History Drakonian

History
The Drakonian people began their evolutionary path to sentience approximately 120 billion years ago as amphibious creatures. Over the next 60 billion years, they eventually evolved into bipedal, flighted, humanoid amphibious, sentient beings.

Over the next 300 thousand years the Drakoinian people developed many religions an forms of government that rose and fell over the eons. Eventually, leading to a singular world spanning government of an extremely militaristic and theological society.

Twenty thousand years later, the great religious and scientific minds of their people began thinking of a way to become one with the gods, and in an unusual precedent, began working together to achieve a common goal. Over the next three thousand years a pair of these thinker and researchers stumbled upon a way to forcible evolve their brains to achieve higher functioning abilities, such as telepathy, telekinesis and other forms of psyonics.

At the same time, the Drakonian biologists figured out how to genetically manipulate their species to achieve the same results. The two camps working together greatly increased their results exponentially.

Over the next, 30 thousand years a division in their society that had formed long ago began to return and gain prominence. This division was pretty simple; those who were extremely religious and militaristic versus those who were extremely scientific and militaristic. This conflict is what lead to the rapid exploration and colonization of space by the Drakonian people. Each side expanding and colonizing as fast and far as possible to gain position, population and resources in the war they both knew was coming. The capital world, and then later the capital star system became a free zone an Elysium, or open city of a sorts.

After three thousand years of exploration and colonization, the religious sect struck first. Siezing all governmental, economic and military assets within the home star system, declaring itself the Holy Drakonian Empire.

The war between the Holy Drakonian Empire and the Drakonian Alliance of Free Peoples waged on for over a thousand years. At which point a near stale mate had been reached with both parties winning battles as often as loosing them. This stalemate continued until the Empire developed a new biological weapon that used the victim's own immune system to replicate itself and was silicon based. The virus was hard an expensive to replicate and/or manufacture, leading to its limited use. The Empire began re-sequencing its embryos to be immune to the virus. Once the first ten thousand newborns that had been altered reached the age of adulthood, the Empire began releasing the virus on worlds inhabited by the Alliance and any Empire world that was under siege by the Alliance. Within the next 50 years, the Alliance was driven off of all Empire worlds, was on the run, and on the defensive.

In an attempt to counter this new biological weapon, the Alliance turned to a new form of chemical warfare. Their new counter-weapon was a neural suppressant that shut down Drakon neurological functions. After several successes of this new weapon the Empire got a hold of it and tested it on prisoners of war. After this testing, the Empire learned of how the weapon worked but not how to defend against it, with the exception of using HAZMAT procedures to prevent people from contaminating others. Also, after seeing the

destroy their enemies. After the Alliance began using the new chemical weapon, the Empire started the practice of taking no prisoners and exterminating any resistance to their religion.

Learning of how bad the conflict had become, assets on both side began seeking a way to ascend. For the Empire Clerics, they sought a way to join the realm of the gods. For the Alliance scientists, this meant self evolution to a higher state of being to escape the war, and all war.

After 500 years of more war and near extinction of the Drakonian race, both sides managed ascention for small groups of their populations (more so for the Alliance than the Empire) with the rest dieing out in the continued state of war.

Upon ascension both groups realized their concepts of the higher states of being had been wrong and merely went their separate ways.

Several million years after their ascension, group that was the Empire decided they wanted more, and that ascension wasn’t' good enough. This idea led to the former Empire segmenting into groups and creating new sentient species if the form that each group desired. This led to the former Empire citizens using their privately made species as chess piece sin an eternal game of chess with the prizes being more power form those who worship them, and bragging rights among their own kind.
