Though the Alien Races page has more complete data on all the races of the Orion sector, many people want to know how the various races compared in terms of numerical ratings.  For such people, this page has been created.  There is a similar page for Master of Orion II.  Note that the terms used are not defined here (although they are defined in the games and their documentation).  If it is a more general description you seek, look at the Alien Races section.
