If I might make a suggestion? You appear to have named the races representing the various factions along the lines of Empire, Rebellion, Confederacy, et cetera. It might look better if you were to use the adjectival form of these nouns, so that instead of leading the "Empires," you would be leading the "Imperials;" instead of leading the "Rebellions," you'd be leading the "Rebels;" instead of leading the "Confederacys," you'd be leading the "Confederates." It might look a bit better for the game start screen, and I doubt it would confuse people.

(Thrawn) {i}s no longer cannon ?
My understanding of Star Wars canon is that the stuff that's in the licensed works is canonical unless it contradicts the stuff in some more canonical work, and anything which contradicts something in the movies is not canon. Since Thrawn appears in works set in the late-Old Republic and throughout the Galactic Empire period, I would say that it isn't so much that Thrawn himself is not canonical as that the works which speak to his actions post-Battle of Endor are non-canonical. But if someone can point to something reasonably official that says that Thrawn himself is not a canonical character, then I can't really contradict that.
I would also say that since we don't know exactly what the new Disney movies are going to contain, we cannot necessarily assume that their existence takes Thrawn out of the canon (more to the point, while the new movies may take some portions of Thrawn's actions out of the canon, they do not necessarily take the entire character out of the canon), and regardless you're free to chose any Star Wars stuff regardless of its canonical status.
