The Eugenics Wars are a backstory event in the Star Trek fictional universe. First mentioned in the TOS episode "Space Seed", in which it was stated that the Eugenics War was a global conflict that occurred during the mid to late 1990s. The progeny of a human genetic engineering project established themselves as supermen and attempted world domination. The most notable of them, Khan Noonien Singh, conquered a quarter of the planet, mostly Asia. They ended up fighting amongst themselves and were eventually overthrown due to their disunity. Khan, however, escaped into space with a group of his followers only to be encountered by the USS Enterprise after spending centuries in suspended animation. Much like the Butlerian Jihad in the Dune universe, the Eugenics Wars are the primary reason for many restrictions and prohibitions on genetic manipulation within the Star Trek universe.

What is known

At the time "Space Seed" was written, the Eugenics Wars were inferred to be large-scale global conflicts. However, after the very different reality of the actual 1990s, the Eugenics Wars have been retconned in some of the non-canonical Star Trek novels that describe them as much more covert conflicts, secret wars that occurred mostly in the shadows of the major conflicts and events of that decade, with Gary Seven and his assistant being Khan's principal opponents. In the two-part Star Trek: Voyager episode "Future's End", the crew of USS Voyager were transported to Earth in 1996 Los Angeles; there seems to be no indication that the Eugenics Wars had even taken place. However, the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Borderland" reaffirmed in the filmed canon that 30 million people indeed perished in the conflict. Retroactive continuity – commonly contracted to the blend retcon – is the adding of new information to historical material, or deliberately changing previously established facts in a work of serial fiction. ...

In "Space Seed," Mr. Spock refers to the Eugenics Wars being Earth's third world war. This statement has been quietly ignored, however, and in the Star Trek universe, World War III is said to have taken place in the mid 21st century, ending in 2053. It should be noted that Spock stated the Eugenics Wars as "the era of your last so-called world war." This could be interpreted that some optimistic contemporaries of the conflict thought it would be the last global war. Spock, commonly called Mr. ...

Further, Spock's dialogue in the episode "Bread and Circuses" establishes a figure of "37 million killed" during Earth's "World War III." Clearly, however, we now know that this figure refers not to the death toll of the 2053 nuclear holocaust, but rather that of the Eugenics Wars; now differentiated from the mid-21st Century conflict by the reconciliation with Enterprise's "Borderland" dialogue. The use of a plural to describe "Eugenics Wars" has never been officially explained either, suggesting that there was likely more than one conflict within a short period of time (similar to the real world enduring two Gulf Wars in a little over a decade).

Contrary to rumor, Colonel Green was not involved in the Eugenics Wars. In the original series, Green is only said to have "led a genocidal war in the 21st century" (the Eugenics Wars had already been over by then). Subsequent episodes of Enterprise made it clear that Green's heyday was in the dark times after World War III, when Green ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of radiation-scarred victims in an attempt to keep the human race "pure." Also, these Enterprise episodes (specifically "In a Mirror, Darkly") reveal that the 37 million deaths which Spock mentioned, are in fact attributed directly to Green himself: he was a leader of a radical faction of environmental terrorists whose genocidal operations resulted in the loss of 37 million lives.

Captain Jonathan Archer's great-grandfather was in North Africa during the Eugenics Wars. His battalion was evacuating civilians from a war zone when they came under attack. There was a school full of children directly between them and the enemy. If his men had returned fire, they might have hit it.

An episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ("Dr. Bashir, I Presume") suggested that the Eugenics Wars occurred not in the 1990s, but in the late 22nd Century.

Enterprise Trilogy

A three-episode story arc of Star Trek: Enterprise, broadcast during October and November 2004, examines some of the aftermath of the Eugenics Wars in the years before "Space Seed." At least one media report released prior to the broadcast of the arc's first episode, "Borderland", erroneously stated that the series was going to retcon the Eugenics Wars into happening in the 22nd Century, but this turned out to be a false report, and the conflict or at least the engineering of the Augments was reconfirmed as taking place in the late 20th century.

In 2001 the first of two books by Greg Cox was released that detailed that events of the Eugenics Wars. In the book, the Eugenics Wars were shadowy conflicts fought behind the scenes of current events, against elusive and conspiratorial enemies whose genetically engineered origins remained largely unknown to the general public.

Chrysalis

According to the book, genetic engineering in the 1960s led to the Chrysalis Project, an ambitious eugenics program conducted by a group of scientists trying to create a new, artificially improved breed of men and women: smarter, faster, stronger than ordinary human beings, a super-race to take command of the entire planet.

Designed and facilitated by a group of world-renowned geneticists and biochemists, the top-secret Chrysalis Project involved creating human embryos genetically superior to those created through the random genetic shuffling of ordinary reproduction using techniques that appeared to be far beyond what humans were capable of at the time. == A geneticist is a scientist who studies genes, or a physician who diagnoses, treats, and counsels patients with genetic disorders or syndromes. ...

Like so many others of their generation, the members of Chrysalis Project nurtured dreams of making the world a better place. They believed, however, that a better world was impossible without better people to live in it. Democracy, socialism, psychiatry, religion... all these avenues to Utopia inevitably run into the inherent limitations of human nature, at least as we presently know it. Only by improving the human species itself, through controlled genetic manipulation, can we ever hope to overcome the ills that have perpetually plagued the peoples of the world: poverty, war, disease, and so on.

The Chrysalis Project endeavored to give their genetically enhanced creations full rein of the planet. To do so, the engineers of this project intended to release a bacterium.

Genetic Engineering

The process begins by inducing "superovulation" in female volunteers (which included all of the female scientists). The large and diverse assortment of eggs yielded by this procedure had then been inseminated artificially and allowed to incubate at a temperature of precisely 37 degrees Celsius, i.e., body temperature. Following fertilization, the eggs had been carefully examined for a wide variety of genetic defects or abnormalities, with all unsuitable eggs immediately terminated and disposed of. It was not enough to simply produce outstanding examples of conventional humanity; the Chrysalis Project aspired to create a new breed of man and woman, markedly superior to any who had existed before. To do so required adding new information and instructions to the genetic blueprint encoded in each egg's DNA. A human ovum An ovum (from Latin, loosely, egg or egg cell) is a female sex cell or gamete. ... A degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who first proposed a similar system in 1742. ... The general structure of a section of DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid —usually in the form of a double helix— that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life, and most viruses. ...

The brilliant scientists at Chrysalis had learned how to clone multiple copies of each surviving egg, thus increasing the odds of successful hybridization later on. Conventional science maintained that a fertilized egg could only be cloned twice before expiring, yet Dr. Sarina Kaur, the director of Chrysalis, had developed a technique for producing dozens of identical copies of a single egg. That was the key; invariably, applied genetics involved a certain degree of trial and error, heredity being fundamentally a matter of probabilities. But by generating so many ideal eggs to work with, the chances of achieving the desired genetic result increased dramatically, especially when the scientists of the project knew exactly what modifications they wanted to make to the standard human genome. Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of an original. ...

Fragments of specialized DNA, built from scratch from the appropriate nucleotides, then multiplied by polymerase chain reactions, were spliced into bacterial plasmids, which acted as vectors to transmit the recombinant genes to the nucleus of the egg itself. Not every plasmid-borne gene successfully infiltrated the egg's DNA, let alone at precisely the right spot in the sequence of codons, but that's what all those multiple copies were for. Enough hybridized eggs made it through the secondary screening process to provide a suitable number of samples for the next round of genetic augmentation. A nucleotide is a chemical compound that consists of a heterocyclic base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. ...

In all, the process involved the introduction of seven distinct improvements to the basic human genotype. One such modification accelerated the formation of critical neural pathways, thus increasing intelligence. Another slight resequencing of the base pairs of a specific human gene had been found to substantially improve the efficiency of the lungs and respiratory system, while the addition of a single new gene, adapted from one located in the DNA of the African gorilla, caused an increase in muscular density and resilience.

The Augments

The genetically engineered "Augments" of the Chrysalis Project were mentally and physically superior to ordinary men and women. They were five times stronger than the average person, their lung efficiency was 50 percent better than normal, their heart valve action had twice the power of an average human, and their intelligence was double that of normal humans.

The problem was that, as one Chrysalis scientist wrote before he was murdered by an Augment, "Superior ability creates superior ambition." The so called supermen felt that their superior physical and intellectual abilities gave them the right to rule over the rest of humanity. To that end, they conspired throughout the 1980s to seize power through the use of behind-the-scenes manipulation, brute force and "puppet leaders" who answered only to them.

Khan Noonien Singh

Of all the genetically enhanced manipulators who rose to power during this period, none were as ambitious or as ruthless as the man known as Khan Noonien Singh. The son of Dr. Kaur, Khan Singh's presence was felt throughout the world, perhaps most discreetly. He fought against Soviet soldiers outside Lenin's tomb, where he stopped a coup, and maintained the safety of President Mikhail Gorbachev while he was attending the summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. He was rumored to be all over the Asian and Indian subcontinent, inciting the 1987 pro-democracy uprising in South Korea, fighting alongside the Afghan rebels in their guerilla war against the Soviet Union, personally arranging the 1988 plane crash that killed General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, leader of the Pakistan's military government, returning democracy to India's nearest neighbor and rival.

Aided and abetted by power-hungry individuals in various governments, business organizations, and independent agencies who allowed themselves to fall under his domination, Khan attempted to gain control of the entire planet.

He ruled his dominion from what he called the Great Khanate in the remote parts of India. His fellow "supermen" took over key positions of power in South America, Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, remote parts of the South Pacific and in sections of North Africa. Khan's Great Khanate was centered in Chandigarh, India and had a secondary command center on Muroroa Atoll, "Chrysalis Island", of the Tuamoto islands in the French Polynesia. On June 14, 1992 from Muroroa Atoll, a former French nuclear testing area (Centre d'Experimentation du Pacifique), Khan launched the Morning Star satellite into orbit, giving him the ability to damage the Earth's ozone layer. On July 10, 1992 Singh held an assembly with delegates from nations in Southern Asia and the Middle East, where he demonstrated Morning Star's abilities and issued an ultimatum, "if I fall, the world falls with me". The satellite would later cause an increase in the hole in the ozone layer that was publicly blamed on the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

On June 14, 1993 Khan held a summit with 6 of his most powerful Chrysalis siblings, where he attempted to unify them to create a new world order with him as the prevailing voice. The summit was a failure as Khan's dream of unity collapsed when the Augments' enhanced ambition caused them to turn on one another, spawning the Eugenics Wars.

During this time, in their eagerness to assert their self-proclaimed destinies as rulers of the Earth, the Augments sparked civil wars and unrest all over the globe, in Eastern Europe, Liberia, Somalia, Peru, Haiti, Rwanda and elsewhere. Though the public-at-large was aware of the majority of such events - most never knew that the events were in fact all related to one another. Indeed, the public was kept entirely ignorant of many of the related "battles" of the Eugenics Wars and even Khan himself was not known to the majority of the world.

On March 17 of 1995 Khan acquired over 200 bio-warheads from the former Soviet Union.

With his weakened arsenal and with the major superpowers of the world now aware of Khan's plans of genocide, air strikes from American B-52 bombers and a ground assault from the Russian Spetsnaz eliminated Khan's henchmen and palace. On January 10, 1996 U.S. forces bombed Khan's "terrorist base" in Chandigarh as well as several other Augment bases in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan. Facing certain defeat at the hands of combined forces from multiple nations, the very next day Khan and 83 of his Augment followers secretly escaped Earth aboard a stolen prototype vessel of the DY-100 sleeper ship christened the "S.S.
