About arkanian names

Expect terse single syllables here, sounds like "Tho", "Za", and "Ny" that land with laboratory coldness rather than warmth. Combine two or three into a full designation for genetic scientists and engineered offshoots inspired by Star Wars' aloof Arkanian culture. A one-syllable name alone also works for a character who considers introductions a waste of breath.
