Well, here are the Raiek Techs:
Thoron light turret and cannon: Standard armament of the Raiek. excellent damage, good range, good accuracy.
Thoron Javelin: (bring back memories?) Unguided Projectile... Great accuracy, Great Damage, Great Speed, decent reload.
Thoron Javelin Turret: Javelin mounted on a 360 degree turret. Faster Reload than standard launcher.
Thoron Bomb: Standard bomb, no launcher required, small angines used to halt movement after launched, Small size, but good damage and nearly impossible to avoid, when released, seem to form a veritable cloud of explosives, doing damage to and ships that pass through. leak and self-destruct after about a day. Useful for taking out enemy fighters.
Thoron Beam: Extremely powerful beam weapon. Takes only a few minutes to charge up, Drains fuel ever so slightly. Can fire to a 180 degree arc to the front.
(planetray bombardment- destroys a planet in 4 hours IE few battle posts)
Ships:
Raiek Bomber: Falsely named, the bomber is the only Raiek ship that can be called a fighter, but even so, it's maneuverability doesn't compare to other races. poor shields, poor armor, arrmed to the teeth with 1 thoron cannon, and one javelin launcher w/ 8 javelins.
Raiek Gunship: Poor shields for it's size, this ship is mostly used for destroying marauding fighter craft. Armed with 2 Thoron cannons, 2 Javelin launchers, usually around 15 javelins.
Raiek Warfrigate: Maneuverable and Well shielded compared to other Raiek ships, but still poor. Ship that the bombs were designed for. Maneuverable for a raiek ship, but still sadly lacking. 3 Thoron turrets, 2 Javelin turrets, 40 Javelins (room for 45), 50 bombs.
Raiek Carrier: Designed to deliver Bombers and Gunships to the front lines. Carries 12 bombers and 7 gunships. Also light defence in the form of 3 Thoron turrets, 25 bombs to protect fighters, 1 Thoron beam (not used for ground assualts), and 3 Javelin turrets w/ 30 javelins, but it's poor maneuverability depends on protection from frigates and it's carried ships.
Raiek Dreadnought: Ship to be feared by all enemies of the Raiek. The Only Raiek ship with decent shielding. Debated to be most powerful ship in the galaxy (excluding base ships). Causes total chaos with 8 Thoron turrets, 7 Javelin Turrets, 85 Javelins, 2 (independent- one for ship defense and one for planetary bombardment) Thoron Beams, 60 bombs.
Raiek have immensely powerful weoponry, but lack heavily in shields. Raiek Philosophy is: "I'll kill you before you can get a hit off."
bombs are realeased as a defensive measure more than offense, and with several frigates in a system, mines fill the system quickly. Offensively, the engines can be taken off for no less damage, but to make them drift toward an enemy from parent ship's enertia..
Weopons are more dangerous than they sound.

I'd go with a constant beam - better at planetary bombardment.
