GZG Encyclopedia.

I've recently joined the list. and just read the mail about the 'pedia.
And was 
wondering what
nations/factions whatever need someone to help write a bit of a history
for one 
them?
I'd do a write up for the faction which i play most of my games as, but
i don't 
feel there is much need for yet another alien race (insectiod race).

Also as a side note, are there any factions that use alot/or feel that
needle 
beams are an effective main armament for their ships.

Cheers
Graeme
