A question about homeworlds

Can I make multiple homeworlds? Home stars?

from GalCiv2 Forums
It once occurred to me when exploring the RaceConfig.xml file: is it possible to make more than one planet your homeworld? I changed my CustomPlanets.xml file so that all the planets in my home system were habitable; is it possible to make all five of them my homeworlds?
Also, thinking about this led to another question: if it is possible to have multiple homeworlds, what about home stars? I think it would be cool (at least, for me) to have more than one system in the beginning.

I just wanted to ask: does anyone know if either or both of these are possible?

sorry, the forums edited out the rest of the parameter, but look in the race config and you'll see what i mean

I tried that once and it not only didn't work but made the planets like they normally are, i.e. only one other besides normal homeworld habitable. I think it's probably because I did something wrong (because I'm figuring stuff out as I go) and I wanted to know if anyone more knowledgeable had managed to do it.

there is just too much hardcoded. maybe stardock will remove this sooner or later

2 homeworls would be silly, but in a custom map, you can add the tag under a planet, so its at least colonized by race X

I've ended up with several of my planets as capitals/homeworlds. Usually their names are Dratha, Earth and Drengi

I don't know how to do it with a mod tho, sorry.
