Unbound Races of the Great Spiral

The Unbound races of the Great Spiral number approximately 391 species thus far in nine thousand years of galactic community. Being considered Unbound refers to a race having successfully achieved FTL travel and harnessed it for traveling amongst the stars of the Great Spiral. Acquiring this critical mode of transport is the determining factor to Unbound status. The caveat to this is that the technology must be developed by that culture and not purchased.
