Rictkuxynieropgabe (Rihs-chuh/ks/-y-nih-ohp-gah-BEH)

The Rictkuxynieropgabe is the military of Lexicon. The Rictkuxynieropgabe mainly consists of the Lexiconian Army and the Lexiconian Navy. Both branches were small, but highly well-trained, deadly, and well-equipped, with a strong culture of discipline and respect.   It was a completely different thing from Lekcaekon Saka'dkwoco, as LeSak was civilian and largely focused on keeping the peace, policing the planet, and upholding and enforcing the law, whearas was focused solely on the defense of Lexicon and its interests against external armed threats, even though they cooperated from time to time in cases which both required their input and fell under their jurisdiction.

    Culture

    Despite how Lexiconians strongly value knowledge, education and learning, they are not cowards, and they are not pacifists and peace-loving. They actually look down and take a dim view on pacifists, calling them 'push-overs' and 'weak-minded idiots who can't even stand up for themselves'.
      They had a long, honorable, and proud warrior tradition, for they had fought many wars over Lexicon's scarce resources, were eternally suspicious of each other, and were not averse to war. Despite being scientists, scholars, and researchers, people often thought of them as somewhat war-like.
      It is also helped that Lexiconians are taught basic combat moves from an young age to control, manage, hone, and get used to charging and all of their natural abilities. Thusly, they are fully aware of their abilities and they aren't afraid to use them.
      As a result, Lexiconians veiw the miltary with high respect.
      Lexiconians who serve in the Rictkuxynieropgabe are held to a higher amount of discipline.
     

    Uniforms

    The Rictkuxynieropgabe wear uniforms which consist of tight black pants, knee high leather boots, and a long sleeved, high-necked jacket with an double-breasted flap that reached the hips. The Rictkuxynieropgabe used colors to classify among the two branches of Rictkuxynieropgabe, which were the navy and the army, with light grey for the navy and dark brown for the army. As a result, people in the navy wore a light grey jacket and people in the army wore a dark brown jacket. Rank insignia was prominently displayed on the upper right side of the wearer's chest in the form of as well as the Rictkuxynieropgabe emblem, and flag officers (generals and admirals) additionally had shoulder marks on their shoulders. The heads of each branch (Fleet Admiral and General of the Army) also wore one aiguillette (an ornamental braided cord with decorative metal tips) on the right shoulder, whereas the Head of Defense, whom both branch leaders directly report too (and is always a civilian to specifically avoid branch rivalries so doesn't wear the uniform) wears two aiguillettes, one on the right shoulder, the other on the left shoulder over their clothes to indicate their position as head of everyone. Headwear consisted of a black-colored lined snood that was underneath a patrol cap that corresponded to branch color. Dress uniforms consisted of a long sleeved, high-necked jacket with an double-breasted flap corresponding to branch color that reached the knee with modest and short hanging sleeves, an under jacket in black, looser black pants, and rank insignia and honors displayed on the upper right side of the wearer's chest, as well as the Rictkuxynieropgabe emblem. Headwear for dress uniform consisted of a black-colored lined snood and over it a side cap that corresponds to branch color.
