In 2152, Trip Tucker used Draylax in a geography game he played with Captain Jonathan Archer. (ENT episode: "Desert Crossing")
In 2155 Draylax had recently joined mutual defense pact with Alpha Centauri which in terms had a similar agreement with Earth. That's why on July 18, 2155 Columbia NX-02 had to defend Draylax against in an apparent attack of three Klingon battle cruisers. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru (novel))
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)
