I quite like the 'lore' description (wonder if we'll have GNN-bot again?) but it needs to be grounded in something I can look at and understand without having to guess. Also, weirdly I'm not sure about the unit profile pics. As ship designs get weird and wonderful (or conversely just add another 3 guns to an existing design) that's gonna look

Altarian Resistance? More like Asari resistance. Pretty but doesn't look 'identical' to humans to me.
