Minor Faction Ships

I really liked in Endless Legend how when you assimilate a minor faction that you get their units. I think Minor Factions should have units that you can build once they are assimilated. I am not sure if the current Minor factions have their own ships at all though.

This idea exists in the form of the ability to buy other faction ships in the marketplace. https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/ideas/525-how-about-being-able-to-recruit-minor-faction-ships-units
