The Draka are the fictional creations of science fiction author S.M. Stirling. In his Draka series, he made up an alternative history timeline that is among the most revered but also hotly debated. The Draka started out in what we call South Africa, and went on to create a Sparta/Nazi-like society that eventually conquered the world. Through extreme genetic engineering, the Draka recreated themselves to be the living embodiments of their own warped ideals. This is a GURPS player's roleplaying game supplement page about them. I thought this might make interesting food for thought among transhumanists. <br>
<br>"Homo Drakensis" is most disturbing in that they control others through pheromones and have brains that have been genetically engineered to take aggression and the need for dominance to great extremes. "Homo Servus" is what is left of "Homo Sapiens Sapiens." They have been crafted to be very compliant and are especially susceptible to Homo Drakensis pheromone influence. The Draka, though very intelligent, lost some of the normal human scientific intuitiveness and creativity due to their extreme brain modifications that enhanced their capacities for combat. And so Homo Servus engineers and scientists are highly prized in keeping technological innovation going. <br>
