When the planet was first colonized, the native [[naeori]] survived the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s [[terraforming]] process by hiding deep beneath the surface of Draco III's water bodies.{{Ref/Reuse|nb15}} Shortly before the [[Human-Covenant War]], an assassination attempt on Draco III's president occurred in [[New Albany]]'s [[Draco III capitol building|capitol building]]. While the assassination attempt had failed, transparent [[energy shielding]] was installed to protect the presidential balcony.<ref name="nb22">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 22-24'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | |||

[[New Albany]] was the capital city of Draco III; the [[Draco III capitol building|capitol building]] located in New Albany served as the seat of the Draconian colonial government. Debates were held, and laws were formed and passed in the capitol building's legislature chambers. Draco III's head of state—at least prior to the [[Covenant]] attack—was a president; the government of Draco III was presumably a presidential [[democracy]].{{Ref/Reuse|nb22}} | [[New Albany]] was the capital city of Draco III; the [[Draco III capitol building|capitol building]] located in New Albany served as the seat of the Draconian colonial government.

Fishing is a popular industry on Draco III, particularly around the city of [[Karnak]]. While fish farms filled the Draconians' seafood demand, some fishers sought to capture the native, elusive [[naeori]]. Due to the animal's tenaciousness, only [[shocknet]]s were capable of capturing them. Fishing for naeori and other large native creatures is considered to be the equivalent to [[Earth]]'s [[Wikipedia:American frontier|American frontier]], where Draconians could feel free from the rest of society.{{Ref/Reuse|nb15}} | Fishing is a popular industry on Draco III, particularly around the city of [[Karnak]].
