Fawdraxan

"Why must we conquer these new species?! This isn't what we Fawdraxans are!" Shelana pleading with her sister shortly after her awakening in 2039.
The Fawdraxans were an ancient and advanced all female quad-pedal species who existed over 4 million years ago. Their average lifespan is 7500 years. Their homeworld is Fawdraxia.
==Overview==
In terms of size, the Fawdraxans are an immense species, with an average height of 310ft, with the tallest female peaking at 327ft, which is made even more significant by them being one of the rare quadruped DragonKin species which further adds to their already immense size. The record for tallest natural Fawdraxan belonged to Nerala Quanar and technically still does despite experiments performed on her using Ixnara.
Said to share similar ancestry to the much smaller Fevire species, the Fawdraxans share their distinctive 4 legged bodies. However, the Fawdraxans mount two stomachs, 1 in their lower body between their legs much like the Fevire, and another smaller one on the front of their upper body like most other DragonKin species. Apart from allowing a larger eating capacity, the 2 stomachs are largely redundant, as they both do the exact same job.
Completely unknown in modern times before their awakening in 2039, this awakening did not go according to the original plan which called for the remaining members of the species contained onboard the I.F.V. Neralan to awaken, instead waking just the queen, Shelana Quanar.
== Appearance ==
Skin Type: Scales.
Colour Range: Fawdraxans are two-tone, with their main bodies being assorted shades of red that range from dark hues all the way to near pink, while their underbellies are a paler, more washed out shade of red than their main bodies and can be shades of pink.
Eyes: Fawdraxans have two large eyes with a slit pupil in colours that are commonly a shade of brown, pink, red, green, grey or blue. The upper eyelids of a Fawdraxan are particularly large and do not fully open, while Fawdraxan eyelids are a slightly darker red than their main body scales.
Heads: Fawdraxans have moderately sized heads that have a pronounced cranial ridge along the front of their face, with long thin jaws that curve upwards/downwards into a sharp point at the end, which mount 2 large pointed horns and 2 small pointed horns, and 2 large ears. Fawdraxan jaws have full lips with only 4 long fangs protruding.
Bodies: Fawdraxans bodies resemble those of Centaurs, with a bulky but humanoid front-half complete with stomach, but a more horse like rear with powerful hind legs noticeably more bulky than their fore legs and a long thick tail ending in a small, 6-barbed tail-spike. All four legs end with large, clawed, 3 toe feet while the Fawdraxans arms end in clawed 4 finger/1 thumb hands.
Tongue: Fawdraxans have a long, twin pointed tongue.
==Technology==
Fawdraxan technology is often considered to be more advanced than any other species with the exclusion of the Sould, easily outclassing anything made by species newer than them and even their contemporaries. There's some truth to this, but a lot of their technological superiority came from their sheer scale compared to most other space-faring species, with the Fawdraxans themselves acknowledging that species such as the Tidroinians actually have superior technology. The I.F.V. Neralan was their final technological innovation, being a gigantic starship designed to re-populate the galaxy with Fawdraxans after millions of years of being left in an inactive state below the surface of a planet.
Fawdraxan starship sensors are precise and nigh on un-blockable, being strong enough to penetrate shields and get detailed scans of even fully shielded ships. However, shields will still scramble readings enough to make locking a transporter onto an individual object, such as a crew member, impractical for tactical uses.
The Fawdraxans are the only species to even partly artificially stabilise the condition of Ixnara, although the results are often gruesome and have only produced extremely limited successes.
== Culture==
On Fawdraxia and their main colonies, their culture seems to be a peaceful one ruled by a benevolent monarch, but off these worlds, their true nature becomes revealed, being an oppressive empire controlled by the military with their queen and general population hearing nothing of their species' conquest of the galaxy. As all interplanetary travel is controlled by the military, and all alien traffic inside Fawdraxan space is highly limited, the general Fawdraxan population live an idyllic life unaware of the true state of the galaxy, and of their military's ruthless ways.
Unlike most DragonKin monarchies, the royal family are not involved with the military in any way. In all of Fawdraxan history, only a few royals have ever joined the military and in the process have relented any royal claims.
Military members are forbidden to discuss anything about what happens outside core Fawdraxan space to a civilian to maintain the illusion of peace, with most either perpetuating the lies or general disinformation told by civilian media or not talking about it at all.
The Fawdraxans are renowned for fighting with honour by always taking their foe head on, as a result, Fawdraxan offensives often involve crushing the foe with overwhelming force and their military tactics in general are considered rigid, inflexible and predictable.
==Reproduction==
The Fawdraxans reproduce via eggs. To create the egg, blood must be shared from a surface vein running directly below the scale in the middle of the palm. This scale can be lifted somewhat painfully to allow access to the vein, the 2 bonding Fawdraxans then jab the poking up scale into the other's vein causing the blood to mix, if the blood mix is compatible (A few Fawdraxans are born with blood that cannot be used to reproduce) then a few months later, one or both of the partners will lay an egg, which will take around 17 months to hatch. The child from the egg starts with scales, which grow with the child. The child also bears small less pointed fangs than an adult, and has considerably larger eyes than an fully matured Fawdraxan of the same size, limbs such as legs and arms as well as the body are also proportionally shorter.
==Rearing ==
Fawdraxans can just about rear up and stand on just their hind legs with walking while rearing only being an option with lots of practice.
Rearing vastly increases a Fawdraxan's height but severely compromises her mobility and agility. As a result, rearing is only really used to gain a better vantage point or used as intimidation. As a result, most rearing Fawdraxans roar while rearing for maximum intimidation.
