Kushan refers to a race playable by the protagonist, which appears in all three games of the Homeworld series of computer games, developed by Relic Entertainment and Barking Dog Studios,

The Kushan was a powerful empire divided into extended families called kiithid, centered on the planet of Hiigara before they fell from grace in a war and were exiled from their world on pain of death. Some of them hid in the Nebula of Kadesh while others fled to the planet of Kharak where they forgot their origins and became similar to the Bedouin in terms of culture and religion.

Later they discovered they were not really from Kharak when they found the ruins of an ancient starship, the Khar-Toba, and within it a map to their home. Building a giant colony ship called the Mothership they went on their way to return home before discovering their ancient enemies, the Taiidan Empire who were determined to destroy them.

After returning to their homeworld and destroying the Taiidan Empire, the Kushan lived out their life and recovered from the war, fighting other fights as explained in . One hundred years after returning they were forced to meet a new enemy in Homeworld 2.
