Yor for me as well. I've always been a fan of people making machines that turn on their creators. Or actually, any creation, machine or organic, turning on their creators.

I belive you mean "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" (sorry, huge Doctr Who fan, and the Yor remind me of the Daleks for some reason.)

Anyways, my favorite race is a costom race I made, the Assryian Star Imperium. (Mouthful, isn't it?) Their story goes like this: Thousands of years brfore they took to the stars, they were at war with a reptilian race known asa the Ha'taks. It quickly became genocidal, and eventualt the Assyrains won, but the cost of vicory was high: the complete extermination of the Ha'taks. Or so they thought. They discovered an opposed tribe of Ha'taks known as the Skathalet, and took them in as equals. Now, in thier galactic emergence, they hope to redeem themselves for what thier ancestors did all those years ago.

P.S.: If costom races don't coun't, I'd say the Korx. Why? They're living proof of what can go wrong when you mix criminals and capitalisim.  

I like the Thalans most too atm. But that's mainly because they really support my game-style. Not sure if I could have won my games at obscene that easily with any other race. Now at suicidal I struggle more, but I should be fine - and I had a relatively crappy start and tough opponents.

My favorite is the Drath Legion. They have a sad back-story, and yet they are still good. They have excellent racial bonuses, and the idea of a manipulative race of beings capable of exercising an uncanny power of persuasion pleases the control-freak inside of me.

Spore. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfrakker in the galaxy. Accept no substitutes.

Yes. Though I played one game as a good-aligned custom race to whom I gave the spore ability. Because that seemed even more evil.

Yeah, that's a relic from a more civilized age. My gameplay took a turn toward the dark side around December/January when that whole series of game updates began which either broke the number of available planet tiles or degraded various game features that I liked. Besides being cathartic, evil makes for a scrappier, more edge-of-the seat game (at least for the first two or three game years), which I enjoy. I also like playing the Altarians as an evil faction, so I think I'll keep that icon for a while.
