History
In the year 1645, an outbreak of Skreeths was discovered and the Time Lords dispatched the Doctor to enlist allies to stop the infection. After informing the Draconians, they decided to adopt a "scorched galaxy" policy which involved obliterating any worlds that developed signs of infection. This was something that the Doctor later regretted after the chain of events, though he later managed to end the infection from spreading. (ST: The Devil Like a Bear)
During the reign of the fifteenth Emperor (at some point during the 21st century), Draconia was suffering from a plague. The Doctor came to the planet and cured the plague. He was remembered as the form of a painting in the Emperor Palace. (MA: The Dark Path)
In 2487, two Draconians were at New Memphis. (NSA: Judgement of the Judoon)
In the 25th century, The Doctor was in a high-stake poker game with a Draconian. The Doctor won a planet in the Magellanis system, giving it back to the Earth Colonies but retaining nominal ownership. (VD: Lonely Days)
By the 26th century, the expanding Draconian Empire came into contact with the Earth Empire. A misunderstanding during first contact led to the destruction of a Draconian vessel and a brief but devastating war, which ended with the signing of a peace treaty.
Twenty years later, the Master attempted to sabotage the fragile peace, but was thwarted by the Doctor and Jo Grant. (DW: Frontier in Space)
In 3375, several Draconians, including Salamanca, worked on-board the Piri Reis. When the Darkheart was used, the Draconians were all turned into Humans. (MA: The Dark Path)

Though they all had greviences with him, they were able to work together to take control of their transport and then steal a Judoon ship. The Draconian was able to contact the Draconian Empire, who fought back against the Judoon loyal to the Advocate. (IDW: Fugitive)
