[hider=To make the post smaller]
The Draconians are anywhere from 8-12 feet tall, with few actually being 12 foot. It just isn't very common, like how there are tons of basketball players that are well, well over 6 foot, but not always in the regular life.

The Draconians had the numbers, they were a superior fighting force, and they were a bit higher on the tech scale, when they were part of the galactic community, say, 80 or 90 thousand years before? It took all three of the 'Big Three' to take them down, and that was after they'd been split into half a dozen or so independent factions, and they were mainly outdated.

As for the god-stuff, well, its gods. There is never anything concrete about something that there is no true knowledge on, nor were there ever really any concrete rules about them. Supremes are anti-deities; you won't be able to spy on them without alerting them, at the very least. At the most, a concentration of Supremes would act like a very strong wall. And the Supremes [i]have[/i] done extensive warp research. They go across entire galaxies, through an entire universe, in one jump. Costly and disorienting, maybe, but it can be done. It's how they escaped the Rift or whatever. It's how they arrived in the Milky Way in the first place. They're [i]supposed[/i] to be far advanced. But they're also much smaller. Less than a 40 warships, total. They have armor that isn't too terribly thick, but anything less than a severe breach will be repaired, even in a battle. The shields only block energy weapons; mass drivers and other high-speed, high-density projectiles, like from big railguns, could do sufficient damage as to cripple a ship, if you hit the same place long enough.

And the Supremes are really just kinda like that. They'll look down on most, and occasionally help if they have their respect. A scrap of Supreme technology in the field of, say, energy storage could easily give a boost in batteries to hold more than two times the power. The Draconians had sufficient technology to essentially have a battery the size of a wardrobe, and power an entire warship for a couple years without fail. Or, if running energy-efficient, well over two years. But then again, they've never really participated in any kind of conflict, and when they do, they run before the enemy can get within engagement range.Their versions of fighters hold a dozen crew, but are Corvettes, big enough to put turrets, torpedoes, and warp drives on them. They're geared towards fight-and-flight, if they don't fly away immediately. [/hider]
