 ======  Draka ======
-A timeline created by S.M. Stirling in which a British officer develops a quasi-automatic gun, misses his early death in [[OTL]], as well as the Loyalists from the American Revolutionary War are settled in South Africa, thereby creating a racist autocratic regime that makes WW2 Germany seem trivial.  It is often regarded by most AH fans/writers as a synonym for TL's that often go into the wayside of darkness and horror. Often times, the Dominion of Draka is shown either holding all of Southern Africa and/or all of Africa.

 The Draka have gone down in infamy as some of the premier villains in the genre of [[alternate history]] (along with the antagonists from the assorted [[Third Reich#Nazis]]/[[Confederate States|Confederates]] win scenarios). Created by writer [[S. M. Stirling#Stirling]] for his //Domination// series, the Draka are a race of [[Loyalists|American Loyalist]]-[[Afrikaners#Afrikaner]]-[[Hesse|Hessian]]-[[offtopic:France|Franco]]-[[offtopic:Iceland|Icelandic]]-[[Confederate States#Confederate]]-[[Sparta|Spartans]] who, over the course of two centuries or so, manage to conquer the [[Earth|world]] and the [[Solar System]]. Yes, really...

 [[offtopic: Jared]] has posted on several occasions within discussions about //**[[timelines: Decades of Darkness]]**// that this novel series was his inspiration, albeit with a more realistic tone, although the exact post nor words cannot be provided at this time.
