Well... As title says...who cares what it says, if there is such word as HOMEWORLD!
I think, that almost everybody know, that is it Homeworld, and I think, that a lot of people like it, and play all 3 games still in our days, and will do it in future.
The last game, made in Homeworld univers saw the world in 2003, like Freelancer.
However, nothing, more than rumors (unbased) were about making Homeworld 3.
Most popular for modding, was homeworld 2 (Homeworld does not need mods, it's magic as it is), as freelancer. Many of us knows such popular mods, like Complex (greatly advancing original homeworld 2 (something similar with discovery )), FX mod (adding many races, like Turanics, Taidan Emp, Kadeshi, Progenitors), TFS- aiming mainly on combat, and many others.
Well... dunno what else to say, Im just gona throw a link... where you will find all great info about new project, which, let's hope, will bring back good old gaming experience, which we had from Homeworld series.
Yeah, I am stoked for this. That, and the HD releases of HW1 and 2.
Gearbox made a great decision to loan the Homeworld IP to Blackbird (Which apparently spawned Blackbird hiring more ex-relic employees) , realizing that the guys who made Homeworld deserve to continue making gorgeous games in the same universe.

Oh, right, how I could forget to mention it. There is also information, about both games are about to be re-released in HD.
Btw... there is mod, I already have mentioned- FX. They made very great job by re-modeling original Taidan fleet. Hope, new HD remake will be at least, not worse.

Mod is kinda old, and I don't remember, how it was called.
Discovery 4.83 till 4.85 and ...that huge mod with a lot of sci-fi themes mixed up.
Aside of this (damn, I'm so off-top), I would love mod set in the Cataclysm Era (15-16 AHL). About those factions in such imaginary mod, I would point out that those would replace Houses, as there's in a lot of sub-factions, like Kiith for Hiigarans, Imperial Navy has a lot of subdivisions, like Imperial Guard or Border Fleet. Even Turanic Raiders have three or four subfactions. Plus The Beast also consists of two forces: The Mothership Fleet and Naggarok Fleet (Original Beast).
