Droashav are six-limbed pseudoreptilians found on Trevannic (Gateway 2219). They stand 1.5-2m tall on their hind limbs, with two pairs of arms. Droashav feet are clawed, and can be used in close combat. Their green-brown hide is tough and can be treated as leather armor. Droashav are physically powerful and tough, and have a warrior-hunter mentality.

Most Droashav live in a TL-1 society composed of small tribes of desert nomads, but there are some indications that they did not always follow this lifestyle. A TL-4 civilization exists in the northern reaches of Trevannic, and there are other enclaves of higher-tech Droashav.

It is likely that the Droashav are not native to Trevannic, since there are no other 6-limbed creatures on the planet, and no evidence to suggest the Droashav evolved there. There are also folk tales among the Droashav of how their ancestors wandered among the stars. It is thus possible that other enclaves of Droashav exist somewhere, possibly possessing high technology and starships. Such enclaves lie beyond Gateway Domain, however.

A few Droashav leave their world every year aboard starships or as bodyguards for various individuals. A Droashav light infantry company exists, outfitted by off-worlders for mercenary service at TL–8. This unit serves throughout the region, but recruits exclusively on Trevannic.
