I can definitely see them as being one of the minor races, this is good stuff. At first upon your original description, i thought they were going to be more like the 'Hanar' from the mass effect universe. I'm glad i was proven wrong. I like non humanoid races! They are probably dealt with at a distance by Humans, due to their strange looks :)
So for this intergalactic alliance of species- United Galactic Conference[Council?] sound good? Run by a council with one elected official from each race that serves as the council representative for the conference. Named councilman/woman. Not necessarily the same person as the primary leader of that race's government.
like a democratic republic, i'm thinking.
Honestly i'm okay with each of the proposed races having a council seat if the creators of those races are- especially if they are numerous and communal/forward thinking/mostly benevolent.

Sounds like we all want to work on the same ship. Excellent. I think that sounded pretty concise.
I'd like to take a vote for things here out-
- So are we the only crewmembers on the ship? Like a light freighter that can be manned by 5-6 people? Or something larger- like a large freighter/ small carrier- where our group works as a cohesive unit under command of a larger group? Or something in between- where we work from a moderate sized ship that has our characters, as well as maybe 10 - 20 other NPC's aboard taking care of mundane tasks aboard the ship?
- Council Government work, or Private Sector work? It only makes a difference who we report to, really.
- We all mentioned we wanted to be mainly an expeditionary group, yes? We'd be sent out to chart this new system at the edge of known space as the original mission? Or a system that has already been 'charted'/named as existing- but not explored yet?
- -- The plot within this will vary dependng on what the GM wants, however- the original 'reason' is what i'm referring to.
Once we get that ironed out- i'm going to be creating a character sheet so we can get going. Also looking over ship designs [love to get other suggestions as well!! I've got a little database on ship images that caught my eye, for instance.]
I think some things we will be doing will be decided by dice roll by none other than myself/other gm's. Like what kind of planet it is- Gas Giant, Water, Temperate, Jungle, Continental, Arid, Desert, etc... What kind of wildlife we come across, and all that. Depending on what kind of characters we get from the palyers- I may even allow them to decide on things, as well. Like if a player choses to be a xenobiologist/zoologist, i'll let them decide what the creature we happen to come across is [?]. Or if a player happens to roll up someone who is good with meteorology and air quality, etc, allow them to kind of decide through RP means what sort of atmosphere the planet's going to have, and that kinda thing... If that sounds like a bad idea, let me know- lol- i just thought it'd be kinda neat to do a group storytelling of everything- but still be in bounds of RP/IC.... make sense?
