I've a Question concerning some of the Pirate faction ships.

Most I understand though Sansha and Angel Cartel ships are a mystery.
Sansha ships are Amarr Caldari where the Caldari Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship bonus is a Damage bonus on energy turrets???
And the Angel Cartel ships have a Gallente bonus on projectile turret fall off/tracking???

Does this have any reason/purpose what so every or just invented so you need to train two skills and those two were drawn from the big hat or there was something in the back-story about the specific nations though they decided not to show that influence in the ship itself because it would suck otherwise?

There was a reason for having both of the racial skills required, because the pirates are effectively split races. However, as to the bonuses themselves, I would guess that it was something like "We want the Sansha ships to have tracking and damage bonuses per level. The require Amarr and Caldari skills. One gets a bonus from Amarr, one for Caldari".
