All three sound like interesting ideas, but I'd go with Whalandria to start with. While it has some bits that sound similar to the Pern books (the relationship between humans and another species) it does sound like a rather colorful world. Warbirds sounds like it might be harder to pull off since you have to have characters who aren't human react in a self logical manner. And Empire sounds a lot like a variation on Star Wars. Not that it couldn't be done of course. There was a movie some yrs back called "Starchaser: the legend of Orin" which had some bits like Star Wars but which I thought was pretty good. (It was animated rather than live).
