Geneticist/Legends

A Geneticist was a being that studied and manipulated DNA. Typically they worked in laboratories and cloning facilities, in the case of cloners, Geneticist's where used to modify the DNA of the original host to something more specified. The effects of this genetic manipulation could range anywhere from increased muscle mass and cognitive thought, to hyper-accelerated nervous system's and drastic increases in a beings natural abilities. If manipulated correctly, a Geneticist could even add completely new attributes to a second generation host, such as claws or fangs, multi spectrum vision, and preternatural strength, speed, and cognitive thought. Some of the most infamous examples of genetic manipulation at its finest, is that of the Cloners of Kamino. Contracted to create clone armies, Kaminoan cloners whole lives where centered around genetic perfection. One of its members Hali Ke, would go on to tell Obi-Wan Kenobi that cloning was "the true art of genetic selection and manipulation". Another Kaminoan, perhaps even more famous than Hali Ke, was Ko Sai. Ko Sai was directly responsible for overseeing all biological matters having to do with the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic, it was also her responsibility to ensure that all products where of the highest quality, and it was she that did a large amount of the initial research into the human genome, dealing with attributes and the aging process. Another example if the pinnacle of Genetic engineering where the Khommites. The Khommites where a Near-Human species hailing from the planet Khomm. Circa 1,000 BBY The Khommite people achieved a level of cloning technology far surpassing that of the rest of the galaxy. Believing that their society had achieved perfection, people of Khomm begin the cloning of "perfect" individuals, allowing their society to remain unchanged for the next millennium. Viewing Force sensitivity as an undesirable fluke, the Khommites endeavored to remove the trait from their species. A testimony to there advanced Geneticists and technology.
