Yes, but your other tribe ships will have to shoot at each other, except for the lone wolf ships.

Not legal. By my count you have 18 Vektreans. You're allowed one minor for each 4 Major, so that's 4 ships (not 4.5, but 4). The Indirigans counting as 1/2 ship happens after you've figured how many minors you can have. So you can have 4 minors or 8 Indirigan.

Personally, I wouldn't care though...

Eric is correct. You have 9 Indirigans and according to the letter of the
rules you'll need 20 Vektrean ships. That would of course give you one
more Indirigan you could have as well.

While I too think it should be okay to do 2:1 rather than the strict 4:2 for
Indirigans, I make sure that my builds follow the proper rule.

With that Garshain S10 you should consider putting a Former Homeworld
in your reserve.

While that is technically true. It is not how we played it way back when.

I actually thought Eric was wrong until I reread the rule.

That is correct. I've seen many decks posted and even wolfies"legal" deck was illegal. I did'nt really know that was the case until recently when I bought a galactic fire. and it specifically stated that 4 major empire ships of the decks must be stocked before any points are given for minor empires. OIt even used the indirigians cannot be used on a 2-1 but must be 4-2. etc. This might actually change some decks that I have seen or played...
