Please do not laugh at this idea, it is my first.

The Strands do not even talk to the Strandless. So they "created" their own Strand. The Gadzrai are made up of many of the Strandless who wanted the luxury of having a name. The name had a few extra things included however. Those things were much better technology, money, and a dangerous war with all three other Strands...
Any being who wants to is allowed to fight with them against their enemies. Namely, the Igzarda, the Zidagar, and the Azdgari.

Any suggestions? Should I just scrap the idea? Thank you for anyone who even reads this.

Keep with the idea, it sounds good to me.

I think a new strand formed from the strandless sounds good. They'd have to have really good new ships though, on account of there being loads of renegades around the strandless systems.
Actually, maybe some of the renegades could join with them, or they could at some point become allies. A cunning web of deciet spun around surprise renegade attacks...

I had an idea about a Strandless Strand myself last week.

Here's how to make them super strong:

Give their Arada a fighter bay. You'll crush loads of people.

Give them a Crescent Warship modified ship with 5 or so fighters.

You also may want to throw in a tid bit of the best technology from each strand. Namely the phased beam from the Zidagar, or the shield rechargers from the Adzgardi. But if you really want to be creative make up your own weapons!

New challenges, new technologies... but it'd be a shame to make the game unbalanced by offering outfits that make the player significantly more powerful than the AIs in the game.

I would suggest that a substantial new mission set should require that some or all of the central objectives muct be completed before the player can get onto this mission string... that way, it won't matter if the player acquires a piece of equipment which would have been a real dreadnought-slayer (or whatever) because the dreadnought is already dead.
