Any observer in orbit above the Arachnid homeworld would not see much out of place. From space it didn't appear much out of the ordinary. An oxygen rich atmosphere, large continents, matched with even larger oceans, it could belong to any race. Zoom in and the endemic pollution across the planet became apparent, but this was only slightly out of the ordinary as many races were also prone to overexploitation. Indeed in most cases it was this very problem that drove a race to expand out into space, to live and grow after their birthplace was so damaged as to threaten extinction if the occupants didn't escape. An observer would not miss that the landmasses were covered in a drab grey that seemed to grow out into all directions, only stopping when it reached water, and even then sometimes reaching out to occupy the shallows. Zoom in further and discover why. Cities. Vast expansive cities, seemingly organic, erasing all competition as it expanded. Unlike the habitation of other races it did not reach for the sky, at least not in the sense that another race might. For another race growth upwards was due to lack of land. Land must be left to grow crops or, in the especially impractical cases, nature left to watch over. To offer some escape into nature from the incessant urban sprawl that came with an industrial society. A sacrifice to a need to observe beauty while going on with a being's life.

I'm sure this has been asked by newbies a million times....but how do I load the pre-made races???

Well this is strange... I had some ships parked in an obscuring storm, and some enemy ships entered the sector. Strangely enough, while I can see the ships inside the storm in the same sector as my ships, no combat occurred. Is there some special rule governing this situation or is this a bug?
