Pretty much. It's an extrapolation from the canon, rather than "this is me taking the canon and making it better. And by better I mean changing all the bits I didn't like."
I've seen it done with Armada, and it turns all the 'cons into brute stereotypes. Because it's better not to have any bad guys with minds of their own outside sadism or small, irrelevant quirks.
