Triaxus

Even with minor outliers like Aylok, nowhere did the advent of the Pact have a greater effect than in the Skyfire Mandate. With
peace—if a tense one—between dragons and humanoids, and
with spaceflight replacing planetary combat in importance, the
territory’s famed Dragon Legion found itself without a purpose.
In response, its leaders took to the stars, and today the rebranded
Skyfire Legion forms an elite and highly principled mercenary
organization, selling its protection to well-meaning colonists
and corporations operating beyond the solar system (and thus
outside the Stewards’ protection). Now the dragonkin themselves
are only occasionally ridden in atmosphere. Many starfaring
dragonkin families have resorted to genetic engineering to reduce
their size to better fit in the narrow corridors of space stations
and starships, and thanks to their near-telepathic bond with their
partners, no humanoid of the legion would dream of flying a
starfighter without her dragonkin copilot.
Outside of the Allied Territories, a notable exception to prevailing
Triaxian culture is the continent of Ning, long cut off from the other
nations by the vast Sephorian Sea. Like backward-looking Aylok,
Ning has refused to acknowledge the Pact’s authority, but it has
embraced modernization, making it a haven for corporations,
criminals, and all others that seek to avoid Pact control. Far from
being a lawless society, however, Ning is obsessed with honor
and status—traits that attract a fair number of kasatha and vesk
immigrants—and its upper class, led by the Immortal Suzerain,
keeps its citizens safe from dangers both domestic and foreign.
Culturally, Ning is best known for the ukara, or “battleflowers”:
lithe, genderless warriors—often solarians—who compete in
broadcasted ritual combat in exchange for system-wide celebrity.

Fauna & Flora
The cycle between summer and winter takes a little over three hundred Pact Standard years, with whole generations living and dying in a single season and plant and animal life forming two nearly separate ecologies, each going dormant during its off season.
Of the creatures that adapt to both, the most prominent are the humanoid ryphorians.

History
/*remember to also keep the Triaxite ethnicity's history up-to-date*/
- The planet is unified by a warlord-dragon by the name of Triaxus. His empire would last for a few hundred years before shattering upon his death - enough time for the planet to adopt the name of his empire, and himself.
- For millennia, the fractious humanoid nations of the Allied Territories battled against the dragon-ruled nations of the Drakelands. The tactically crucial Skyfire Passage between the two warring continents was the vital strategic chokepoint that both sides battled over.
