Fiction:Drakodominatus Tyranny

History

The earliest Drakodominatus evolved under the baleful eye of the neutron star of Demogorgon on the planet Drakon Prime, forever oppressed by the eldritch phenomena that surrounded the corpse of a once great star. Why, the sages of their tribes once asked had they not been born during a time of a more giving star rather than the harbinger of death that was Demogorgon. The reatures evolved through trials of constant combat of turmoil, with no regard for higher thought, the Demogorgon species, still disunited were baptized in the fire of battle, and after countless genocides emerged the dominant species on the planet Drakon. When their first civilizations began, there was no ideal of democracy or equality, power was given to the strongest, and on this basis was broke out. This was lasted for time, at least in their primitive scope, immemorial as each tribe expanded into a country and horrible weapons of war were forged. It was here that the glorious engineering spirit in companion to the burning passion of the warrior was found in the heart of each Drakodominatus. From the endless strip mines of each nation, and in their foundries, the tools of war were forged, and in the labyrinth laboratories that ran beneath the center of Drakodominatus, the light of science was used in order to further the suffering of others through the shadow of war.

After enough time had passed, a battlefield once dominated by the sticks and stones of this species was dominated by the mechanical monstrosities of land cruisers in excess of a thousand tons, by gunships that packed rockets missiles, by drones that ravaged both flesh and metal, and by the infantry who wore the primitive predecessors of powered armor. No quarter was given in these apocalyptic battles, prisoners were spliced apart by harvester drones in order to drain their fluids to create more instruments of war. In spite of these advances, for the longest time, the battlefield remained a quagmire of trenches in which no side could advance, that is until the fissioning of the atom. One faction, in their subterranean labs, had finally come across the development of a weapon so powerful that it had the ablitity to finally win. It was with this invention that they scoured the land with atomic bombs, and with larger armaments, and at the end, they had unified through their blood the now molten crater of Drakon. Alas the leader of this faction Vracht Pestos proclaimed “It is done, the planet unified, but what task must this nation now set on to now”, and then he looked again to the star Demogorgon, which had constantly castigated his species and firmly said “We must tame the beast”.

It was at this point that the recesses of the planet, once turned to manufacturing instruments of war, came to an endeavor to directly help the common Drakodominatus. Within decades, the moons were colonized and within the century, even the outermost planets were civilized in this mad rush for science. But nothing had truly been solved, for the star still remained unchanged, the phenonmena that it attracted wracking the entire species with suffering that was of a different scale of any war they had ever fought, and the species knew that in order to prolong their existence that they could not remain at the mercy of the foul star, and with their first relativistic ships they expanded into the cold reaches of space. This, however did not change the sole aim of their science, which was to find a way to tame Demogorgon.

When the first fleet arrived at their destination, they were shocked that the star was different. It was not a devil that induced upon the planets, cosmic nightmares, and they looked upon their first planet, which was an incredibly different sight to the crew. Whereas on Drakon, it still remained a scarred environment, still torn by trenches, mines and factories, they saw an idyllic world, some crew members questioned whether they were still in the same dimension, but nevertheless, they went along with the task and began the colonization of the planet.

However, to their detriment, the planet was already ruled by a race. The race had not reached interstellar travel, but it had cities that sprawled across the continents of the great planet. The natives were alien to the Drakodominatus in every way, their only similiarities being having two arms and two legs and a mouth with eyes. However, the Drakodominatus had evolved with the mouth of an alpha predator, with jaws maid to gnash through the bones of lesser species, they had evolved with an incredibly muscled body that gave them physical prowess, they had evolved with implements of war biologically grown from their induction into the world from time immemorial. They had vast head extensions that were made from an alien material to the natives, and lastly, had a crest on their head that was made of what seemed to be valuable crystals as well as wings that sprang from myth. The Drakodominatus were greeted first with adulation, but their aggressive nature rapidly turned what was a ceremony into a gory fight. Even the attached scientists to the fleet found out that their strength given by the immense gravities of the planet had made them far stronger than the natives, and weirdly, they were still taller by a large factor. Their implements, from their bioligcal claws, to their mechanical ones, to their melee weapons shredded the natives and the plaza was soaked in their blood.

The military fleet joined in, with both its land and space components, and it was an even more uneven fight. Even though military armaments had not evolved ever since the first wars, it overpowered the natives. The only reasonable comparison can be seen in the armored battles that occurred in the plains of the planet. To give example, the first iteration of what Drakodominatus forces are feared for, the land cruiser was in approximately three thousand tons in mass and was a giant construct. It had a massive twin linked thousand millimeter railgun that fired explosive projectiles and armor made of the Dominatium, the native metal of the planet. To contrast, the largest tanks the natives had were only a hundred tons. This massively one sided affair only took a day, and the planet was in Drakodominatus hands.

When news of this victory finally reached home, the people were overjoyed, and in the centuries that came after that, a massive orgy of colonization happened, and with it a scientific revolution in the fields of materials engineering, robotics, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, space travel and electricity generation along with all their ancillary applications.

The crowning moment came when they were finally able to, by using their advanced sciences, to tame the neutron star, and with special mining suits that defy this historians ability to scientifically explain, they went about the process of mining neutron- degenerate matter and the substance of the star itself, and tamed it of it’s peculiarities.

After some time, the Drakodominatus had an empire of ten thousand worlds, each falling to their military might, composed only of the Drakodominatus as thy had liquidated everybody else. It was at this time they thought they were gods, until they encountered The Cult of Death March ,at which point they fought a portion of the Cult’s Forces to a respectable standstill, after suffering multiple tactical defeats and recognized that they weren’t the gods that they thought they were. This led to an immediate shift in foreign policy
