Drachian Faction
150 years ago, a federal Admiral named Zalchus Drachian disobeyed orders and refused to eliminate non-threatening settlers on a colony.
His whole fleet seceded. Other fleets joined him, then many others attacked.
As a military genius he won numerous battles during what is called the Drachian Revolution and many colonies joined his cause. In the end, the federal government was forced to accept peace terms: recognizing the Drachian Republic, also called by some the “New Empire”, a heavily militarized authority which is certainly present to defend, or enforce, the freedom of its members.
Drachian officers are skilled, disciplined, and trained into techniques and weaponry unknown to the Federation.
There are four Dracian cards in the Alpha edition. You must have a Drachian Commissar (Civilian/Military/Passenger) in order to use other Drachian Cards including the Drakian "Mantis" ship, Drakian Assault Trooper and Drakian Scarab Armor.
A Drachian Colonel card was given away as part of a March promo.
They are also part of the achievement rewards with the Drachian Mantis.
