Non-Humans in Traveller

One of the things which makes SF for me is Non-Humans. Despite the number of
pre-generated non-human races in Traveller (Vargr, Droyne, Hivers, K'kree,
Aslan) there seems to be no establised method of rolling your own. Do the
members of the list have any hints, tips or suggestions on how to create a
believable non-human race, for use as either PCs or NPCs? Are there any
favourites out there from the annals of Traveller history?

P.S. Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the RCES Marines as
portrayed in Smash & Grab and the MI from Heinlein's Starship Troopers?

P.P.S. Being a relative newcomer to the list, I would value the input of
those who chose to leave the list when TNE was launched, so I vote for
the 'temporary two lists' idea. (I have CT, MT and TNE.)

Stuart.
