As an aside, what were the defaults on Blue Planet? I know there were intelligent marine life, but I don't recall if they were native or engineered terran species.
This is an aside from the basic query, however - with several generic SF games out there (Traveller in its original form was, if not generic, open eneded enough it its assumptions for IMTU to become a stock phrase, Star HERO and GURPS Space at the very least) I don't remember how much discussion there's actually been on thinking about life in the universe prior to rolling up characters.
