Today, the ex’hau still exist in a state of intense fragmentation, each power pursuing development and expansion. Trade with the SIC sees certain new technologies and items enter into their lives. Notable is the Coalition’s interest in supporting each power equally, so as to prevent a centralizing power from unifying the people. Certain ex’hau who are either seeking fortune, work, or an escape from their past lives tend to end up in SIC space. Some of them shun the fragmented nature of their people, whereas others hold true to their loyalties. Recent experimental treatments meant for low-g trauma mean that the ex’hau, through intense therapy and training, are capable of existing and functioning in standard-g environments (albeit commonly with consistent pain). As a result, mothpeople can now occasionally be seen in traditional SIC environments, though they are still relatively rare. | Today, the ex’hau still exist in a state of intense fragmentation, each power pursuing development and expansion.

Moth names can often range from puns as a result of bemusement from translation into '''Galactic Common''' to fuel an ex'hai's often eccentric form of humor. They can include ideas and concepts of certain biological functions, often with an ending of "ium" or " | Moth names can often range from puns as a result of bemusement from translation into '''Galactic Common''' to fuel an ex'hai's often eccentric form of humor. They can include ideas and concepts of certain biological functions, often with an ending of "ium", "ius", or "ria", based on the naming schemes of their language, such as "Stimulium" as a first name. Surnames tend to retain the language of the ex'hau, but the spelling done in the Latin alphabet. Potential examples include Scentium Gahesteanius, Fastria Wellinsushen, or Coldius Rentesdillean. | ||

The drive of each ex'hau regarding survival and individualistic desires is notable. They tend more rarely toward offensive action, unless in a community. Even then, an ex'hai will not often extend risk or bravery on its own part. It is only in larger numbers when they feel secure that they will attack, often wildly and aggressively. The variety of cultures is widespread, but a fair number of mothpeople can prove quite violent if provoked. Those who exist in ethereal-majority communities tend to shun and eschew these tendencies, however. Overall, with their low morale and selfish tendencies, moths are more likely to defend only if necessary, opting to flee from undesirable fights. | The drive of each ex'hau regarding survival and individualistic desires is notable.
