Pax Dracon is the capital planet and city of the  Drakari Celestial Imperium . Homeworld of the long-lived Drakari species, throne-world of the Imperium, and center of the Imperial Senate, Pax Dracon has proven to be a beacon of hope and civilization since the Great Unification some twelve-thousand years prior. Hosting a number of settlements great and small, Pax Dracon hosts a sizeable population, in addition to being visited by countless visitors for matters of state, tourism, and religious pilgrimages.

History

When Drakari civilization first arose is a matter of much debate, but what is agreed upon that after millennia of petty kingdoms and nations vying for glory and territory, each trying to grasp for the wonders of past eras, one faction eventually rose to global dominance and ushered in a golden age of unity and prosperity. This faction, the ancient House of Io (who have claimed to be descended from the mytho-historic First King from whom they take their name), worked to spearhead the age of exploration and colonization of the Ladon system, the first of many expeditions spreading the nascent Imperium across the stars.

Geography and Infrastructure

A veritable paradise after countless centuries of careful cultivation, Pax Dracon is a marvel of temperate fields and forests, soaring mountains, lush jungles, and sweltering deserts, with much of the population living in massive, carefully developed cities and arcologies scattered across the mountains and plains. The greatest of these settlements is the Silver City, capital city of the planet and the Imperium as a whole and considered one of the greatest feats of urban development for parsecs around.

Satellites

Pax Dracon possesses three natural satellites: the greater moon Authea, terraformed by an unknown civilization in the distant past and colonized as a paradise world and trade center in the first wave of interplanetary exploration, and the lesser moons Atrion and Vailea, home to numerous mining and research operations.
