Drakh Fleet Book, The

Deserted by their former masters, the Shadows, the Drakh are a race cast adrift, unsure of their true role in the galaxy. Where they once served the greatest of Old Ones, they now only have a burning desire for vengeance against the young races who forced the Shadows to withdraw form the galaxy.

Retaining the technology they gained from the Shadows, the Drakh are a potent race, expert at the manipulation of others and the application of precise force at critical junctures that can influence the course of history itself. They have held the entire Centauri Republic under their sway, unleashed a Shadow Cloud planet-killer and released a deadly plague on Earth that has forced the entire world into quarantine. Even now, humanity races for a cure to the Drakh plague that has the potential to annihilate every human on Earth in less than five years.

The Drakh are infinitely patient, prepared to wait for decades to see their plans come to fruition. This alone sets them apart from the other young races who too often seek to accomplish the impossible with an immediate rush. Their machinations are only now beginning to be felt across the galaxy and no one can predict what effect they may have. Aided by a large and extremely powerful fleet, what the Drakh cannot accomplish by subversion can clearly be succeeded by raw force. Only one thing remains clear.

The legacy of the Shadows will hang over the galaxy for many more years to come.
