Description

Arkanians were a near-human species from the planet Arkania with distinctive features, including pale skin, white hair, and white eyes. They excelled in genetic engineering, creating genetic offshoots considered inferior or enslaved. Arkanians had infrared vision, useful on their cold homeworld but requiring eye protection in certain environments. The society had a rigid caste system, prioritizing pure blood and intelligence, and was characterized by arrogance and a belief in genetic superiority. Many Arkanians were skilled scientists, using bioengineering for profit, including the creation of enslaved Arkanian Offshoots. The society valued scholarly pursuits but faced moral conflicts over the use of their advancements for harmful purposes.
