Y'all post too much.

The newfish can improve; I see no reason to immediately ban him or any such nonsense.

Also, Vlad, I like the Moths-as-Gretchin idea quite a bit.

The largest I'd go is one kilometre, possibly 1 and a 1/2.

For the Super Star Destroyer of course, the Executor Command and Control Capital Ship that'll never leave my home system.

So should I go with space moths or not-Orks as the dominant species? I'm really torn on this.

Yes. I've previously described it as an extremely potent powder substance often used as a party drug by the galaxy's affluent classes.

In humans it can be described as similar to cocaine and ecstasy, though far more addictive than either and far more powerful in effects. Other species may react different to it, based on differing biology.

Well, I have discovered a new way to make a quick buck.

How big can capital ships be? Because my largest capital ship is 2 miles long.

Not-Orks, assuming they're the stupider and more barbaric race. You'd have a completely different vibe if only the foot soldiers were savages, with smart moths calling the shots.

Okay, good... My smallest ship is 1km, so I guess I'll have a bunch of those. A battlefleet of Sequencers complimenting a colony fleet would work.

Most Imperial ships are about aren't that big, but we do have this moon-length dreadnought with triple Armageddon cannons, which shoot meteorites. Of course, it was heavily damaged during the Fed invasion 800 years ago and is still just sitting there, with only basic maintenance.

The general idea is that the not-Moths created the not-Orks, with the not-Orks eventually enslaving not-Moths. The not-Orks (which are the Hunzoi) are not really stupid, though they are quite savage and obsessed with personal honour and fighting. There's some things I'm going to change just so they're different enough from Orks.

Deal. Some government officials and pirate factions will take it, and they will be selling the drug in secret.

Warp dust, as well as Hesh Tofegfaleshth (our own drug) are used in great abundance on Shollog. It's funny, they have almost the complete opposite effects.

That sounds pretty neat, as long as the not-Orkz are running the show.

I understand. Just try to avoid the Jericho Navy and the Federation fleets in Jericho space, as they will stop and search your ships.
