My DA Page.Oh man, this is awesome. I bought the series back in 2015, and I always struggled to imagine the Race and put it down in paper, but your illustrations are perfect! They don't look so big or so small, and when you remove gun and armor, they look like a normal people (as aliens can get).
Keep it up, man. Do you have any place where you upload your art?
This is a Beffel (plural Befflem). Befflem are creatures native to the Homeworld of The Race. They are squat armored omnivores that filled a niche similar to that of badgers. Unlike badgers, they're highly social. A quality which was maximized by tens of thousands of years of domestication by the Race which keeps them as pets. Like other domesticated animals, Befflem were brought to Tosev III by the Colonization Fleet when it arrived in 1962 and soon enough the native Tosevites had begun adopting them as pets alongside Dogs and Cats (which some soldiers of the Conquest Fleet had adopted as their own pets). Befflem are very friendly and playful, though they need a fair amount of attention as if they get bored they can run amok. Unfortunately some Befflem got loose and became a problematic introduced species in Tosev III's tropics.
The bigger issue would be that the Domination would self destruct when the Race touched down. Their secure Police Zones would suddenly be subjected to massive assaults rolling over plantations and compounds like nobody's business. The Armies pushing north would wither and die without support and even in the face of conquest many people will still keep fighting them as the Aliens are the lesser of two evils. The Domination's air force and airships would be obliterated, preventing retaliation against liberated serfs. Basically everything that happened in Poland with the Jews in the Tosev Timeline will happen across Africa without the baggage. All of which happens in prime territory The Race wants. And if the holdouts pose much of a problem Atvar can turn the main population centers of the Domination to radioactive ash.I wonder how the Hondo-III of the Draka Dominion would've fared against a Race Landcruiser?
IIRC the Hondo-III also had a 120mm gun but not any of the other high tech components of the Landcruiser. I think it would've been kind of like an up-gunned Centurion going against an M1-A1 Abrams.
I've mentioned on the "Misc. World War Invasion" thread that a Race invades the Drakaverse TL would be pretty cool.The bigger issue would be that the Domination would self destruct when the Race touched down.
