Ah, because a faction I had thought of to explain the character I had in mind ran on that. It starts with a black market-esque science facility conducting morally questionable genetic expariments with bought/stolen/bastardized equipment and techniques and ends with a flotilla of genetic monstrosities pirating their way aimlessly through space. Kinda like reavers from Firefly, only grotesque and with some direction that I could explain.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "stable". I can explain it more in a PM, but I can take 'no' for an answer.
