Homeworld

A homeworld was the planet from which a race originated.

Homeworlds tend also to be the capital planet of interstellar states. A homeworld does not have to be the planet which the species evolved on, the term can also be applied to adoptive homes, such as Romulus and, eventually, New Romulus for the Romulans. For some species, such as the Ascendants, the location of their home world has been lost in time as they spread out into the galaxy. (DS9 novel: Rising Son)

The Ngultor identify homeworlds as "nest worlds". (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

Adopted homeworlds

• Founders:
  • The Founders' homeworld was a Class R planet located in the Omarion Nebula of the Gamma Quadrant. It was the home to the Founders, a group of Changelings, and served as the "capital" of an interstellar empire known as the Dominion. This world was abandoned in 2371 due to an impending attack by a combined Obsidian Order-Tal Shiar fleet. (DS9 episode & novelization: The Search, ST reference: Star Charts)
  • Another world became the second Founders' homeworld in 2372. (DS9 episode: "Broken Link") This planet, later called Empersa, became the new capital of the Dominion and remained into the 25th century. (STO - Gamma Quadrant mission: "Home")
  • By the 3180s decade, the Founders were known to have settled and abandoned the third Founders' homeworld, and by 3189, the location of the fourth Founders' homeworld was depicted on a Federation star chart. (DSC episode: "Die Trying")

• Humans:
  • In a parallel universe affected by the Kelvin timeline, New Earth was a colony established by Humanity after the destruction of Earth by the prochronistic Romulan terrorist Nero. (TOS - Boldly Go comic: "Issue 14")

  • Following the schism and civil war among the Kentari - the conservatives and those following the teachings of Lukar, the self-described Lukari left Kentar in the Great Exodus and settled a moon of the Lukari system. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")

• Nausicaans:
  • Following the devastation of Nausicaa during the Borg Invasion of 2381, Commander Worf of the USS Enterprise-E negotiated a truce with Kinogar and the surviving Nausicaans in 2387. They became a protectorate of the Klingon Empire and settled the Nausicaa-like Kremlat in Klingon space. (TNG novel: Collateral Damage)

• Remans:
  • Following the political upheaval and destabilization of the Romulan Star Empire in the aftermath of Praetor Shinzon's coup in 2379, including a failed relocation from the desolate Remus to a location on Romulus, the Remans were allowed to resettle somewhere outside the Eisn star system. In 2380, they settled on Klorgat IV and became a protectorate within the Klingon Empire. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)
  • They also established Crateris Colony, which remained within the borders of the Romulan Star Empire. (STO - From the Ashes mission: "Crossroad at Crateris")

• Romulans:

The knowledge of their origin became an information of strategic value during the Earth-Romulan War. (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
  • In 2409, Proconsul of the Romulan Republic D'Tan hoped that after losing their first homeworld to remain free, losing the second homeworld due to treachery, that New Romulus or Mol'Rihan would be the world that that the Romulans had sought for so long.

• Vulcans:
  • Following the destruction of Vulcan in the Kelvin timeline, the Vulcans founded the colony of New Vulcan on the second planet of the Simon-316 star system, following its selection by Spock Prime in early 2258, and after the previous proposed colony-site at Ceti Alpha V was deemed too risky to settle, due to its future fate being made known to the Vulcan High Council by the elder Spock via mind-meld. (TOS - Legacy of Spock comic: "Part 4")
