Eridani Star Union 
Description
The Eridani Star Union is an association of autonomous worlds and agencies with a unified foreign policy.
Biological Description
The Eridani evolved from a species of neutral buoyancy cephlapods that inhabit the upper strata of their gas giant homeworld. The Eridani language is one of colors and is difficult to translate, but they are patient when teaching it. They use their extraordinary facility with organic chemistry to adapt themselves for off-world travel.
 Society Description
The Eridani govern themselves with a light touch and are respectful of other intelligent races. They are extremely curious and have no qualms about tinkering with the genetic makeup of plants and animals.
 General History Description
A society of individuals, the Eridani history is one of peaceful development, with conflicts largely limited to the intellectual plane. Understanding that the rest of the galaxy relies on other arbiters, the Eridani worked to develop their defensive capabilities before moving deeply into space.

Notes:

A cool race I was sent a looong time ago and has been installed on my system ever since.
I corrected the author's email now.

This Race Style has been made by Michael Puttre. I've posted it in my site with the author consent. If you have a site, and you want to host it, you should contact the author first.

Version:

Last updated/revised/compiled: 12/5/2001

Installation:

If you have the full version, unzip all files into a folder named "eridani" in your "...\Space Empires IV\Pictures\Races\" folder.
Also move or copy "Warheads.txt" to your "...\Space Empires IV\Dsgnname\" folder.
(Note that I didn't save any directory structure in the .zip file. In my experience that is harder to do and seems to generate more confusion than help. I named the .zip file "eridani.zip" since most popular zip-manager-programs use the name of the .zip file as default extract path.)
If you're using the demo, the problem is that the demo has the option to install new race styles disabled. The only way to try any new race styles before having the full version of the game is by renaming all the files to overwrite one of the existing ones.
May the Force be with you.
