1) info: The neutral pack currently adds three new neutral races to the game. They do not come with their own shipsets and will use the default shipset instead, none of the races will leave their home system.
The neutral pack currently contains three races: The Jirwick, the Othosk and the Tjondrelm all use random names in the game (but use their race name for their population)

I'm not planning to create any shipsets or AI for these races, since I do not have coding, or 3d moddeling skills. I do plan to add more neutral races in the future. 
The portraits in this neutral pack are free for use if you want to create a shipset for them. If a complete shipset is made for one of these races, I will remove that race from the neutral pack, so that they can live on as a true race. 


2) Installation : The neutral pack is an add-on and not a stand alone mod, you do not have to create a new mod to use it, and it should be compatible with any mod that has a functioning default AI.
To add the Neutral pack to your mod or stock game of SEV you only have to extract the zip file into the \empires directory of the stock game or the mod of your choice. 

You should now be able to use the new race portraits and/or flag when you create your own race. There's also a chance that the game will add the new neutral races as a neutral computer player to your games (if you have neutral races switched on). There's no guarantee that they will be added to every game, it depends on the number of neutral races the computer adds and the number of neutral races available.
