The Arkanian-Offshoot Program is a series of genetic experimentation and cloning operations designed to reintroduce the long-extinct Arkaninan species back into the galaxy. It is the brainchild of Sith'Ari Con Semper, who currently oversees the program on behalf of House Arkoh.

Phase I
Phase one of the Program consisted of using Semper's collection of Arkanian DNA to genetically modify already existing mature, humanoid specimens. All participants were volunteers, ranging from the destitute to the adventurous. House Arkoh has done much to dispel the rumor that becoming an Arkanian-offshoot is the single way to get ahead in the Hassaria system, but the persisting notion was a significant factor in recruiting. The procedure itself was carried out in Semper's medical facilities underneath the Arkoh Palace, using a technique developed exclusively for this operation by Semper and Paul Luz. The technique is derived from the metamorphosis virus, and uses a synthetic virus implanted with the constructed Arkanian genetic material. This synthetic virus (known as AV0790) attacks the cells of the patients and injects an enzyme with breaks down the cells original nucleus and nearly simultaneously injects its own new nucleus into the cell. The inoculated cells then replicate by normal cell mitosis until the tissues they form begin to resemble Arkanian tissue. Varying the concentration of the AV0790 serum given to the patients affects the speed of the transformation. Early trials supported the hypothesis that a slower procedure carries a higher risk of failure, but lowers the risk of pain and other medical complications. Likewise, a higher dosage results in a quicker and more reliable transformation, but also carries with it higher risks of complications and pain.
The techniques developed in Phase I of the Program also has other surprising medical applications. One of the developers, Zuguruk'Ari Paul Luz was suffering from a difficult strain of the [Metamorphosis Plague]] in Year 17, and was admitted to the medical facilities beneath the Arkoh Palace. Doctors there determined that because the strain that had infected Luz was slower moving, both tissues (his own Baragwin tissue and the newly-forming Mirialan tissue) were combating the other with immune and autoimmune responses. Because neither the virus nor his body could get an edge, his systems were rapidly dissolving as his entire body was under attack. In a rash move, Con Semper instructed the doctors to inject Luz with a potent and fast-acting strain of AV0790, AV0790B.6, which was able to overwhelm the two opposing immune systems and restabalized him. The result was such that when Luz recovered he was an off-shoot, 3/4 Mirialan, and 1/4 Arkanian, and a blood relation of Con Semper. It is thought that with only minor adjustment this procedure could be used to help combat the Metamorphois Virus.
