Project Telomere was commenced by EarthGov at least three years before the Necromorph outbreak on Titan Station. Isaac Clarke and Nolan Stross were its primary subjects, though there were others. Station governor Hans Tiedemann was its overseer, with scientists such as Kinner Phelps and Foster Edgars undertaking much of the research. Security was provided by EarthGov troops headed by Armand Fattouh.
