>>I think you missed some key plot points in the Star Trek lore > Are you talking about the episodes where genetic engineering was illegal? > Or the episodes where they completely forgot about that? Can't you guess ? The ones that are absolutely not key plot points in the general Star Trek lore, of course. Congrats on spoiling it for the sake of being a smartypants. Consistency problems in Star Trek, oh noes.. edit: well, well, well: The station was mentioned in passing in The Lost Era novel The Buried Age, where Picard called it an exception to the rule (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume") that should have never been allowed. Quite frankly, I chalk this up to too much Roddenberry in early TNG seasons and his love for psychic mutants (and giant talking heads with god like powers).
