Roslin in new Galactica, but nothing in the way of powers for PC's or 99.9% of NPC's).  No new alien races really to worry about, especially in New Galactica (at most, the various Cylon models would need stats).The trickiest thing I can think of is how to treat Humano-Cylons from new BSG, since biosynthetic robots from d20F just isn't close enough (I think biosynthetics were meant more for things like androids from Aliens).  Humano-Cylons are probably best treated as humans with a sort of "Cylon Replica" template that makes the Cylons their primary allegiance and it cannot be changed, lets them stay in contact with other Cylons (subject to jamming and interference), they are sterile, and they suffer a double damage from any ability damage caused by radiation (judging by the events at Ragnar Anchorage during the mini-series.)Licensed Sci-Fi RPG's that I can think of: Farscape, Stargate SG-1, Star Wars (d6 and d20), Star Trek (FASA, Last Unicorn, and Decipher versions, and the Prime Directive RPG based on the Starfleet Battles sub-license), Babylon 5 (Babylon Project and Mongoose d20 Versions), and Trigun (yeah, it's anime, but a sci-fi anime) and Men In Black.</blockquote>
