From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Traveller supports many official races, and many not so. Below is the list of the races in the Library. There is a summary list.

Races are broadly divided into two categories: Major Race and Minor Race. The commonly accepted critera for Major race status is the invention of the Jump Drive. Critics point out the division is arbitrary as many of the minor races were contacted before they had the opportunity to invent the drive. Sophontologists agree the proper criteria is based upon the expansion drive of the race. All the Major Races except the Droyne dominate regions that cover multiple sectors, but the definition nevertheless stands and makes the Droyne count as a major race.

The Minor Human Races are offshoots of Humaniti, scattered to the stars by the Ancients about 300,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence has found more than one hundred of these human races left throughout charted space, though fewer than fifty have managed to survive to the modern day.
