Genesis was a planet created from the gaseous matter of the Mutara Nebula as a result of the detonation of the Genesis device in 2285. Because of David Marcus' use of unstable protomatter in the device, the planet degraded into an unlivable rock later that year.

- The Genesis Planet immediately became a galactic controversy, and Starfleet declared it off limits until the Federation Council could decide what to do. In the meantime, the USS Grissom was dispatched with a scientific team that included the planet's co-creator, Dr. David Marcus, to carry out a thorough investigation. While exploring the planet with Saavik, Marcus admitted that he'd used protomatter to complete the Genesis matrix. The unstable and dangerous properties of the protomatter were a contributing factor in the planet's rapid aging and instability.

| - Genesis was a planet created from the gaseous matter of the Mutara Nebula as a result of the detonation of the Genesis device in 2285. Because of David Marcus' use of unstable protomatter in the device, the planet degraded into an unlivable rock later that year. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) After Captain Spock's death aboard the USS Enterprise, his photon tube coffin soft-landed on the planet where the Genesis effect resurrected his body, though he aged rapidly in synchrony with the planet's unstable shifts. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) During its study of the planet, the USS Grissom was destroyed by a Klingon bird-of-prey commanded by Kruge. The only survivors were Saavik and David Marcus, who had been on the planet, though Marcus was later killed at Kruge's order. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; Star Trek: Grissom)
- The Genesis Planet immediately became a galactic controversy, and Starfleet declared it off limits until the Federation Council could decide what to do. In the meantime, the USS Grissom was dispatched with a scientific team that included the planet's co-creator, Dr. David Marcus, to carry out a thorough investigation. While exploring the planet with Saavik, Marcus admitted that he'd used protomatter to complete the Genesis matrix. The unstable and dangerous properties of the protomatter were a contributing factor in the planet's rapid aging and instability. A battle occurred in orbit during the final degradation of the planet in which both the USS Grissom and the USS Enterprise were destroyed and a Klingon Bird-of-Prey was commandeered by Admiral Kirk and his remaining crew. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) Three months later, in an angry tirade directed at the Federation Council and the Federation President, the Klingon Ambassador Kamarag alleged that this planet would have housed a secret base from which Kirk would have launched a genocidal campaign using the Genesis Device against the Klingons. His allegations were debunked by Sarek, who pointed out that Genesis was named for creation of life and that the Klingons shed the first blood in trying to possess its secrets.
