==<br /> Company Info ==

<blockquote>
Relic was founded in May 1997 by [[Alex Garden]], [[Luke Moloney]], [[Erin Daly]], [[Aaron Kambeitz]], [[Rob Cunningham]], [[Gary Shaw]], and [[Shane Alfreds]]. The name of the company was chosen because they liked the name and it was easy to pronounce. Their first title, [[Homeworld]], was released on September 28, 1999 to critical acclaim and successful sales. Though they did not immediately continue working on the franchise ([[Sierra Entertainment]], the game's publisher, owned the rights), the game did have a spin-off, [[Homeworld: Cataclysm]], developed by [[Barking Dog Studios]] and published by Sierra. 

Relic Entertainment Inc. (formerly known as THQ Canada Inc.) is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver, founded in 1997. The studio specializes in real-time strategy games and is known for series such as Homeworld, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes. Acquired by THQ in 2004, the company was sold to Sega on January 22, 2013 as part of THQ's bankruptcy. Relic Entertainment became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sega Europe.
