Drakon

Drakon are the native DragonKin of the planet Drakonika. Their average lifespan is around 1200 years, although very few reach this age due to genetic degredation killing (or crippling) many of the species off at the very young age of around 70. Average height for males is 18ft, while the average height for females is 20ft.
==Overview==
The Drakon are a reclusive species, sticking to their systems and not revealing their existence to other species (except the Soul Dragons) until 2033 when they deemed their genetic degredation had gone too far and the species needed another species (they chose their closest blood relation, the slightly more physically evolved Drakeian) to carry on their legacy. This however resulted in a bloody civil war among the Drakeian countries with the Drakon failing to provide much of their information before deciding to just record it on their homeworld and leave the Drakeians to kill each other. In terms of physical evolution, they are behind the Drakeians, but ahead of the Ancient Dragons, having shorter legs than a Drakeian, but much more leg than the primitive stumpy legs of an Ancient Dragon.
==Technology==
The Drakon have possesed advanced technology for thousands of years (since -4521), but have limited their reign across the galaxy to just a few systems local to their homeworld despite having hyperdrive technology and starship technology above that of the Ayvoid and around that of the earliest (and poorly) re-produced Ancient Dragoian technology. The Drakon, due to progressively lower numbers of males in the last 20,000 years, have developed cloning technology which has lead to many genetic defects among the modern Drakon.
==Culture==
Drakon culture used to be relatively insular, however, genetic degredation has caused the species to become less insular to try and survive.
