The 'Prime Directive' files for the GCA includes templates for these Races:

Andorian

Tellarite
and
Vulcan.

All the other races I have to do modicifations 'by hand' each time I make a Caitian or Saurian.
I think there might be past threads in this forum over the last 10 years where I asked for suggestions or templates for Caitians, Edosians, and Saurians.
Some ideas for those races I get from the Modiphius RPG books since they currently have the official license for "Star Trek".

Ok, I have the top three, agree on Hide Bound. I also have Modiphius Trek.

Age for Skronk?

Could be as young as 22 or as 'old' as 26/27....

Minor nitpick: The quirks are also listed in the disadvantage section, which might affect point cost.

For those making characters to be posted in 'this' thread, Kromm did a post over in the Starship Piloting thread that could be very useful to refer to.

Here is a link to it:

I had him at 21, not thinking about age vs skill points, 22 works.

Copy and paste error on the repeat, point totals are correct, per GCA.

Okay on the younger side - Cool, that means he tested into the Academy at age 16, gradusted at 20, then did more study in his specialty and had a 6 month cadet cruise, now he is 21 and ready for a regular ship assignment.

Adm - I have now done a version of 'Skronk' the Damage Control technician in my GCA.
I vhose not to click on the Tellarite template and did all that by hand based on what was in the suggestions in the 'Prime Directive' book. Also, I want to 'see' that stuff on the character sheet and often the default racial stuff does not show up on the printed character sheet.

He had two skills as high as 16 - I lowered one of those down to '14' because I know he will be an Ensign and younger thasn most of the player characters. At one point I had 21 leftover points - so I raised any skill that was only an '8' or '9' up to a '10' in level.

Almost thought of lowering the Power & Reactors skill to lower than '16' - maybe to 15 or 14 so he could use 2 to 3 points for his own language of Tellarite.
