A brief history of Ih8uwannakillu
The Dragona are a race of sentient, mildly warm-blooded half-dragons that evolved in a land of harsh contrast and filled with vicious monsters, most of which are Carnivorous due to the large deserts of the land. What few herbivorous species there are have always occupied the jungles, where the first Dragona cities were built, accounting for some 1/3 of the population at the time.

After their contact with the Templars the Dragona were launched rapidly into an industrial revolution, though not as messy as that of the Templars (less smog). The rapid growth of technology in Ih8uwannakillu allowed the Dragona to begin crude teraforming operations that were continued and improved upon right up until the ‘Time of fleeing’ (see later on).

There were few real notable advances up until, several months after the Templars, the Dragona started their first, off planet, colony, a space station in orbit of Varius’ moon. There were a few wars before this event, such as the Varius wars (1st, 2nd and 3rd) that the Dragona were involved in quite heavily but not much advances were made in areas other than warfare (where sonic and living weapons were develped)
.
Back then to the first Dragona ‘colony’, which was constructed from the high orbit battle group Alpha Gara, the key weapon for the Dragona’s defence during the 3rd varian war, that was decommissioned shortly after it. The colony was a monumental achievement and it wasn’t long before the Dragona figured out how to exploit their ancient relics (Ifni di Ancestak, A.K.A. Star gates) to colonize many many worlds with tiny populations.
Later, with the construction their first Star drives, the Dragona began a monumental task, the construction of the legendary city ships (See section: City ships further on). The first ship, built at the capital of Neonopolis, was built just in time as a natural disaster came about.

A plague wiped out a single species in the jungles of Ih8uwannakillu, tipping the delicate balance of its eco system and rapidly causing the ecology to destabilise. The planet was doomed and, seeing this, the Templars and Dragona fled to their off world colonies as their home died behind them.
Relations between the Dragona and Templars have since been friendly, yet precarious, as both races blame the others for the loss of various. An agreement was come to by their 2 leaders that the Galaxy be renamed to Varius in memory of their home world. A sentiment practically close to the hearts of the Dragona as their new home world was renamed Ih8uwannakillu in honour of their original lands. This flight from Varius was later called by the ,then Empress, Nitidus Jicho as the 'Time of fleeing’
