Hi Jack Terrier,

If you are talking about a cannon map/where you want system.

It was done once and it was riddled with errors from movements.

well you kind'of can create a custom star system for the home system of a major race.
Open UE, load stbof.res, go to Edit->Galaxy->Plannets; in the list there you'll see the planets for the home systems; for fed they are named like Mercury, Venus, Earth ...; For the others they are like Romulus, Remus, Romulus3 ..4 ..5.
There you can change the type of planet and the animation; or you can add new planets if you want.
Then got to Edit->Starting Conditions->Major Empire Home Systems and there you can configure the home systems with whatever planets you want from those defined in the step above(the second row of Add, Remove, Edit buttons) .

Have fun!

Don't forget to make copies of your stbof.res and trek.exe before using UE to edit stuff.
