Toxic, Barren and Gas Giant Species

I have part of this in another suggestion already, but I think it deserves some love of its own.

In the empire creator there should be a start-only option where for two or three points you can live on one type of non-habitable world, but only that kind. Maybe add in appearance options that fit those, too? Entirely armored for barren, obviously poisonous for toxic and gas bags/energy beings for gas giants.

Problem with how they'd interact with other empires.

Let their species colonize the worlds you can’t use instead of having a migration treaty?

At which point we have an empire that can't be defeated? If enemies can't take the world they wouldn't be able to take full control of the system.

It also means more strain on the game, why we can't colonise barren worlds with Robots.

They could be defeated by others of the same kind. Maybe they could only go to war with others of the same kind? And yeah, you might have to restrict it to small galaxies or something . . . God knows huge galaxies are laggy as fuck after a while as-is.
