I can touch on a few of these.

Sadly, your first suggestion is both accurate … but also inaccurate. While I won’t go into details here, the primary realization of the Inusannon and the Tho’ian was very much in line with their cultures. While I usually despise the idea of racial stereotyping and having ‘hats’, the Inusannon were, sadly, primary defined by one thing.

Trolling. No, really.

Your suggestion certainly fits their culture, but Vigil’s existence and the plans they told him about are actually the exact opposite of your suggestion.

Jack’s Imprisonment: stop sneaking into my house and reading my notes, dammit.

A good listing of the Terminus Systems is an EVENTUAL nice idea of the Cerberus files, but there are basically two main power blocks. The Traverse is a completely separate beast from the Terminus Systems. The Traverse is primarily infested with ‘small scale’ threats — local warlords like Helena Blake and Nassana Dantilus’s sister, along with independant turian, human, and batarian settlements. Given the distances and the masss relay topography, there’s no real powers in the region that can reliably move in but such scum — the Turians could, but they’re overextended already. The Terminus Systems, on the other hand, are ‘larger scale’ threats — much more powerful warlords who control multiple systems.

A document about the economy of the Terminus is an idea I had not given thought to. Some of the economy is actually semilegit — especially in terms of mining, HE3 refining, and the like. Some of the illegalities are literally industries. The biggest things — red sand, hallex, psychotropics, illegal weapons, and tainted eezo — are simply so profitable that under the table deals have prevented serious attempts to stop them.

The WMD of the Premiseverse basically falls into three catagories: nanonic weapons (black and gray nano), tiered kinetic impact multipliers, and exotica. There is little reference to such because the Council frowns extremely hard on the use of such and they are much more difficult to obtain and maintain than simmpler biological or chemical agents.

Black nano is nanotech designed to primarly replicate itself inside living creatures, to tear apart a living being from the inside out to produce more of itself and a toxic, explosive or otherwise hyperlethal vector. Some black nano simulates blood, nerve or toxic agents like the shit Shepard used in OsABC I. Other uses are more virulent — some begins converting some fats to a form of nitroglycerin, others alter body acidity. The reason it’s called ‘black’ is that there are no positive or constructive applications for it.

Gray nano is dissassembler pattern nanotech, that breaks down inorganic compounds to form others. While not as badass as turning a bunch of junk into a hovertank, it is often used in battlefield cleanup to break things down to something that can be converted to omnigel. It is restricted mostly due to fears of gray goo outbreaks, even if it is tightly programmed and limited to prevent such. At times gray nano has been ‘hacked’ to make the stuff it turns inorganic compounds into a weapon, such as nanotech that turns most armor compounds into, say, strong acids.

The array of kinetic impact augmentation devices is extremely long and will result in the Council going apeshit on your ass. The most restricted thing , of course, is slamming pure antimatter packets into planets for any reason, or radioactive products such as strontium or thorium that will poison a biosphere for centuries. Krogan pioneered the tactics — relaying or FTLing into a system, firing a hail of such rounds from a mass accelerator and retreating before defenders can respond. Such impactors can wreak untold damage beyond the mere blast of a kinetic impactor.

Exotica includes things like the human’s Kyle class torpedoes (or the asari Ancient class missiles, which are twice the power and can be fucking ripple fired, but are actually old leftover inusannnon devices). Salarian exotica tends to be complicated, eezo driven phase shift constructs that can erupt into plasma bombs literally tens of miles in diameter, while the turian love of particle packets has resulted in advanced weapons that are like siege-class particle acceleration cannons, scaled up to throw anitparticles at a signifigant fraction of C. Exotica is disliked by the Council as it is a disruptive technology — as seen in ATTWN, if one can absorb the ruinous cost of such, a fleet equipped with Kyle Class torpedoes can punch WELL above its weight.
