				 Silicoids 
 It'd be interesting to have a race like the Silicoids from MOO.  A Race that can colonize any atmosphere...however, he could only ever do rock & ice planets (ie, planets with solidity...rocks to eat).  They would be Xenophobic...couldn't use other races to colonize...to balance them out some.  Great miners, poor researchers, slow reproduction and average producers.
