==Overview==
Born in the nation of Draknia, her childhood was troubled having lost her parents in 1991 in one of the many enemy skirmishes on Drakeia, resulting in her being raised in an orphanage until she was kicked out at age 16 and ended up joining the navy due to a lack of desire to join the army but wanting some way to avenge her parents death. Known to truly trust nobody, her deep rooted mistrust is due to a combination of factors with none defined as the true cause.
Draoga joined the navy in 1999 and had become a captain of a cruiser by 2026 after years of faithful and dedicated service.
She met her husband Keldric, an army lieutenant, during a joint exercise in 2012 between army and navy where his squad was learning what it meant to be marines aboard the ship Draoga was currently serving on as first officer. The two eventually married in 2016 after spending most of their free time together.
In early 2029, after three years of being a captain, she decided to have a child and became pregnant, having the baby later that year. Once the baby was actually born and with no work to keep her busy thanks to being granted mandatory maternity leave, she grew increasingly annoyed by her child's constant wailing so much so that after just 3 weeks with the child she had finally had enough and snapped, slapping the wailing child on the snout so hard she broke it's neck. It took her a few minutes to calm down and actually realise what she had done. When Keldric returned home in the evening, he saw his child dead in it's crib and panicked, screaming for Draoga to come help. Draoga came downstairs with a pistol in her hand, pointing it at Keldric with a grim look on her face. With a threat not to move, she coldly explained what she had done to Keldric, who much to her surprise was supportive of her, comforting her and saying it was an accident, even saying he would help cover it up. Draoga's deep rooted mistrust of others made it hard for her to trust even Keldric, but after a tense few minutes, she uncharacteristically relented and decided to trust Keldric.
The morning after she had killed her child, Keldric called the police before Draoga had woken up to "confess" about how he accidentally killed his own child, with Draoga waking to the commotion of her husband being arrested. Angry but also relieved that her trust in him wasn't misplaced, Draoga decided she needed to return to her life as a navy captain to take her mind off things, but when calling her commanding officer and explaining how her child had died, she was told to take the remaining months of her maternity leave as bereavement leave. During this time, she regularly visited her husband in jail, partly to be comforted and partly to give her something to do. After a few months of bereavement leave and being bored senseless, she was contacted by a member of the Battleaxe Program, something she knew nothing about, and offered a job as captain of a new type of ship. The Battleaxe Program member offered Draoga a job as captain of the nearly finished DES Battleaxe due to her navy reputation to get the job done, at all costs sometimes, and by promising they could get Keldric out of prison. With the assurance that Keldric would serve as her new security chief after being released from prison, she accepted the job offer and handed in her resignation to the navy, claiming the stress of losing her baby as the main reason for her resignation.
==As Captain Of The DES Battleaxe==
As captain of the DES Battleaxe, Draoga was predictably harsh yet effective, making first contact with many new species, including the Dragoians.
As captain of the flagship, most of Draoga's duties consisted of exploring new solar systems and baby-sitting survey teams, with the occasional first contact that would often test Draoga's atrocious diplomatic skills to beyond their limit. To keep her crew sharp, she would routinely do tactical drills and train her gunnery crews by using non-damaging rounds and the Battleaxe's shuttles as moving targets. These drills were frequent and often intense, which did improve the crew's abilities in combat situations, but also caused a lot of near mutinies, with several crew members planning to mutiny ending up with security coming down on them hard.
Dragoian first contact in 2030 went poorly thanks to an idiotic Dragoian captain looking for glory and Draoga's poor diplomatic skills, resulting in a fire-fight where Draoga's ruthlessness and quick decisions resulted in the Battleaxe's victory over the Dragoian Tri-Dra Class Cruiser, Keria, using her weeks of frequent drills to get a fire everything order off before the Dragoian ship could react properly, sensing the incoming fire-fight before it started. In the weeks that followed, the Dragoian Empire investigated the loss of the Keria and returned to Drakeian space with a show of force that easily eclipsed the Drakeian's burgeoning navy. The result was a bloodless, but tense, official first contact, where Draoga's presence was reduced to minimise diplomatic fallout, with Draoga only being present when the Dragoians requested to see the captain who had bested their own ship.
Draoga was to captain the DES Battleaxe until she led it to it's destruction by Dragoian forces in 2032 where Draoga, her highest ranking officers, and some of the junior crew managed to escape in the shuttles. Draoga arrived at Drakeia to request she got another ship (despite knowing full well she was responsible for the loss of the Battleaxe by leading it into an obvious trap), she was surprised to receive the new flagship which was only weeks away from launch, and not one of the various smaller ships had been mass produced during the Battleaxe's short lifespan, (some new classes, some Battleaxe Class). This new flagship was renamed the DES Battleaxe II in honour of the first flagship.
==Combat Style==
Like all Drakeians from Draknia, Draoga carries a Combo Pistol, but unlike most other Drakeians, she has hers set to a high railgun setting instead of the standard middle ground and is an unusually good shot with it. When asked by soldiers, she replies that she prefers a high damage per shot and high accuracy over fire rate and that the key to using it is to sight it without using the sights, never actually telling anyone how she does this.
