Many of you have never played Homeworld; that's a shame, but I'm not here to make you feel guilty about it. The game comes with a set of lovely pdf documents. One is called "Historical and Technical Briefing" and you should absolutely take a minute to download it and skim it to see if you might be interested in reading it. The level of detail put into developing this science fiction is quite wonderful; the vast majority of the information here is in no way present within the game. That is not to say that the game does not represent a great sci-fi work itself.

Anyway, check this out. It's biblical stuff. The Historical and Technical Briefing is here and I've also uploaded the Gameplay Guide here; this is really just the instruction manual proper, but they are part of a set and there is some ship and technology information in the latter as well.

Something else I have uploaded is this old program called Tutor DOS. Unsurprisingly, it is a tutorial for DOS. Now, I know we've all moved on a bit since those days, but you should really check it out anyway because it's charming as hell and you'll probably get a nostalgia kick besides. You can grab it here; just unzip everything to the same folder and run the exe.

I really wish they didn't find it necessary to put advertisements on the back.

Also I was envisioning the cover in that solid blue of the pdf's first page.
