|Darwin Genetic Research Station| |Affiliation:||United
Federation of Planets| 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. 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:
