The planet suffered from windstorms, fires, and earthquakes that became more and more violent, until it literally tore itself apart in an explosion almost as tremendous as the one that had created it, destroying the life that had so recently been spawned. Within an extremely short time, fully developed plant life emerged, but this seemingly tranquil planet had a highly unstable core caused by David Marcus' inclusion of protomatter in its Genesis matrix this resulted in its aging rapidly. The Genesis Device in Reliant's transporter room, moments before detonation

The ship USS Enterprise was almost destroyed by the shock wave that resulted from the explosion before Spock sacrificed himself to repair its power system and the ship went to high warp just before the Reliant exploded. The resulting cataclysmic explosion reorganized the matter that constituted the nebula and the ship itself and formed that matter into a new planet, Genesis. Although speculated by David Marcus, this possibility seemed to catch its creators off guard, and they were unprepared for the consequences when Khan Noonien Singh stole the device and detonated it aboard the USS Reliant inside the Mutara Nebula. Unfortunately, if the device was detonated where life already existed, it could prove to be a very powerful doomsday weapon, destroying all life in favor of its new matrix. The Enterprise narrowly escapes the detonation of the Genesis Device The intention of the third stage of testing was to introduce the device to a lifeless space body, such as a moon or barren planet. In the second stage, the device was deployed within a lifeless underground cavern deep inside the Regula planetoid. Carol Marcus and her team in three stages, the first of which involved experiments conducted in a laboratory on the space station. A preprogrammed matrix then reassembled these subatomic particles into the desired configuration, creating an atmosphere and environment habitable for Humans within a matter of hours, regardless of the test area's original composition.Ī computer simulation of the Genesis effectĭevelopment and testing of the Genesis Device took place during a year-long period on a space station orbiting Regula, a class D planetoid. Upon impact, the device caused a massive explosion, reducing the entire area to the subatomic level. This was accomplished by launching the Genesis Device, a torpedo-shaped projectile, into a lifeless planet. The device, which was launched in the form of a torpedo, initiated a process of rapid terraforming, by which previously uninhabitable planets could be turned into class M worlds ready for colonization.
