Some custom race questions
Any help appreciated

Hey everyone
I've been working on some custom race artwork for the past week and a bit. So far I have:
- An Angry, Medium and happy diplomacy .bik animations
-a small .bik animation (for the UP I believe)
- A set of portraits
- A set of logos
- 3 Alternative portraits for possible breakaway civs
-Diplomacy and small pictures for those three breakaway civs (these are just static images, but I think they can be converted to .bik files ?)
My question is essentially, how can I get all this into the game?
I know where to put the portraits and logos (my documents/mygames...), but where do I put the animations and what do I name them? How do I get the race to show up with the animations in the game? Do I create a custom race or edit an existing one, and does it matter which one I pick (I'm looking for an aggressive & technological AI)? How do I setup the rebel civs and set them to use the portraits I've made? How do I customise the race's home system (their planet should look roughly like mars)? Can I put custom music into the game and if so how?
Apologies if these have been answered elsewhere, and thakyou for you're time
