History
Prior to 2150, Travis Mayweather visited Draylax aboard the ECS Horizon so he was able to confirm the rumors Charles Tucker III had heard about Draylaxians. (ENT episode: "Broken Bow") While on Draylax, Mayweather also had a relationship with Gannet Brooks. (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
In 2152, Trip Tucker used Draylax in a geography game he played with Captain Jonathan Archer. (ENT episode: "Desert Crossing")
In 2155, Draylax joined a mutual defense pact with Alpha Centauri, which had a similar agreement with Earth. It was for this reason that the Columbia had to defend Draylax against an apparent attack of three Klingon battle cruisers. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru)
On Saturday, 1 May 2160, the Romulans attacked Draylax, using the same warp-speed kamikaze run that was employed at Coridan Prime and Galorndon Core, causing massive fires and volcanic eruptions all over the planet. Over a billion Draylaxians were killed, and more deaths were expected. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)
In the 23rd century, Draylax was known for a tea export, Draylax fire tea. (TOS eBook: Shadow of the Machine)
