Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a real-time strategy computer game under development by Blackbird Interactive, published by Gearbox Software and scheduled for release on January 20, 2016. It is a prequel to the 1999 space-based real-time strategy video game Homeworld.

Gearbox Software bought the intellectual property rights to the Homeworld franchise during THQ's bankruptcy auction in 2013. Following this, they announced that they were remaking both Homeworld and Homeworld 2, released on Steam in February 2015 as Homeworld Remastered Collection.

After obtaining the IP rights, Gearbox granted permission for use of the Homeworld IP to Blackbird Interactive, a company formed by members of the original Homeworld development team in 2007. At the time, Blackbird was developing a ground-based RTS game entitled Hardware: Shipbreakers, which was subsequently renamed Homeworld: Shipbreakers and announced as a prequel to Homeworld. On December 16, 2015, the game was officially announced as Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. The game also became available for pre-order on Steam on that date. Pre-orders of Deserts of Kharak will also include the Homeworld Remastered Collection for free, while those who already own the Homeworld Remastered Collection will receive a discount for their pre-order of Deserts of Kharak.

The game is set on the desert planet of Kharak, the home-in-exile of the Kushan (Hiigaran) people, 114 years prior to the events of Homeworld. Kharak is a dying world, the desert growing larger with each passing year, and the Kushan clans regularly war amongst one another. Then a satellite detects an object in the Great Banded Desert, known as the Jaraci Object, or the "primary anomaly" - revealed in Homeworld and Homeworld 2 to be the wreckage of the ancient starship Khar-Toba. Expeditions are sent by the Coalition of the Northern Kiithid into enemy territory to investigate, one of them under the leadership of chief science officer Rachel S'jet.

The expedition departs from Epsilon Base in the Kharakian desert, centered around the Kiith S'jet land carrier Kapisi. Shortly after the expedition departs, however, several Coalition bases, including Epsilon, are attacked and destroyed by Kiith Gaalsien, a group of zealots exiled from mainstream Kharakian society; the Gaalsien then attack the expedition at a S'jet salvage yard while the Kapisi is undergoing final outfitting.
