Wow, blast from the past. I read these novels two decades last, so my memory is fuzzy, but iirc, the New Race Draka had better combat feats, especially against the nanotech cyborgs their archenemies used. I'm not sure the Pak, as dangerous as they are, ever fought equals?
I don't recall lots of H2H Pak battles. The Pak are just monomanical and very smart technologically.
