-The Draconian Empire is the government and ruling body that governs over a majority of the lizardfolk within the Federation. Though their history is troubled and violent, they’ve come to a relative peace and are working on developing their new world government though from their three moons as the surface of their homeworld is currently uninhabitable. The Empire is, other than humanity, the most expansionist group within the Federation and continues to show its war scarred history. Without an enemy to fight, many parts of The Empire turn inward to seek conflict.

 =History=
-With humble beginnings, the lizardfolk homeworld was nothing more than a lush jungle world with vast deserts between the jungles that gave way to a warm, rich planet for the lizardfolk to fight over. Since their beginnings as a sapient species, their written history details a culture saturated with war, conflict, and violence. They’d reached early space age technology when their civilization came to a grinding halt and nearly wiped itself out when they discovered nuclear weapons.

 ===Survival===
-For their sake, thankfully they developed a modicum of terraforming technology and were able to establish moon colonies and save their species for the time being though this did nothing to stifle the bad blood between the surviving three clans. The war continued shortly after they took to their moons. They focused almost entirely on developing weaponry and defense, as such their spacecraft were rather primitive when they were discovered by Solar Government research vessels.

 ===First Contact===
-At the time, all three clans were engaged in a battle outside of the Zerridiss-Clan’s moon. Two of the three clans, Trita and Giram, immediately opened fire upon the research vessels and were quickly dispatched though not without some damage to the SG vessels. The Zerridiss vessels however attempted to hail the SG vessels having witnessed the other two’s immediate destruction. The small decision is likely what would eventually lead to the Zerridiss uplift that allowed them to take control of the other two moons and establish the first Empire of the Draconian People.

 ===The First Draconian Empire===
 The Draconian Empire. What was once a vicious fever dream held by each of the three cans that controlled each of the moons around Ziokah was now a reality for the Zerridiss clan. Having been uplifted by The Solar Confederate Government during the heat of their civil war, the Zerridiss clan produced the first royal heir to their Empire whose line of succession continues to rule the majority of lizards to this day.

- With the respect the Empire has for [[SolGov]], it's easy to surmise how much respect it holds for NanoTrasen and its abilities to achieve so much with such poor equipment. That alongside their mainstay of industry leaves The Empire wanting to have a good relationship with NanoTrasen which they do indeed have through mutually beneficial trades of food and luxury goods to the fuel the expansionist Empire's efforts.
+The Empire is quick to aggression, much of the military is always left on edge with no one left to fight and only in the last three generations have they ever tried any amount of diplomacy. They respect strength, which they see in SolGov but not many others. They hold a low opinion of the Dominion, seeing them as the weakest link in the Federation for their focus on science and research instead of military.

- The Tortungan Raiders have never been anything more than a nuisance to the Empire with only two exceptions. Even lightly armed Empire civilian ships can make quick work of Tortugan pirates and as a direct result, most of the pirates will go after far easier targets with more expensive cargo such as [[NanoTrasen]] vessels. One of the aforementioned exceptions, the SkyRavens, have instead heeded the call of battle and find Empire ships to be a challenge more than a threat.
