Well, when you feel motivated to update the content then I would like to contribute. I have entries available for some Lexxian terms that are missing from your dictionary:
[b]Buckyball[/b]
A geodesic spheroid composed of triangular faces designed for optimal resistance to stress and used in spaceship design. Invented by and named after R. Buckminster Fuller. Mantrid had a number of buckyballs, one of which he used as a decoy to trap Brizon.
[b]Castro Monument[/b]
Monolithic monument erected in Cuba after the death of Fidel Castro to honor El Presidente. A reporter noticed the Washington Monument in the background of the faked Cuban militant videotape, but Prince said it was the Castro Monument.
[b]Cimmeria[/b]
Region near the Black Sea that was occupied by nomadic barbarians from circa 3000 to 634 B.C. A 4000 year old carving from Cimmeria uncovered by Dr. Longbore depicted a dark figure and the Seal of the Divine Order.
[b]Cluster Lizard[/b]
4 meter long encephalophagous reptile inhabiting the Cluster, but originally from a very hot planet. Used by the Divine Order for cruel and unusual execution. Cluster lizards have no legs, but their ventral surfaces are equipped with two rows of pseudopods, allowing them to roll in hoops after prey. An accident in a lusticon chamber left Zev Bellringer with 17% Cluster lizard D.N.A.
[b]Dominatrix[/b]
Sadistic female soul who almost killed Stan in one of the tunnels on Fire. She was reincarnated on Earth as Dravidia.
[b]Grey[/b]
Type of extraterrestrial biological entity that 21st century humans believed was visiting Earth. The image of the Grey was used by Haig-Schlieffen operatives.
[b]Guglielmo Marconi[/b]
Human who transmitted the first radio signal. It was apparently received by an extragalactic intelligence.
[b]International Space Station[/b]
A multinational space project. Started in 1997, abandoned in 2001, and accidentally destroyed by the Lexx in 2020.
[b]Mars[/b]
Fourth nearest planet to the Sun. Destroyed by the Lexx under the command of Lulu.
[b]Nanites[/b]
Cell-sized machines. Mantrid’s drone arms contained nanites, allowing them to deconstruct and reconfigure matter. Kai proposed a plan for the construction of a spaceship with nanites to Dr. Longbore’s followers.
[b]Net[/b]
Large spaceborne organism. Consists of a spider and a web.
[b]Plasma[/b]
Collection of positively and negatively charged particles exhibiting properties of both a gas and some a form of energy. Plasma is used in the power cores of certain space stations. Doctors on the MedSat Medical Terminal tried to destroy Kai by bombarding him with plasma tapped from the station’s core, but instead completely disintegrated themselves and mostly disintegrated Zev.
[b]Pluto[/b]
Planetoid discovered in 1930 by Clyde Arthur Tombaugh. The subject of an enormous scientific controversy in the late 20th and early 21st century over whether or not it was a true planet. The Lexx said it was “maybe” the Solar System’s ninth planet. Stan destroyed Pluto in a test of the Lexx’s targeting systems.
[b]Robot Intuition[/b]
Form of extrasensory perception supposedly possessed by robotic drones.
[b]Seal of the Divine Order[/b]
7-part clockwise metallic aperture-shaped icon that was the symbol of the Cluster, the Divine Order, and the League of 20,000 Planets. The Seal of the Divine Order appears on the clothing of Divine Clerics, the Lexx’s moths, the stonework of the Castle Drakul, a carving from ancient Cimmeria, a painting from 16th century Carpathia, and a woodcarving Father Borscht owned. It is always associated with death. The Seal of the Divine Order was based on the Insect exoskeleton.
[b]Star Child[/b]
Ancient skull unearthed near Chihuahua, Mexico that some believe is the remains of a human-Grey hybrid. A photograph of the Star Child was on a bulletin board in the headquarters of Dr. Longbore’s followers.
[b]Trin[/b]
Spaceborne carnivorous plant. Subdue prey using telepathic and shapeshifting techniques. Lyekka was a Trin.
[b]Vacuum Vortex Anticelestiometathesis[/b]
The entry into a planet’s atmosphere via a vacuum vortex, or funnel (the vernacular term is “tornado”). It allows a craft to land without the stress of entry, but the vortex is difficult to exit because of the violent effects it has on the surrounding atmosphere. Kai piloted a moth into the atmosphere of the planet Woz via vacuum vortex anticelestiometathesis from a preexisting vacuum funnel, but not without a hitch.
[b]Venus[/b]
Second nearest planet to the Sun. Destroyed by the Lexx under the command of Lulu.
[b]Von Neumann Planetoid[/b]
A donut-shaped celestial body with a ring-shaped center of gravity, of the type predicted by 20th century Earth astrophysicist John von Neumann. Stanley Tweedle destroyed a von Neumann planetoid to demonstrate the Lexx’s capabilities to the Gollean clan.
[b]”The Wheel[/b]
7-stanza poem composed by Kai while under the influence of Ruuma’s radiation.
[b]792[/b]
Robotic butler for Governor Roada and Lady Heedia. His body was eaten by Lyekka, and his head was destroyed by Mantrid.
[b]2020[/b]
This number appears on the title card for “Xevivor.” It is presumably the year the episode takes place.
If you need a [i]Lexx[/i] timeline for your site you may have the one that I posted on the board. I’m not going to use it.
