Description: Hyper-evolved and genetically re-engineered biological weapons of mass destruction these once endangered, near-extinct species of dragon once regarded as gods worthy of tribute on their homeworld of Solaris and proud progenitors of the now dwindling Dravala this species has been pulled from the brink of extinction and into vainglorious perfection by the might of Domina Prime. Towering draconian creatures adorned in shimmering, armored scales and crystallized design structures capable of conducting mass amounts of energy, powerful bodies capable of cleaving through most environments these incredible winged warmounts have been selected as prospects of prime for genetic re-engineering and forced evolution to design the perfect Mandalorian Warmount rivaling that of even the most bizarre of Sithspawn Night Creatures. Dovadrakes have been perfectly assimilated by Prime and over time morphed into the perfect Warborn Apex Predator~

CULTURE & BELIEFS
Diet: Dovahdrakes being ever the deadly predators it is no surprise that Scientist are often baffled by thr lifeforms ability to rapidly adapt to its environment. Nomadic by nature and and sharing much in common with their Queen Domina Prime these creatures almost exclusively eat and devour living creatures. Hunting by air, ground and even sea via dive-fishing into the surface of water in order to snatch prey from the depths of the ocean. The bigger the prey, the more satisfying the kill and even greater the feast. Operating as both swarm hunters or solo killers from above it is not beyond Dovahdrakes to kill prey several times their size. From Acklay, Nexu, Rancors to Kryat Dragons. Given just how massive the elder Dovadrakes can get a single fully grown Dovah can grab a Rancor and fly them to the peak of a mighty mountain to feed their young. Capable of carrying several tons more their own weight into the clouds above, devouring the meat in peace and then within the same fleight will drop the corpse back to earth leaving a crater of carnage and gore in their wake.
Communication: While a vast majority of the remaining species is semi-sentient and thus lacks the ability to fully imitate language due to their inability to preform speech. However, what Dovahdrakes do possess is an extremely complex hive-mind mental link that allows the Swarm to communicate over incredibly long distances in order to coordinate with the collective. This communication makes them natural born hunters as they utilize body highly aggressive body language, audio cues such as clicks, chitters and audible shrills in order to establish pecking order dominance within the swarm. Though it is regularly accepted by the remnants of the species that dominance is almost always granted to the eldest and most physically developed Dovahdrakes who tend to tower above the others standing at a recorded max of 150m. It should also be noted that this mental link can be formed with other species, most notably the bonds whom Dovadrakes form with their potential Soulbonds. The most successful bonds tend to be formed before a Dovadrake is even hatched from their egg. The warmth and touch of a humanoid slowly creating an electromagnetic link between the two which only becomes more potent the longer a Dovah remains in close proximity to its Bond. Granting riders who manage to tame and pacify young hatchlings an eternal bond that only ends in death itself. Establishing such bonds with fully grown or even adolescent Dovahdrakes have been known to be incredibly unsuccessful.
Technology level: Due to being feral, primitive creatures the concept of technology is all but foreign to them. Aside from a basic understanding that technology is used to hunt, kill, and interfere with their lives and thus endangers The Swarm things such as large ships, cruisers, militaristic and civilian transport as the largest threat to their survival especially with the amount of accidents that tend to take place during Hyperspace travel as Dovadrakes will often end up colliding with starships while in hyperlane paths.
Religion/Beliefs: These genetically re-engineered Warbeast have had purpose re-ignited within their blood as the will of Prime has given them new direction as the hive now seeks eternal delight through the sweet domination, conquest and sheer devastation brought upon lesser lifeforms. While once they hid away in the far corners of the cosmic expanse since their newfound power they have been much more antagonistic. Sometimes gathering in their massive swarms just to attack random planets either populated with humanoids and their civilizations or populated with jungles and all manner of beasts just so they may reign fire upon their prey. Much like their progenitor Domina Prime, they seek to further perfect their evolution and devouring powerful species in their glorious hunts to return the assimilated genetic code to their beloved Prime Queen Domina Prime .
General behavior: Incredibly violent and impulsive creatures by design the Dovadrake have been primarily perceived by the lager galaxy as barbaric beasts that were better off on the edge of extinction. Even before their sudden rapid evolution these creatures were hunted for their precious gems and scales as well as imprisoned as exotic pets clipped of their wings and freedom. Needless to say the dragonkin never did shake the chip off their shoulder and has been spending the last ten years coming out of hiding almost exclusively to reek havoc upon the galaxy in a sort of justified vengeance programmed into their very plasma. Vindictive and vengeful by their very nature and seeking constant stimulation and excess, it is a wonder that these creatures found companionship at all! Though in their recent years of activity they have become rather fond of Mandalorians due to their unique relationship with the Grand Huntress and favored daughter of Manda Domina Prime , who has programmed into their instinctive design a friendly outlook on the Children of Manda, leaving many scholars and scientist to believe that some among the Warmongering Clans have managed to pacify and tame the wild beast despite no one having seen a Mandalorian ride upon one or claim ownership of a Dovahdrake. Leading to a large amount of confusing and inconsistent rumors~
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
This complacency is what inevitably led to the invasion of their world through the cutthroat methods of maddened pirates obsessed with the ancient treasure troves of the Dravala and the Trandoshans, a reptile species that sought the slaughter of exotic lifeforms for the appeasement of their strange god. While a good fight was put up by the Dravala, their lack technological advancement put them many years behind their enemies as a vast majority of their dragonkin were either slaughtered by Trandoshans or sold into exotic galactic petting zoos while the Dravala were taken by pirates, robbed of their wealth and effectively sold into bondage by their conquerors.
And with the slow destruction of their once vibrant homeworld both The Dravala and the Dovahdrakes found themselves both in chains, teetering on the edge of extinction as the years passed and their populations dwindled to dangerous numbers. However, as if fate had intervened the very few remaining Dovahdrakes had managed to come under the ownership of a mysterious research station known as TITAN. A strange facility housing a vast collection of bizarre and extremely unnatural lifeforms. They had originally been purchased to conduct experiments on one of the facilities most prized Lifeforms whose study took up more than 70% of the research stations budget.
Attempts to stabilize and control a creature who at the time was known only as Lifeform 18 at the time. The Dovahdrake were essentially used as a test to see the full capabilities of 18's ability to devour, assimilate, and genetically evolve its own code in order to perfectly adapt to future threads and scenarios. Having spent the last several months feeding Lifeform 18 a vast collection of dangerous, extremely violent species of monsters and beast this was the test to see if they could not only evolve their own genetic blueprint, but alter the evolutionary path of OTHER species as well.
The project showed much promise in the proceeding years. The species rapidly developing incredibly powerful features and traits that previously had been foreign to them such as naturally developing organic repulsor-lifts within their bodies as well as crystallized bone fragments. It was eventually discovered however that this species was not only being tested by the scientist, but by the strange Nether Lifeform as well. Many of the starting traits and features developed by the dragons were soon re-tooled and recycled into an even more potent version that Lifeform 18 had tested on them, and then put into perfect practice themselves. And before the crisis could be contained The Facility came under siege by Mandalorians who were quick to clean up shop and slaughter most of the researchers upon discovering what they were doing hidden out in deep space.
Unbeknownst to them however was a collection of about one thousand Dovahdrakes who, with their new evolved biology escaped into the cold void of space. Losing proximity to the creature that had granted them a hivemind to communicate though, these stardragons quickly discovered hollowed out moons and asteroids where they took shelter and remained hidden as they entered a chrysalis-like hibernation state.
And for nearly thirty whole years this is where they have remained. Multiplying SLOWLY within the hidden core of a dead moon, further evolving the genetic advantages given to them years ago and once fully developed had begun to seek the presence of their Hive Queen. For the last five years, this newly adapted species that had been hiding for the better park of three decades finally had awoken from their slumber and set out into the cosmic vastness hoping to seek out their Prime.
And after the recent maturity of Domina Prime with the sprouting of those large azure horns it was almost like drawing moth to a long lost flame. It would not be much longer now before these deadly dragons would be re-united with their Queen Mother. And since their renewal to the galaxy, many Dovahdrake seemed to have taken an instinctive liking to Mandalorian. Having a basc understanding of its culture and language due to the mental link between the dragons and Domina, whom was raised by Mandalorians and thus sees them as kin, effecting the way the dragons see them as well by indirectly influencing their primitive instincts.
Needless to say, anyone else unfortunate enough to come within these stardragons path don't often live to tell about it. For the last five years they have been causing absolute chaos in the outer rim, ever so slowly encroaching their way deeper into the galactic spotlight.
