Custom
The screen you use to design your custom race is the Race Customization
screen. On this screen are three columns of options, 11 topics in all. Every
one of the options included under these topics represents an advantage
or disadvantage you can give your new race.
To name your custom race, click on the race name in the top middle of the
Race Customization screen to edit the name. 
The last customized race created will be saved. Load that race by clicking
on the “Last Race” button instead of selecting a picture to use for your
custom race.
The usual first step in creating a race is to click on the Clear button to
erase all of the selections. This leaves you with a “Galactic Normal” race—
no advantages, no disadvantages, and no special characteristics. Notice
that the two boxes at the bottom of the screen show that you have 10
Picks and 200% Score. What does that mean?
“Picks” is shorthand for Racial Ability And Characteristic Points, which
wouldn’t fit. You have 10 picks that you can use to develop your race. To
the right of every option is that option’s Pick Modifier. If you choose that
option for your race, you lose (if the modifier is positive) or gain (if it’s
negative) that many picks. Note that you can not choose disadvantageous
options to gain more than 10 extra picks, and you are also not allowed to
start a game with a negative pick total.
