Huh, we've always played it this way. Drawing a sheet at random and choosing between the human and alien.
I haven't read the rules on it, myself, but the person who ran it when I played seemed to know what he was doing. He had everyone ordered randomly somehow (I think we rolled dice?) and we were around the table in that order - ie: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 - and P1 would get to go first. Then P6 got to choose their race - either picking an alien or picking a human and taking the corresponding alien out of the game (ie: someone picked yellow human to take Draco out of the game), and then it went to P5 and so on. So the closer one was to going first, the less choice someone had, and also you could pick based on what the person with a wormhole facing to you picked (ie in your diagram, the person in 2K might not want to pick a weak military alien if 2A picked Orion!)
As I edited above, I'm okay with the random though, since Tapper should be facing away from me and HD will probably go Human - otherwise I would be Hydran sandwhiched between the two military guys!
I crushed the Hegemony with Hydran Progress last time I played. Technology is awesome
