[QUOTE=Mr. Excellent]  
The Emergents would clean the floor with the ruins of the Draka and Nietzchean civilizations alike. Actually, they’d Focus the survivors and make them do the clean-up.

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton]  
On [two](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=219683) [occasions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361442) I posed the same question about (genetically unmodified human) Draka vs. Dorsai, but for some reason almost nobody bit.  
[/QUOTE]

I bit, I bit hard - but as you can see, my opinion’s not changed at all.

Man, I fucking hate the Draka.

[QUOTE=Lumpy]  
Or would they decide the other was worthy enough to join together?  
[/QUOTE]

The Draka wouldn’t ally themselves with the Nazis – they probably wouldn’t with the Nietzscheans either. There’s only room for one Race.

[/QUOTE]  
I haven’t read the whole series but my understanding was that the Draka regarded the Nazis as posers who simply presumed that being Aryan made them superior. The Nietzscheans would have quite a bit more cred.
