclaiming their ancient planet. The construction of the Mothership would take 60 years and consumed almost all resources available to the Kushan. The scientists reverse-engineered the technology for later use, then repaired and installed it aboard the Mothership, allowing them to reach Hiigara quicker by performing large span jumps across areas of space. The most important aspect of the Mothership was the hyperdrive module. The scientists also worked on basic Fighter Drive technology, which would allow them to construct some combat vessels, should their fleet come under attack from hostile forces. Over the course of that time, a Scaffold was built to house the framework of the Kushan Mothership, a colony ship that would carry 600,000 people from Kharak to act as the progenitors on their destination. Now certain that they did not belong natively to Kharak, they worked together for the next 100 years to build the ship that would seek out their homeworld. With the discovery of the Guidestone, the Kushan were spurred into co-operation.

The Guidestone confirmed Kriil S'jet's XenoGenesis Theory for which scientists had been arguing about for decades: Kharak was not their homeworld and that their origins belonged far across the Galaxy.

The depths of the ruins held the most important artifact: a piece of rock on which was etched a map of the entire galaxy, showing a path from Kharak to a world known as Hiigara, which translated to 'Our Home' in the Kushan language. In 1110 KDS, an expedition sent by Kharak's northern kiithid finds the wreckage of the Khar-Toba The Kushan salvaged this hyperdrive and explored further through the ruins, naming the ship and surrounding city as the Khar-Toba. The most impressive piece of technology was the hyperdrive module, which the Hiigarans had taken with them on their journey. Inside the vessel, the explorers discovered much technology, far more advanced than anything seen before. In the years after this discovery was noticed by the Kushan, several archaeological teams were dispatched and the site excavated, revealing the remains of a large city surrounding the wreckage of an ancient ship. These scans revealed the existence of an enormous object underneath the Great Banded Desert. In 1106 KDS, a Viin Cal satellite scans Kharak by mistake before self destructing.ДЎ10 years before the events of Homeworld, a satellite orbiting the planet Kharak had malfunctioned and instead began scanning the surface of the dying world. 13 The Karos Graveyard - The Shining Hinterlands.04.5 Raider Retreat ( Raider Retreat demo only).every effort on the construction of the ship that would seek it out among the stars.
