You have inspired a quote, good sir, for one of my heroes:
"This is the truth of war. Twelve mangy dogs can kill a lion."
— Doge Carcius, on Undead.
I don't think people addressed this when I asked about army size earlier, but one of my main weaknesses is the fact I have less numbers than most. This is even evident despite the fact that about 2/3rds of a Dwarf hold population is fighting fit, contrasting the usual (historical) 1/4th of a human settlement is. So just keep in mind that if you ever fight my guys, and you don't specify that your force is small, generally I'll assume your army size is bigger than mine. My main focus is a moderate to low size army made up of powerful/elite units.
If my time in Warhammer Total War has taught me anything, it's that any problem can be solved by finding the right amount of skeletons to throw at it.
I can fix Arrak's warp blade. Goatmen I'll cut out since I agree with you, and they just don't fit with Dark Elves. Werebears, I think should stay. They are technically Beastmen, yes, but they come from a race of Beastmen that was isolated from the other tribes for hundreds of years.
The truth is, I went into this Roleplay with what's solely an idea. The Stormtrooper's side of things. However, one of the main issues with this, after the fact, was the idea that each of us individualized our soldiers to the extent of making them into different classifications; no one's fault, but my own. I thought it would be grand, but hadn't thought about just what would force us together.
This leads us to the starship on which we've opened up, and the dilemma which arises with it. I have heard alot of outlandish, downright mythical elements within the Star Wars Universe, but to have a vessel torn asunder in deep space sort of destroys the possibilities of survival; however, a small group of rebels successfully sabotaging a vessel of this size is equally bizarre, despite the fact that I initially suggested it.
Now, I believe that since they are this far out in deep space, I highly doubt they'll be fighting rebels to begin with. In these distant realms of the universe, we can create whatever we wanted; which brings me to my next idea, and likely one which may seem possible, in all honesty.
A pitched battle in the depths of space, above a contested planet, would likely result in the destruction of the vessel, as well as the survival of a select few. What occurs within the vessel, whether it be boarded, forced to crashland or downright blown up in space, would still allow for the survival of a few, if they worked fast enough. You'll have to forgive my absence; I've basically roleplayed only sparingly since school began. GM'ing what was basically an idea with no direction has proven more difficult than I've expected, though now, I am not surprised.
So, my deepest condolences to all those who've bickered over this lack of continuity; if this idea settles with either agreeing parties, we can roll with it.
@ClocktowerEchosOgres in this game actually being not!Uruk-Hai?
Yay or nay?
@RisenDeadYour NS mentions Ogres in your army. Although your unit list only has giants I ask you, would it be okay if my "black orcs" are considered the Ogres?
I don't even mind if you feature a different tribe of them later. Just asking if it'd conflict anywhere with your RP plans.

I actually found Lurtz strangely attractive!
:p

Uruk is a good name for many reasons to me. I just feared it might lead to unitentional confusion.
Well, I am fine with intentional confusion like nations confusing Uruks with the Orruks or in (less likely) the reverse.
So Oquers is neither to my liking nor it'd solve much, I am afraid.
Albeit this gave me a strange idea. Does any of the nations using Ogres?
Ogre is a man-eating "giant" in folklore and while fantasy often puts them as half-giants perhaps making my race the Ogres of this setting could be fitting.
Ogurz would be the specific term but Ogre or Black Orc references would be also common.
What do you think?

@ClocktowerEchosIt just struck me.
Should I come up a different name for my not!-orcs?
I mean they look nothing like @Lauder's.
They are big and muscular but aren't built almost as wide as they are tall. Their anatomy is pretty much human-like.
Orruk and Uruk also sound nearly the same.
Albeit perhaps we can explain this with the two races sharing a common ancestors from the distant past?
What do you think?
You just want to make this a normal real world army operation but instead of having bullet guns we have laser ones. The ideas were not stupid, even if they had a small chance of happening and what's the problem with that anyway? You see a shit ton of special predicaments with a very unlikely chance of happening in the comics and TV Cartoons. Why should this Rp be about generic troopers with a generic objective?
One more thing, if we go with your plan and have a "smooth crash landing" thousands of troopers are bound to survive it. And taking into equation that we belong in different divisions and units, we would be separated given separate orders by our superiors. The whole point of this Rp is for that 0.001℅ to survive the destruction of the ship and join with the few other survivors. This way we're all in the same place, alone, with no damn giant army backing us up.
A few* rebels masking as Stormtroopers which manage to first-mess with the hyperspace drive and then second-destroy the ship's systems making it crash??? That's even more idiotic. I mean just think about it, a Super Star Destroyer, one of the largest warships ever designed which also served as a command ships with a crew of at least* 280k, taken down by a little group of rebel infiltrators???
