Draconians are a species that has been both technologically and evolutionized to be in combat, whether to hunt or to fight with guns and such. Draconians are, most often, at a height of Draconians also sport scales- while before they were used in being protected from water and fire, small sticks and the like, they also accept metals, in which the Draconians digest in a separate stomach, that thicken and strengthen the scales. Titanium and aluminum lead to light, strong scale, while iron, steel, and other metals like that lead to heavy thick scales. Draconians are hunters- they see well both in light and in the dark, and sport several different membranes that they can cover their eyes with that can act anywhere from primitive binoculars, to sunglasses. Their eyes are reptillian, and they've got claws on every hand. They live up to one hundred human years- nearly two hundred cycles in comparison.Most often, they'll wear what you see in the above picture, except with far stronger materials, as a sort of proud-for-our-ancestors kind of thing. Only infantry wear exoskeletons, or the Space Marines.Republic - Instead of taking votes from everywhere, some Draconians gather support from their fellows, and they elect him as a Representative, which goes to a lower council. The Lower Council is a very large council that is in many areas- they make the little decisions, and pass things on up if they're too big. The Medium Council is smaller, with only a few that extend over many areas, and they take care of more important decisions. The Higher Council is a single, powerful group that makes decisions that affect the entire nation.Infantry is the Draconians' least powerful section of the three primary combat branches, sporting a variety of genetically-engineered beasts, from Hunters, who are large dog-like creatures with six legs, very strong and very fast. They've got everything from what's essentially sea dragon eggs that they can drop into the seas of their enemies, and destroy naval trade, to what are essentially really smart spinosaurus's, just for the fear effect. Most of these creatures are armed with embedded shield projectors, that run off the body energy and heat. The more something gets shot, even with the projector, the weaker it'll get, since shooting the shield is drawing on the creature's energy. The actual troops of the Infantry are just Draconians as combat controllers, and a creature they train against, most commonly called "Six-Arms." they're just like Draconians, except instead of scales they've got a crocodile like hide, and they've got six arms, which can wield handguns, swords, etc. Space Marines are the only part of the infantry that serves on spaceships, and the only ones that are composed entirely of Draconians.The Mechanized is less focused upon by the Draconians, for reasons pertaining to the upkeep of what they already have. They use walkers- big ones. They don't like being in small spaces, even less so when that small space is in an even more fragile small vehicle. Most walkers are from the height of a two-story building to a 5-story building. They're armed to the teeth, and because of the size, they each have a variety of items onboard, from a small antimatter reactor, to mortars, lasers, autocannons, and missile systems. The biggest walker is the Command Walker Central, or CWC. It stands at five stories tall, and only has a few weapons. It's got powerful shields, and it has a very powerful radar, scanning, and communications technology. Very hard to crack, but you won't have much resistance. The smallest is the Mobile Combat Controller, which is two stories tall, and two can be deployed from the CWC. These act as waypoints for the information sent from the CWC, and have powerful 3-D mapping systems. They have almost no armor, and they have medium strength shields. They're faster, and they're armed with jumpjets and what's essentially called a "Electron Puncher," which has the effect of very powerfully sending a small shockwave towards something- enough to smash a tank in one shot. It needs charge-up time, and it can't map while it's charging.The most expensive, the most expansive, and the most powerful of the three combat branches, the Spaceforce-Airforce combined shortly after the Draconians ascended into the skies. All fighters and bombers are atmospheric- it may dampen their effectiveness, but it also gives them a strategic advantage, where spaceborn enemies can't reach them, nor can ground anti-air. Technological Overview:Cultural Overview: To put it simply, they are a very proud warrior race. They respond to respect and power, not being nice or generous. They themselves might be generous, but they do it to one whom they respect. They celebrate victory, mourn defeat, and learn from both. They are not foolish- they our proud. They'll learn, and may get into a fight if they know they can win. They will gladly call for war against a race that is either weak or disgraceful, but if they prove to be worthy of respect, they will ceasefire, and reconsider. History: Draconians have long memories, and long grudges. But, everyone they have a grudge with is dead. From the very beginning, they fought for their lives, Not in a way that the humans did, or any other. Their planet was a giant brawling mass, where the fiercest, the strongest survive. The Draconians had already evolved into fighting beasts by the time they were learning to speak, having to fight against monsters that were both bigger and smaller than they were. Even the plants sometimes tried to eat them; everything grew quickly, and lasted as long as it possibly could. Dying of old age was unheard of as the Draconians got smarter and smarter, and they spent night and day on alert. Disease never ran rampant in this world- the strong survived, and so viruses never had anywhere to go. For some time, they spent in a sort of evolutionary stasis, fighting and fighting and fighting, trapping and always using their claws to rend flesh. And then a disgrace, an outcasted Draconian, always left behind when they went hunting, wanted to be safe. Not in their primitive huts- he knew that never had any of their enemies been underground. And so he dug, He looked down, dug, and found stone. He looked at this stone, looked at the vines on the trees, and the fallen branches, and made an axe. That very same axe is still preserved today in the most prominent Battleship-X. After that, the Draconians scrambled to make new weapons, to come at their enemies with these weapons. They destroyed their enemies, and they loved doing so, until they had cleared the australia-sized continent they lived on. There was a massive growth spurt; they covered the coasts all along. Here, they began to fish. They made boats, the rushed out to sea, and learned the passive side to life. Before, aggression and brutality ruled. Here, they would die if they put it aside, and so would everyone else. Here, they learned balance.Shortly afterwards, they began to make bigger ships, and set sail for other lands. Some never returned; only two of the dozen did. They brought back animals, and the smart captains were rewarded with the first farms, the first animal farms. They were the pioneers; they made the first grain farms, and the first fruit farms. It was less thought, and more luck and on-the-spot innovation.Four hundred years later, they were across the world, and each continent, each of the six massive islands, were constantly warring and making peace. The original continent the smallest, the strongest, had made the first plane; they made the first bomber, the first battleship. They were the first to go into space, where they were the first to spaceships. When the first spaceship, armed with a single cannon, fired down onto the command center of their most hated rivals, and destroyed their leaders, the entire world paused, and looked upwards.A hundred more years passed, and there were two fleets in orbit around the planet. However, these weren't fighting- each nation had bonded to each other, intent on finding new lands, new peoples, and new ways to do everything.And here they are. Other: Don't piss them off.
