Lately there appears to be some confusion and questions concerning what races are accepted in the UF and how to go about getting a member created race approved.
As a result, I'm posting this information again and in an area that will be prominent, and giving notice that as of July 6, 08 it will be strictly enforced.
Accepted races - Most cannon races and the races from the animated series.
non accepted races - Unless special approval was given by the CS (command staff)
1) No Q, or immortals of any kind
2) No super natural's, or species 8472
3) No fantasy races
4) No genetically enhanced races
5) No genetically altered race however natural evolution is accepted.
These are subject to change as needed.

Are member created races accepted at the United Forces
Here, in the UF we encourage the members to be creative. So therefore, we also encourage our members to create races. If they choose to do so; either for everyone to use, or only for themselves. However, there are rules that applies to these 'member created races', read on to learn more!
Member created races that are seeking official recognition and acceptance into the UF
In order for your race to be accepted and approved by the UF. You MUST submit it to the command staff. Once it is approved and accepted the race and its information is kept by the staff, here on this board, for everyone else to be able to see and use it.
What if I choose not to submit the race?
As its creator you can do that. No one will ask or tell you that you must submit it. However that also means, that race is closed to the other members of the UF, unless, you have given specific authorization to that person. We would appreciate being notified that you have allowed this. We are trying to protect your rights as the sole creator.
What Information do I have to provide for my new race?
1) home planet -- something about the home planet (Ex: Humans are from earth)
2) innate characteristics and abilities if applicable. (Ex: Vulcans are telepathic and logical)
3) detailed description of the race (Ex: Klingnons have ridges on their foreheads)
4) any language you may have incorporated so others can understand what your character is saying. (Ex: Klingons speak, Klingnon)
5) medical information that is important such as vital signs so the medical staff on your sim is not at a loss when they see them. (Ex: Lets say your character has a 6 chambered heart while humans have a 4 chambered)
*Please Note: Make sure that your race makes sense and are logical! (For an example a human/eagle hybrid cannot logically exist)*
The following is an example of a what we're looking for:
Note: This race was a joint effort on the USS Pegasus and is considerated the intellicultal property of the UF.
This is a sim created race, the following officers took a major role in its creation. This race is listed as being intellicultal propery of the UF.
The following officers took a major role in its creation
Major Del'Kara -- CMO USS Pegasus UFMV 25347
Cadet V Yates --- Science Officer USS Pegasus UFMV 25347
FMar J Weslynes -- Commanding Officer USS Pegasus UFMV 25347
All Images were done by Cadet V Yates

TELEPATHIC ABILITY
WARM BLOODED
STANDARD ENDOCRINE, AND BASIC ORGANS
SLIGHTLY LARGER BRAIN WITH EXTRA LOBE, POSSIBLY TELEPATHIC ORIGINS.

Medical report on the Colisians
Officer Reporting MCapt Del'Kara
Appearance
They are Bi-pedal, with 5 digits on each hand and an opposing thumb. They have no pours but have a system to allow for cooling of internal temperature.
Average height male is 6 ft 4 inches, female is 6 ft.
average weight male is 230 lbs female 190 lbs
they have no body hair.
Life span -- 150 years
Blood
There blood is Iridium based giving the blood a Brilliant Yellow in the arteries and a dull orange in the veins.
Reproduction
Only one egg is laid at a time and this indicates a need to conserve resources to ensure the survival of the offspring.
They're egg layers and both parents tend the egg in a pouch that's placed on the abodem. They take turns as needed until the egg hatches. Once hatched its called a pouch-ling and remains in the pouch for safety reasons. The pouch lings are nursed by the female. I have not been able to examine one.
They also mate year round there doesn't seem to be a specific mating season or time. Again leading for the conclusion that a high morality rate for the young is present.
Sexuality maturity is reached at 15 for both males and females. Males lose ability to maintain the egg in their pouch at the age of 90. Females stop laying eggs at the age of 70.
Care and nurturing of the offspring last until age 20, but is most intensive at between hatching and 3 years. During this time the couple will not mate.
Senses -- In comparison to Terrans
They have above average sensitivity to touch, eyesight is the same, hearing is above average, and Smell is above average.
Skin
The skin is dark greenish-gray and lightens with age several shades. The skin layers are thick and there are a total of 9 layers. This allows for the blood being based on Iridium.
I will be adding to this as more information is gained.

Command report
She sits at her desk in her office and completes the final report for the colissians. A copy of the final report reads as follows:
The Colisians are a Humanoid/Reptilian species. They entered the Alpha Quadrant after their home world Colissia was destroyed when their Suns went Nova. They resettled 40 light years past DS-5.
Physiology
They have above human strength. They are warm blooded, with standard endocrine and organs. Their brain is slightly larger with an extra lobe allowing for telepathic/empathic abilities. They are a bipedal race, and have 4 digits on each hand with an opposing thumb.
Average height Male 6 ft 4 inches weight 230
Female 6 ft weight 190
Life span 150 years
Blood is based on Iridium giving the blood a brilliant yellow arterial and dull orange venial. Their shin is a dark greenish-gray and lightens with age.
Biology
While they have breathable lack pores for cooling. They cool off by a use of a cranial and neck vain. Unlike most reptilian species they don't shed. As they age their skins become lighter.
Senses they have above average human strength due to a higher bone/muscle density. As seen in other races form a higher aggravation level then earth. They are more sensitive to touch, while the other senses remain equal to Terrains.
Reproduction
They are egg layers. Females possess mammalians. They lay one egg at a time, and will not mate again until the child reaches their 3rd birthday. During the time between laying the egg and the 3 rd birthday the most intensive time for child rearing takes place and the parents will not mate. Which indicate a need to conserve resources to ensure survival of the offspring.
Both parents have a pouch located in the abdomen, and use this to share inoculation and child rearing for the three years. The female nurses the pouching. Both parents remain devoted to the offspring until the age of 20.
They don't have a specific mating cycle and will mate year round. Both the female and male undergo what is called "Ruycok trok" translated to time of rest. This is when the female can no longer produce eggs and the male is incapable of maintaining the egg in their pouch. This takes place at the age of 70 for females and 90 for males.
Sociology
Their government is based on Paternal order similar to a monarchy. Interesting side note the citizens are allowed to vote on minor issues while major issues is left to the monarchy.
For now they have chosen isolationism but have expressed a desire to reopen communication after they have had time to resettle and repopulate.
Resettlement
They have resettled on a M class planet in sector 5938, which houses a 15 planet system with binary yellow dwarfs. The planet is the third form the suns. It contains ambient temperature of 30 degrees centigrade, has an oxygen, xenon, and Argon atmosphere. Ferric, Iridium based surface, with 76% water, temperate zones, vegetation, indigenous life forms. No sentient life forms were discovered.
Federation name for this world is Porthea. And was last visited by USS Intrepid on star date 11399.95. Plans for colonization was suspended because of the Dominion War.
