Lexiconian
The Lexiconians, or Lekco in their native language Lehkcia, were a humanoid species that were native to the harsh, dim, frigid, ringed, and high-gravity world Lexicon, famous for their unusual and extremely powerful charging abilities. They had a matriarchal and matrilineal clan-based society with a high emphasis on merit and they were regarded as proud, highly and exceptionally intelligent, and honorable, but as slightly haughty, somewhat warlike, stubborn, and suspicious, and interested in knowledge, research, and politics.

Main Article: Charging Lexiconians are well known for their legendary charging abilities.History
Lexiconian life evolved more slowly, and thus Lexiconians are one of the most oldest and ancient species in the galaxy. In their most ancient days and eons ago, the Lexiconians in fact used to be semi-nomadic, spending the twenty-seven-day night period in their stone and turf houses and the twenty-seven-day period roaming the tundra, gathering fresh water, hunting, foraging for plants and herding kcedhu until they settled down permanently. But they abandoned their semi-nomadic lifestyle extremely long ago, and many denizens of the galaxy think of them as a settled race, not semi-nomads because that's what they've always seen. Their very long ago semi-nomadic lifestyle also helped pave the way for a matriarchical and matrilineal society, because while men and women did many of the same tasks and jobs and traveled together, men tended to herd kcedhu and be out a lot longer out and fought in wars more, and in that case, the females tended to handle the political and economic stuff more since the men were out further. Add to the fact that the natural gender rate is 107 females per 100 males, it made females the dominant gender in Lexiconian society no matter what.Civilization and Culture
Common Taboos
Terms to refer to Lexiconians and insults/slurs/derogatory terms
Lexiconians also called Lexes, Lexxies, Lexans, Heavyworlders, Literal Gods and Roalasists by the denizens of the galaxy. These are common and not derogatory, except for 'Literal God', which is veiwed as rather annoying. The term smart-ass is considered mild. Comparing them to a dictionary is ill-advised. The joke's not funny, and it still isn't funny to them. Derogatory terms and slurs for Lexiconians are short devil, coldie, paleskin, wonderkind, sun-spawn, flying demon, freak, and Kcedhu casanova (very offensive). Calling them cowards is a no-no as well as calling them honorless or dishonorable. On the flip side, don't really insult their intelligence. And don't insult their god Roalas. Insults like sl** or b****, basically all of the sexist and misogynist swear words which are unfortunately very common in the galaxy, land even more harder and have even more harsher emphasis and meaning to Lexiconians, who absolutely despise them. The most serious insult of all though, was insulting their mother, as well as their Vhara too, which are the most serious of them all. Do NOT insult a Lexiconian's mother or their Vhara. Also, Lexiconians utterly loathe and despise 'yo mama' jokes no matter what. Such jokes do not amuse them and it's not funny to them. It's often called their berserk button. If you want a Lexiconian to attack you, insult their mother or crack a 'your mama' joke. This hatred is due to their matriarchal and matrilineal society, where a woman has more respect and power than a man despite the slight egalitarian nature and the high emphasis on merit. Denizens of the galaxy, even from patriarchal societies, know the quickest way to get on a Lexiconian's bad side is to crack a 'Yo mama' joke so they avoid using them. NEVER make fun of a Lexiconian's Mother.
