Delecti? (wow, gee, that's wonderful :-) Sun Dome?
They don't get a dragon (but in the scenario the other don't either) but how about Cragspider without dragon? Not politically correct I suspect. Ethilrist would be the more likely I would think if you're adding a major independent.

AND they have to deploy first so don't get to see the other's deployment before their own. They do get to choose the moon though.
