The Darwin Genetic Research Station (or Darwin Station) was a Federation science facility located on planet Gagarin IV and headed by Doctor Sara Kingsley. In the late 2350s and 2360s, a research project at the Darwin Station developed Human children who, among other unique qualities, had an aggressive immune system, capable of attacking disease organisms before they entered a Human body. The children's antibodies were also capable of attacking Human beings, a fact not discovered until 2365, when the entire crew of the USS Lantree was killed after exposure to the children.

abstract
  • The Darwin Genetic Research Station, also known as the Darwin Research Station and as the Darwin Station, was a science facility operated by the United Federation of Planets and was established at some point in the mid-24th century. It was located on the planet Gagarin IV and was headed by Doctor Sara Kingsley. (TNG episode: "Unnatural Selection") Despite the laws against genetic engineering in the Federation, the Darwin Research Station was established in order to explore this field of study. However, those opposing it felt that it was only a test case that would eventually spiral out of control and produce dangerous Augments as a result. (TLE novel: The Buried Age) Ultimately, the project continued in the late 2350s and 2360s where the goal was to produce Human children with a number of unique qualities such as an aggressive immune system designed to attack any intruding disease organisms before they entered the body. In addition, they developed other unique abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis along with an accelerated growth rate and maturity. (TNG episode: "Unnatural Selection") In 2360, Admiral Gregory Quinn commenting that the Darwin Research Station was a dangerous test case that would eventually create deadly Augments if allowed to continue. (TLE novel: The Buried Age) This was somewhat proven when the immune system of the test subjects began creating antibodies that were attacking Human beings in 2365. As a result, the entire crew of the USS Lantree were killed after exposure to the children. The staff of the science facility were also afflicted by this condition where they suffered from a condition similar to hyperaccelerated aging. It was, however, discovered that a transporter based technique was capable of restoring the station personnel to normal. Following this incident, the children were forced to live in quarantine until the researchers were able to find a means to allow individuals to be safe around the test subjects.

The scientific staff of the Darwin Station were also afflicted by the antibodies and suffered symptoms resembling hyperaccelerated aging, but a transporter-based technique was successful in restoring all station personnel to normal. After these events, the children were forced to live in quarantine until such time as the researchers would be able to make them safe to be around. In addition to their advanced immune systems, the children also possessed telepathy, telekinesis, and accelerated growth and maturity. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection" )
  • thumb|left|Gagarin IV, Darwin Genetic Research StationDarwin Genetic Research Station (Darwin Station) to federacyjna stacja naukowa, kierowana przez doktor Sarę Kingsley, zajmująca się badaniami genetycznymi. Zlokalizowana jest na planecie Gagarin IV. Na przełomie lat 50 i 60-tych XXIV wieku, naukowcy z tego laboratorium pracowali nad genetycznym rozwojem ludzkiego systemu immunologicznego. Efektem ich pracy były ludzkie dzieci, których organizmy zmodyfikowano genetycznie tworząc w ich organizmach tzw. agresywny system immunologiczny. Zdolny on był do atakowania wszelkich organizmów żywych, które mogły narazić organizm na potencjalne zarażenie się jakąś chorobą. thumb|right|Zmodyfikowane genetycznie dzieci z Darwin StationAgresywny system immunologiczny organizmu rozpoczynał, w potencjalnie groźnym dla człowieka organizmie, gwałtowny proces starzenia, który w krótkim czasie doprowadzał do jego śmierci, a przez to do wyeliminowania zagrożenia. Okazało się jednak, że tak zmodyfikowany system immunologiczny atakuje również ludzi, którzy są go pozbawieni. Niestety odkryto to zbyt późno. Stację odwiedził U.S.S. "Lantree", którego 26 osobowa załoga, mająca kontakt ze zmodyfikowanymi genetycznie dziećmi, wymarła w ciągu kilku następnych dni. Również personel Darwin Station został zarażony, podobnie jak przysłana z pomocą doktor Katherine Pulaski z U.S.S. "Enterprise-D". Udało się jednak odkryć, że przy użyciu DNA osoby, która miała kontakt z dziećmi, sprzed zetknięcia się z nimi, możliwe jest odwrócenie procesu dzięki technologii transportera. To uratowało doktor Pulaski i naukowców z laboratorium.
