Default Scenario and Map-Making Resources?

Are there any helper programs or hints people have speeding up the creation of maps and scenarios? Building an entire galaxy in the map-maker is EXTREMELY tedious, regardless of whether you start from scratch, or randomly generate a map and then edit it. Is there anything out there that can accelerate this process? I'd especially like a system randomizer. I.e., placing actual systems in the map editor and naming them, then randomly generating the contents of the SYSTEM.

As for making scenarios, there seems to be no way to place/create ships, establish communications and demeanors, etc. You have to manually run turns for all the races you want to configure until you get things the way you want them, which takes hours. Suggestions?


EDIT: I recently downloaded the SW Rebellion Mod, and want to play a game in the actual SW galaxy, with conditions and whatnot set so that the Empire plays like the Empire, and the Rebels play like the Rebels. This has required extensive work on the (almost non-existant) AI files and other tweaks and cleaning up to suit my impression of Star Wars.
