| - The Luxans (LUXIZA Luxio superior) are a cold-blooded race of humanoids that reside on several of the major planets of the Granaam system, primarily the planet of their origin, Luxiza. They pride themselves immensely on their economy and its efficiency, which stems from the simple system of bludgeoning all those who don’t buy from the right shops over the head repeatedly. As a result, most of Luxiza and its neighboring planets have been taken over by companies like Macrosoft, SmarT Co. Inc. Industries and Calell.
- Standing at an average height of over 6 feet tall, they possess great strength to match their height. They also have a poisonous tongue which is prehensile. Another feature is that their blood, which bleeds black at first, must turn clear before the wound can heal, otherwise it will turn poisonous and the Luxan will die. Seemingly only attributed to males, they are prone to something called "Hyper Rage" which sends them into a wild and violent frenzy particularly towards other males.
- Luxans have an excellent sense of smell. They also have prehensile tongues that can extend several feet either to grab objects or to deliver an adaptive venom which stuns but does not kill the victim. Luxans have two hearts. They can safely survive in the vacuum of space for a quarter of an arn. When they are injured, a Luxan's blood runs reddish-black. In order to heal, the wounded area must be deliberately hit or squeezed immediately to increase the bleeding until the dark blood starts to run clear. If this is not done, the toxicity of the dark blood can kill the individual. This "black blood" response is much like an infected wound humans may experience. Draining the black blood is akin to draining the pus.
- Luxans are a fierce warrior race, whose physical makeup is bent towards survival and victory in combat. Aside from being exceptionally strong and agile, they possess two hearts, giving them enhanced constitutions. Luxans can survive in the vacuum of space for at least one-quarter arn. Also they have a surprisingly long and prehensile tongue covered with a toxin that causes unconsciousness when it stings someone. With practice, Luxans can use their tongues to wrap around objects, and can support a good amount of weight. Their planet is very hot so they are comfortable at higher temperatures.

| - Luxans are a fierce warrior race, whose physical makeup is bent towards survival and victory in combat. Aside from being exceptionally strong and agile, they possess two hearts, giving them enhanced constitutions. Luxans can survive in the vacuum of space for at least one-quarter arn. Luxans have protruding brow ridges that extend around to the sides of the head, plate-covered noses, long chins that come to a point, and approximately eight tentacles (called "tenkas") that hang down from the back of the head. The tenkas have no muscular function but are sensitive to pleasure and pain. The scalps of males are bald but have beards that run from beside their noses to above the area where ears would be. Mustache-like portions of the beard hang down to the chest and are braided. The exposed skin of the chin and head is often tattooed. Chin tattoos may denote military rank. Also they have a surprisingly long and prehensile tongue covered with a toxin that causes unconsciousness when it stings someone. With practice, Luxans can use their tongues to wrap around objects, and can support a good amount of weight. When Luxans are wounded, a quirk of their physiology requires that their blood, which flows black at first, must flow until it turns translucent. Otherwise the blood will become toxic, and they will die. To bring this about, the wounded area must be deliberately hit or squeezed to increase the bleeding until the blood runs clear. (This information is found in "Till the Blood Runs Clear", an episode in season 1 of Farscape.) Male Luxans may enter a state known as Luxan Hyper-Rage. These rages are marked by extreme violence, especially against other males, and subsequent memory loss. Luxans can learn to control hyper-rage, however, this a gradual process, taking many cycles-it might be compared to the amount of time a modern human spends acquiring an education. One could say that the primary sign of maturity among Luxans is when they learn to control hyper-rage. Due to the danger an immature Luxan in the midst of hyper-rage would pose to a spouse or child, they are forbidden to marry young. The Luxan have different ranks in battle: the "head", or the Luxan who thinks, and the Luxan who fights. They use a swordlike weapon known as a Qualta blade, which can be converted into a Qualta rifle. They also have very advanced cloaking technology. Their planet is very hot so they are comfortable at higher temperatures. They have mystic religious figures, called Oricans, who have magical powers. Luxans are related to Ilanics, although they are separate species. Luxans can reproduce with Sebaceans, as exemplified by Ka D'Argo and Lo'Laan's son, Jothee.

Draining the black blood is akin to draining the pus. Some Luxans, when provoked to anger, enter a state called hyper-rage in which they become uncontrollably violent. Hyper-Rage ends only by killing or breaking something (or someone) or, in rare instances, by dissipation over a long period of time. Luxans who experience Hyper-Rage often suffer blackouts and cannot recall their violent actions. Luxans participate in a dating/mating ritual known as the Luxan Chase. The Luxan Chase seems to involve the male courting the female. The entire process can be completed in about twelve arns. Luxan spiritual or religious leaders are known as Oricans. They are seekers of truth and are capable of some sorts of magic. This magic ability dissipates with age and vitality. It is also possible for an Orican to restore its youth and vitality by absorbing the life of a living being at the cost of its life. Orican magic abilities include (but are not limited to) telekinesis, empathy/telepathy, draining life to absorb, and healing by giving personal life-force. As a warrior culture, Luxans have a fierce code of honor which includes refusal to deceive an opponent, refusal to abandon an ally, and allowance of retribution for aggression against an ally. It is probably because of this warrior nature that they have no word in their language for 'suicide'. Luxans have been blood allies with the Ilanics for a thousand cycles; three cycles before Moya's escape from Peacekeeper custody, Luxans started providing aid to the Ilanics in their latest war with the Scorvians. Through the efforts of Peacekeeper Commandant Mele-On Grayza, the Peacekeepers and the Luxan worlds recently entered into a defense agreement to present the largest possible show of strength in peace negotiations with the Scarrans. Unbeknownst to the Luxans, Grayza, in secret talks with Scarran War Minister Ahkna, traded away the Luxan territories to the Scarrans for the disputed sectors of the Uncharted Territories, defined as everywhere beyond the Kellek Nebula. The Scarrans have long coveted the resources of the wealthy Luxan worlds, and the Peacekeepers have wanted the expansion room of the Uncharted Territories. The peace accord may be in jeopardy in light of recent events at the Scarran base on Katratzi, and the status of the Luxan worlds is unknown. Luxans do not often apologize. Pilot brought this up with Ka D'Argo noting that "I also know that Luxans are not given to apologies." D'Argo did apologize to Pilot for his actions by constructing a shilquen for him.
