I'm going to tweak the idea slightly, making the tier 1s part of the factions which don't at present have faction ships...
Intaki Syndicate Dominix
Req Skills: Gallente Battleship 3, Caldari Battleship 3.
HP: Universally higher in keeping with existing Faction ships.
Bonuses: Special; 25% bonus to Electronic Warfare Drone Effect.
Gallente Battleship; 10% bonus to Drone Navigation Speed per level.
Caldari Battleship; 20% bonus to Remote Sensor Damper optimal Range per level.
Slot layout: 6/6/7
Reasoning: Intaki are big fans of EW, I simply liked the idea of taking this to the Dominix (which so many people complain is overpowered because of ECM multis). By adding an EW range bonus it encourages the ship out of Nos range and by boosting drone speed and EW drone effect it makes an interesting long range ship which could have annoying effects in a fleet engagement.
Sledgehammer (Mordu's Legion Scorpion)
Req Skills: Caldari Battleship 3, Gallente Battleship 3.
HP: Switch armour and shield HP, otherwise in keeping with existing Faction ships.
Bonuses: Special; 25% bonus to ECM Jammer strength.
Caldari Battleship; 20% bonus to ECM Jammer Capacitor use per level.
Gallente Battleship; 7.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret Tracking per level.
Slot layout: 6/8/5
Reasoning: Blending a Caldari (normally optimal range of something) bonus with the apparent Mordu's preference for short range was difficult - but with eight mids, a cap bonus and just about enough lowslots (and HP) to tank armour it becomes devastating with ECM Bursts  . A range boost rather than a strength bonus might be better, putting the range in the close Railgun range rather than very long Blaster range... needs some work.
The Thukker Tribe Typhoon would be interesting but I'm somewhat stuck for ideas on it ATM. I would probably link the Minmatar skill with Amarr as the 'phoon is armour tanked, perhaps in the form of improved repair amount on armour reps akin to the Brutix.
The only problem is that the equivalent faction for the Amarr is the Khanid Kingdom, in effect they already have a fair number of Faction ships, most of them complained about on a regular basis  .
Other possibilities include the Sister Servant's Dominix (Remote Armour Repair and Logistics drone bonuses, Gallente BS only).
