Translations:Major Race/1/en

Major Race is a concept used throughout Charted Space to identify the six races who have independently developed the jump drive: Aslan, Droyne, Humans, Hiver, K'kree, and Vargr. It is a subjective term used by the most powerful races of Charted Space based upon political sophontology.

Description (Specifications)

There is some disagreement about what makes a Major Race and exactly which species are major races. A Major Race is generally defined as one that independently developed jump drive technology, allowing vastly more efficient interstellar travel. While it is generally agreed that there are six Major Races, how they are specifically defined varies quite a bit. All races that are not Major Races are Minor Races by default.
