The League of Non-Aligned Worlds had been a loose confederation of independent worlds and minor species formerly subject to the Centauri Republic. The League of Non-Aligned Worlds was created to maintain a united front against a possible Centauri resurgence and protection from the expanding Narn Regime. The League's charter took on new meaning with the rise of the Dilgar, who launched a massive war of conquest and genocide against all of its neighbors. The League resisted but was nearly overwhelmed, until the Earth Alliance agreed to aid the League and helped drive back the Dilgar.

As a result, the League cemented its reputation as a force which could influence at least one of the major powers. However, the League was fractious and often was subject to petty internal rivalries. It also suffered from a strange combination of insecurities and complacent inaction with many of its members, mainly the Drazi, the Brakiri, and the Gaim, refusing to commit to anything out of fear, then suddenly demanding action and afraid for planetary security. On the Advisory Council of the Babylon Station the League was represented by delegates from each member world, which as a group must come to a consensus to cast one vote on behalf of the entire League. In comparison, each of the other major powers was represented by a single individual with one vote.

In 2261 after Sheridan went to Z'ha'dum, members of the League, convinced he was dead and his mission a failure, refused to participate in any more join military operations against the Shadows, for fear of retaliation. The League temporarily dissolved with the former members voting to look after themselves. When Sheridan returned, the League reformed and rejoined the Army of Light and was victorious alongside them. After the war, the League was eventually dissolved in 2262 in favor of the Interstellar Alliance.
