Ok this in't a very original idea of itself more realistic Draka timelines seem to be a dime a dosen round here but they have one thing in common they all seem to end in the Draka being defeated or at any rate failing to conquer the world. Since the whole point of the series seems to be a bad guy wank this seems a little odd to me. So what features might a realistic Draka timetable that still involves them winning (eventually) have and what alterations to Draka society might be necessary.
Two ideas to get you thinking.
1 The Draka have several periods of time that they seem to be (indeed prehaps are) liberalising granting rights to serfs etc only for events to halt this resulting in them being less obviously a threat. (can really only work for so long if you wast them to conquer.
2 The free world develops into a much worse place (think capatilism as portrayed by the most hysterical communist propoganda or stalanist states resulting in less reason for the draka to be resisted.
