Provenance

Where it came from

The Genesis Device card, numbered 200 in the Star Trek CCG Premiere set released in 1994, draws its subject matter from the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the film, the device represents a revolutionary, if controversial, terraforming technology designed to reorganize matter at the subatomic level to create habitable worlds from barren celestial bodies.

The card features imagery and mechanics intended to reflect the device's role as a potent, world-altering tool within the game's strategic environment. Designed by Decipher, the card was part of the initial expansion of the collectible card game that sought to capture the depth of the Star Trek universe, balancing technical lore with competitive gameplay requirements.
