History: 
After the Sanctum was attacked and destroyed, the DNCDS, or most casually referred to the "Draconian Caste," formed when several other Draconian factions began rising out of the shattering of their central command. Immediately, they had allied themselves with two other factions that made up Galactic Sectors 3 and 5, with the Draconian Caste being the 6th GC, and began fighting to liberate the burned, scarred planets of the Sanctum. 

By the time the Draconians in the Milky Way sector [Galactic Sector 8] were annihilated, they had retaken the Sanctum, and Sector 4 [which had fallen into Civil War].Shortly afterwards, Sector 3 attempted to take Sector 5, and Sector 5 and 6 [Draconian Caste] retaliated, and retook Sector 3. Some time afterwards, with a mix of political and military manuevering, the Draconian Caste absorbed Sector 5, and later the remains of Sector 4. When they tried moving into Sector 7 and Sector 2, they found new occupants had taken over: The Seeders. 

Following the discovery was a war that quickly wiped out Sectors 7, 2, 5, and 1. The military that remained was decomissioned, scrapped, and rebuilt into ships that used armor similar to that on the Seeders, though not as heavy, but certainly stronger than earlier models. Due to the ineffectiveness of energy weapons against the Seeders [since any kind of weapon they used short of beams of antimatter], the Draconians set their sights on kinetic weaponry. While energy weapons have a longer firing range, higher accuracy and an easier source of ammunition, kinetic weapons of the same level could be used with a higher rate of fire, a larger effect area, increasing amounts of damage, and has so many variables that it can be modified for any situation the Draconian needed.

Other (Culture and the like):
The Draconian Caste, being Draconians, have a very, very powerful religious belief in the deity called 'The Goddess,' which represents both war and well-being, and is the Draconians' motherly influence. As of late, she has been called 'The High Mother,' or simply just 'Mother,' for lack of any real fatherly or motherly influence in the lives of almost all Draconians.
