In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Genesis Device was an experimental terraforming device. It was introduced in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and we discovered that unlike existing terraforming methods, it could terraform an entire planet in hours. At the end of the film, we see the device detonating and forming a new, habitable world from scratch, out of the gas and dust of the Mutara Nebula.

In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Mutara Nebula was a nebula surprisingly close (reachable in minutes under sublight speed) to the station Regula I (thus within the star system in which Regula 1 and the associated Regulus planetoid were located). ...
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock featured this world. We discover that one of the device's creators, Dr. David Marcus, son of Captain James T. Kirk, true to his father's legendary tendency to "think out of the box" when at a loss, had secretly utilized the dangerous and unstable substance "protomatter" in order to obtain functionality for the Genesis prototype. Also, the Genesis Device was intended to be used on a pre-existing planetary body. It was never intended to be used in a nebula, and never intended to be required to build an entire star system from scratch.

Both factors rendered the Genesis Planet unstable and short-lived, and so the experiment became a failure; however due to its destructive power beyond any known weapon, the device afterward became coveted for military purposes. It's debatable what effect the torpedo would have had if it was used as intended. The Genesis Device has not been seen since, and it is generally assumed its plans were destroyed or were being kept under lock and key, or else banned by treaty.
The Genesis Project was developed by a team of Federation scientists, led by Dr. Carol Marcus and her son Dr. David Marcus, working in an orbital laboratory in orbit around the Class D planetoid Regula.
The Genesis Project was first proposed to the Federation in the early 2280's.
It is suggested in "GenesisWave" that Starfleet intelligence actively sabotaged the efforts of the Romulans and Cardassians to replicate the technology, and that the disastrous explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis was actually due to the catastrophic failure of an experimental Genesis matrix.
After years of using outside record producers, Genesis produced Abacab solely by themselves, while limiting further still the amount of solo compositions in favor of the group-written pieces.
Due to its daring shift in style, Abacab is generally considered one of Genesis' most important releases, and was a springboard for future hit albums Genesis and Invisible Touch.
Highly influenced by punk and new-wave, many Genesis fans were shocked by an album that was often perceived as minimalist, bare, and very much a musical companion to the abstract artwork on its cover.
