Genome colony

Genome colony was a human settlement established on the planet Moab IV in 2168.

The original colonists sought to create the perfect society where no one was afflicted with disease or pain and thus resorted to genetic engineering to achieve their ends. Future generations living in the colony were genetically engineered to fulfill specific roles within their society.

Physically, the colony and its main biosphere were closed and sealed off from the planet's harsh, uninhabitable conditions. Genome colony would remain isolated from other humans and Earth colonies until 2368 when it was contacted by the USS Enterprise and threatened with the approach of a stellar core fragment from a neutron star.
