Draco Galaxy: Accession

by Ventail

The Reapers have ruled the Milky Way for millennia but what about the neighboring dwarf galaxies? What happens when isolated civilizations make contact? Will the history of one galaxy reveal the secrets of our own? Warning:this is a mostly non canon story and only a few of the characters from the original games will have major parts, there will be new races and a different ending.

1. Prologue

.258 Mly away from the milky way lies the Draco galaxy. While the naive human and militaristic Turians skirmish over accidental parley much older conflicts run deep in the Draco Dwarf Galaxy. Untouched by the cyclic genocide in the Milky way but not removed. Distant but not completely irrelevant. The ancient Dreda and even more archaic Acallari dominate Draco. Embroiled in short wars but undying division.

The Dreda a race of progress and technology yet traditionalism. Expansion but conservation. Seeking strong society but also an even stronger weapons.

The Dreda had invented the weave drive hoping it would let them rule over their world with an iron fist but it only caused division. They created levitational technologies for transportation and machinery only to see them used to pull their ships into the ground. With every technology there are treasures and repercussions.

The Dreda have no control over their thirst for battle many world lie unusable and smashed to pieces with weapons of an apocalypse. Drecian sovereignty are broken up into many planet states or a capital planet and its surrounding aligned worlds. Small to massive armies fight in cataclysmic battle for control of the once glorious united empire. But the Dreda's real battle is with the Acallari.

The Acallari, a united empire under many different clans. From a home world with an average temperature of -10° Celsius. A people whose life lies on their honor in everyday life but even more so in combat. Hand to hand combat. Swords of unimaginably strong alloys and volcanic heats passed down father to son, mother to daughter.

The Dreda's way of combat is seen as blasphemy with their use of long range artillery and high power guns arguing their ways only lead to self destruction. The Acallari's solution is to smother Dreda expansion before Draco goes dim.

While the Dreda in all respects have the strategic advantage, the Acallari have a natural affinity to hand to hand combat. Through the speeding up of one's thought Acallari can "slow time". They call it Aerithy with enough training Acallari can analyze situation longer, have unmatched swordsmanship and even dodge bullets.

The Dreda and the Acallari unaffected by reaper influence managed to create vastly different technology. Using weave instead of warp drives. Weave drives connect two points in space creating a small wormhole like pinching opposite ends of a piece of fabric and pulling a needle through. Initially requiring unobtainable amounts of energy optimization and alternate energy sources made the process costly but reasonable. Acallari use it to "teleport" into enemy ships and cut the crew to pieces while Dreda implement the tech into travel and long range weaponry.

Also utilizing lev or levitational technology discovered after the weave drive used for moving objects purely by manipulating the space time around them.

The unending battle between these two races is another story for another time. The accidental contact between The milky way and its satellite leading to the liberation from the cycle is the grander story.
