A quick rundown:
It creates a galaxy with (one of) every kind of planet type and atmosphere except NONE. They are all the same size and same resource percentages. No nebulas, asteroid fields, black hole systems, etc. One asteroid field in each system...@ 300% for every resource. All planets are 100%. No moons (as there are no NONE atmospheres). So, in short, no matter what colony type and atmos you take, you are sure to have 3 dome chances in every system and one breathable. It's considered a way to remove a bit more of the luck from a game and I've played on it several times. I like the balance. Others dislike the excitement of knowing what's in each system...Primitive, for one, I believe.
