Terran Resistance
These guys are the most similar to the Terran Alliance so we tried to give them something similar but also more in line with the characteristics of a civilization that had to set up a home world with some haste.

Navigators
The Navigators are a mysterious race that has been forbidden from interacting with other civilizations to any significant degree. But they are pretty amazing at interstellar travel.


Mimots
The cute fluffy Mimots win by out reproducing everyone. Now they will get some interesting improvements that lend themselves to that strategy and tries to make up for the fact that they’re…well pretty dumb.

Xeloxi
The beautiful space criminals have one of the most powerful but more challenging improvements to use.

Arceans
The Arceans are fairly conventional but like the Resistance, they get some improvements that buff their citizens.

Altarians
The Altarians, being an ancient race, get access to Precursor tech.

Yor
We had a lot of fun with the robotic Yor. We felt that the synthetic species should be pretty distinct from the fleshlings out there.




Torians
For the Torians, they have a really pretty water world. To that end we decided to take a different approach.

Drath
The Drath are pretty similar to the Altarians actually but they also get an Arms Expo which helps get them well liked early on (and rich).
Corporate Sector
The galactic capitalists and entrepreneurs of the Centauron quadrant of the milky way galaxy take the view that no one should invade their planets because they’ll be utterly ruined by the time they’re done with them anyway.



Baratak Grove
No civ made us feel more ashamed of ourselves than the Baratak. Here’s a race of tree people. Now go build a factory. The Baratak will continue to get more love but in the meantime, they don’t even get a capital city. Instead, they get the Father Tree.

Luxar
A close second in the “Shame on Stardock!” camp are the Crystaline Luxar. Ooh, a beautiful crystal species. Go build a factory. Now, they start with no capital either (no building). Instead, they deal with crystals.



The Korath
The Korath aren’t PG villains. The Drengin are your pretty standard PG villains. The Korath are monsters. The first DLC, Tales of Centauron, adds a Korath campaign mission and you get a good idea what a species that truly sees the rest of us as vermin would do.
