-*In the [[wikipedia:Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar|Dark Avatar]] expansion to [[wikipedia:Galactic Civilizations II|Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords]], the Drengin race has split into two factions/subraces: the genocidal Korath (a clear reference to the name [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah|Kohr-Ah]]), which desire the annihilation of all non-Drengin sentience, and the Krynn, which plead for the use of other races as slaves.
