well, if that was the case (which I'm CERTAIN it ISN'T) wouldn't they try to make buddy buddy with us? I mean, they would want help with fighting their enemy then right?

Perhaps the Actual origins of the name nephilim has a bearing on their origins in the game... or maybe not.
The word nephilim in it's origin means fellers, or in other words, those who cause others to fall. They were basicaly a group of superhuman thugs that bullied the pre-flood biblical world. They were the hybrid offspring of Angels and human women. A group of angels or "gods" rebel angainst the only true "God" (with a capital G) and They start staring at the human women (can you blame them? a world full of near perfect women?). Anyway they materialize into human form and take wives, hence have sex with, of the human women. The result is the Half-breeds they call Nephilim. The nephilim wreak havock, murder, rape etc. When God sends the flood to destroy mankind (with the exception of noah and his family, the nephilim are destroyed as well. The materialized angels return to their spirit form only to be banished by "GOD" to tartarus, a state of nonexistence.
Maybe the prophecy Nephilim are some form of Half breed hybrid of a "stargod" and a leser race that went on a vengeful conquest! Maybe we'll still see that other much talked about other race that defeated the, I forget but I think it's in privateer. Maybe the nephilims parents show up to give them a deserved spanking?

(...)The Bismark and the Yamato were both alone in their classes. Larger ships could be a standard class that has several ships. We only saw one class of carrier, one class of destroyer/cruisers. Confed has at least six classes of carriers alone. If you agree that it was a recon fleet, then it is likely that they have heavier versions of classifications of ships.

Ah, how can one say that the Star Wars novels aren't 'canon' when they have been licensed by Lucas or his company or whatever. The majority do fit well together, especially with Zahn's and Stackpole's work shining the brightest, IMHO. But that's another debate...

Just to add my insight on this little point, the Star Wars books ARE considered canon.

Star Trek on the other hand, do not count the novels as canon (nor the Animated Series), but computer/console games (nowadays) are canon.
Just thought i'd add my knowledge to that.
