I think I've seen a similar game idea pop up here before, where the owner of a race's capital (the HW) controls that race. Leads to some interesting shifts in the game dynamic - the HW becomes a true 'king piece', capture it and you steal their whole empire.

Much simpler and easier to admin. Make all the races 'passwordless' and give the current occupier of each HW the right to change the upload password for the race that was based off that HW.

There's no scope for 'rebellion' as such, although there is the potential for a third race to in turn capture that HW to steal the race off the original conqueror.

Removes any issues about 'who gets control' - it simply becomes 'who can get population on the HW'. Competition to be the one to take the HW could break up alliances nicely (think USA vs USSR racing to gain control of Berlin...)
