Are the Draka really that anachronistic and overpowered? We look at some socio-political factors that can account for their military tech being ahead of everyone else, and also some new never-before-seen Draka illustrations so it’s not just watching an old nerd talk about a book the whole time. Marching Through Georgia, written by S.M. Stirling cover art by Kevin Davies Rank insignia used in our illustrations is based on the design from Alkar555 (deviantart.com/alkar555) but it’s treated as a loose suggestion. “Tacti-Cool Draka” illustration based on a Maya sculpt by Michael Maehring (michael.maehring.at) Other artwork and photos are either known to be public domain or old enough they damn well should be.
