Oh yes, names are such a pain to make out. Random generators might be useful there with some changes afterwards.

As for history, you could consider such questions: for how long your species has been developed? (That is also the length of their history) Were they people waging wars or more peaceful folks, asking questions before killing? Did they discover space travel centuries ago or was it only a recent discovery? Were there changes in the society, the behaviour, the beliefs, along the course of history? A turning point in history?

I tend to believe the Biologic part is the hardest, what can you say about the organism of an alien species? There isn't much to say usually, except if your Empire is featuring subspecies for instance. Or perhaps I am not imaginative about such fields.

And look at your race set up. Basically your using the description to explain the who , what , where and when of you race. THe why will come out in game play.

Or you can just copy one of the current ones out there for the 200 races around. Cut and paste one together. THen as this game goes along update it.

Does not have to be a novel. Just something to read during contact. And for how to react during rp.

For Race names... I like using city names from other countries. Or Famous People from other cultures. Hence the Vassili. Which is based on a Russian Genreal who was involved at Stalingrad and also the name of a famous sniper. So all the names of people and planets and cities are all Russian names from ww2 era.

Thanks for the advice, everybody, but my biggest problem is not having the mod. Any help there?

The mod download is still offline since Fyron's site is down for at least a few more days. I don't have the most recent copy, but if one of the other players has got it, perhaps they can e-mail it to me?

If the latest Version is 1.00.02 I could send it via e-mail to you, or to anybody interested for that matter. (Edited because the Spelling Fairy struck again)
