Hey guys, Eureka here with some quick suggestions.

Why don't we each detail what our nation's specialties, perks, and tendencies are. Basically, each race would have some special thing to them, one special quality that is very substantial in the way it fights, but it also has techniques and technologies and strategems beneath that. I'll give the Orcs and Humans as an example.

Orcs:

Specialty: Nuclear weaponry. The Orcs have found a single planet orbiting a white star. It is the single largest non-gas planet ever located. A curious reaction is continually going within it's core, a reaction that is continually converting other materials into Uranium and Plutonium. And so the Orcs have conquered that planet and perfected nuclear technology, and have literally built their ships around it. They use monstrous railguns sticking out of the front of their ships to propel huge nuclear shells at enormous velocity toward their enemies. They also have a weapon called a gun rack, which is composed of a great number of much smaller railguns as broadsides that propel less powerful nuclear shells at the enemy. The downside to these nuclear weapons is that their fire arc is limited to directly ahead, as they are without turrets or rotating weaponry.

Race standards: Due to the fact that the ship is almost totally centered around one massive railgun, there is no room for things such as shields or fighter bays. The Orcish Federation doesn't have as much in the way of fighter craft as other nations. Only their designated carriers are capable of fighter-carrying. In order to counter the disadvantage that comes from lack of shields or defensive fighters, the Federations developed special ablative armor to defend their ships. Their ships are also built with multiple redudnancies, and thus take more shots to kill. Their ships are also not very fast, but their railgun weaponry can be effective from long range. The main issue is getting them into alignment with the enemy vessel. The Orcs, despite their slow speed, also make prodigious use of mines. Unlike other mines, their mines are nuclear.

So, basically do that for your nation. I'll do the Imperium of Man soon.
