Let me start by saying I know NOTHING about modding.

But is it possible to mix races from different mods? I would like to see how the Star Trek races would fare against some of the ones in the Extended mod.

That sure is possible, but quite a task even for people who know how to mod. You not only have to copy the race files, ship and unit art together, you also have to edit the race files accordingly, also the race bias and probably the race family bias files, maybe government and government bias files as well. If you're unlucky you also have to add race tech to the research and component files. Sounds like a ton of work? It is.
