*'''[[Azurigu]]''' – Azurigu are a canine species native to the arctic world of Warad, and the fourth founder species of the League. They were introduced into the League by the Mikaeans some thirty years following the travels of the MVS ''Blackblossom''. A pre-industrial race, the Azurigu had only recently developed steel weapons at the time the Mikaeans made contact with the species. As a race, they were introduced to new technologies and scientific concepts, and were integrated into the League as a founding member fifteen years later. Within the League, the Azurigu are valued for their neutrality in politics, though their promotion of traditional values over the modernist ideologies of the Mikaeans and the rival Elysians have made them many enemies.
*'''[[Yilani]]''' – The serpentine Yilani are the fifth founder species of the League, having been the last race to join, though not of their own volition. The Yilani were the only other spacefaring race in the immediate area of space to the core League worlds, and were not discovered by the flight of the MVS ''Blackblossom''. They had developed their own empire, and were expanding into Mikaean-controlled space when they sparked a conflict with the Mikaeans and their allies. The Yilani were outmatched numerically and technologically by the pre-League nations, and nearly wiped out to a man. Their invasion sparked the formation of the League, but the merciful behavior of the Sikatrians prevented the first interstellar genocide, and they were incorporated into the League.
*'''[[Hilam]]''' – Aquatic jellyfish species native to the planet of Muliiya in the Xi Bootis system. They were the second race to achieve independent spaceflight prior to the League's formation, and were a founding member species. Along with the Mikaeans, the Hilam were responsible for building and improving the existing gate network that connects the League of Civilized Worlds. As a species, the Hilam are the most numerous, though less than ten percent of their population live offworld or move throughout the League, with the overwhelming majority living deep within the oceans of their homeworld and the League's ocean world colonies.
*'''[[Skurians]]''' – Tall, red-skinned humanoids native to the low-gravity planet of Skuria. Originally boasted a small interstellar empire of their own until they came into contact with the League. They attempted to expand into League territories by force of arms, only to be defeated during the three-year long Skurian War. They were inducted into the League according to the terms of their surrender, and received full citizenship rights, much to the anger of the existing League member races. They inhabit nearly all of the worlds of the League, and often form the majority demographic on worlds with low-gravity, cold temperatures, predominately carbon dioxide atmospheres which are similar to that of their homeworld.
*'''[[Ailopin]]''' – Insectoid species with humanoid characteristics. ''More information to come..."
