I don't mean to be rude, Carno, but haven't we heard that crack about the Voinians and the Azdgari a lot? I mean, it would be a great alliance, but they live on opposite sides of the galaxy. And besides, who ever heard of the Voinians being allies with another race? They're xenophobic!
Anyway, I think the Azdgari are the best strand. you might say that since they don't control many systems, that they will eventually lose to, say, the Igadzra. But the Azdgari are totally mobile, (galactic nomads) so they're probably better off having a renegadeish territory.
