Looking to start a game up with some friends and would like to play some races not in the core book. Looking at the stats of the listed races, it doesn't seem too difficult to custom make some others. Looking at creating the Ubese and Chiss and I have a pretty good idea for the Ubese.

Ubese

Brawn -1, Agility +1

Wounds: 10+Brawn

Strain: 10+Willpower

Starting XP: 110

Special Ability: One rank in Mechanics skill. One rank in the Gearhead Talent

Atmospheric Breather: Centuries of living on their own hostile planets have forced the Ubese to require assistance to breathe while away from their homeworlds. High oxygen atmospheres are treated as Dangerous Atmosphere with Rating 8 without their breathers.

Reading over. The Wookiepeedia article, they seem to be very mechanically inclined, hence the skill and talent. They require special breathers, so I basically copied the Gand rule and included the extra 10xp already.

I am having trouble with the Chiss. Reading up on them, they seem to not really stand out. Was thinking off just running them with the stats of Humans and coloring them blue with red eyes.

Any suggestions or feedback?

You can check out this. I did not see the Ubese, but I did see the Chiss in it.

That helps. Thanks.

I've got Ubese slated as an addition to the next update on the USM.

What I did was given the 2's in all Characteristics (nothing really stuck out as being really good or really bad about them), a choice between Perception or Survival for a bonus skill rank, and a suit of adverse environment gear that comes with a built-in breath mask and voice modulator and ignores one set-back die imposed by any environmental condition. Also only gave them 90 XP as being able to start out with a pretty spiffy set of armor (one that can be upgraded even) was worth not having quite as many XP to start with.
