I would like to start a game without independent colonies. Is that possible?

The number of starting Independent Races (Colonies) is affected by a menu setting
when starting a new game.

yes I know that but even at the lowest setting some colonies will spawn at game start.  I want no colonies to spawn at game start.  I was hoping there was a way to change those settings' numbers.

Well, there is no way for the planets to come out uninhabited BUT, you can prevent them from morphing into space fairing races. At the empires screen, you make sure the new empires forming during game box is unclicked...

And if all else fails there's still the ingame editor

Yep, you have to track down each one in the editor, then use the 'erase alien race' brush to accomplish it, IIRC.
