Somebody from Trevor's Star would be almost impossible to cast convincingly, and somebody like Thandi (who has every "African" racial trait except a high melanin count)) would require so much makeup that it would probably fall flat.

Something animated would probably be the best bet.


As for the visual scale problem, that's not insurmountable. The distances could be fudged if need be, you could use the old "show one ship firing and cut to the other getting hit" technique, use an extreme zoom-out, or just show battles almost entirely from CIC.
The guy who plays The Mountain might make a convincing San Martino.
