This is an idea I came up with and decided to jot down. I welcome any and all comments, whether they be critiques, additions, edits, compliments, or whatever it is you want to say about it. It's a little long so I understand if no one decides to read it, but if you're bored and wanna check it out, then here goes:
Name of Race: Graviton
Lore: In the age before the worm gods and the Traveler, there was a darker threat than what we have come to know: The Gravitons. An enemy born from the depths of black holes after supernovas. Fully enveloped and transformed by the void itself. Once thought to be long gone since the age of the Traveler, a leader has risen: Marzahkyn, who was born from a supernova in the third star system of Andromeda, the origin place of the rare Three of Coins.
Minions (Red-Bar):
Graviton Wyvern – A dragon who fires poisonous void flames
Berserkers – Gladiators transformed by the void: their main weapon is a giant buster sword; they’re extremely swift and can leap great distances for close quarters engagement, but also have a ranged “graviton strike” that acts similar to that of a psion wave, but not nearly as far, and is more powerful
Reapers – The physical embodiment of the void, their main weapon are dual chakrams laced with void energy and can teleport enemies upon hit, though more powerful reapers will carry a bow and scythe
Majors (Yellow-Bar): Enlightened Wyvern, Risen Beserker, Anointed Reaper
Ultras: Zyrk, Blade of Marzahkyn (Berserker Commander, wields dual buster swords), Raevyn, Wings of Marzahkyn (King of Wyverns, A Giant Dragon), Bòl, Breath of Marzahkyn (Twin-Headed Reaper, Wields dual Scythes and has a breathing attack called Graviton Storm
Leader: Marzahkyn of the Third Star (Winged Reaper, Fires a bow with 3 arrows at a time, wields a Ginormous Scythe known as Novasoul)

I just edited the post guys, so tell me what you think of the edited version, thanks!!

So, a Shaxx Dragon? Like, a Wyvern with 1 horn, instead of 2? Or something like one of the Kaiju from Pacific Rim?
-
So the flood?
-
"the infected" doesn't seem like a suitable name for airborne dragons.
-
Nice!
-
Careful. Warframe has a race called the Infested which function kind of similarly (pathogen that infect other races.) The Flood also do a similar thing.
-
That would be cool. Hopefully it can make it into D3
