Seems to me this page is getting confused. The description is about a particular \'\'style\'\' of alien names -- harsh consonants, especially velars, for males and proud warrior races; soft consonants, especially liquids, for females and airy-fairy bunny races.

Krotera is closer to a straight example, but there, the final -a is more creative than the stereotype allows for.
