Genetic engineering also called genetic modification was the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. Genetic engineering was usually done to alter a lifeform, to make it better, healthier, or more efficent. Kyrisa, a Nightsister, genetically engineered a wampa named Unkajo to be much larger than average. Another famous example of genetic engineering, was done in the creation of the Clone troopers whose genetic modfication made them more obedient and less-individualistic. The Ragithian Humans of Ragith III were also genetically engineered to be much taller and stronger than baseline humans. Companies and industries such as GeneSculpt, TheraGene and the Republic Livestock and Agriculture Administration specialised in genetic engineering.
