Seems interesting. I like the write up and how you intermingled the 5.0 story ark for AI into everything. Well done.
Another AI faction I would research, if you're interested that is, are the Harvesters which were the OG AI faction on the server from many many years ago (the AI ships were originally made for them if memory serves). There isn't any one faction document as it was either lost to time or never created during the wild west days of the server, but there are plenty of other documents about them if you wanted to research or get other ideas.
Looking forward to seeing how you guys develop in the future! Best of luck!
