Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, episode 6 reveals that Genesis Device technology has been stolen, which helps explain the Genesis Device guarded in Star Trek: Picard season 3's Daystrom Station. Lower Decks season 4, episode 6, "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place," is a gloriously Ferengi-centric affair centering on Star Trek's devoted capitalist empire. As Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Grand Nagus Ron (Max Grodenchik) and his wife, First Clerk Leeta (Chase Masterson) negotiate Ferenginar's entry into the United Federation of Planets, the Lower Deckers get into trouble on the Ferengi home world.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan introduced the Genesis Device, one of the most ingenious and prevalent concepts from the Star Trek movies. Created by Dr. Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch) and David Marcus (Merritt Butrick), her son with Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Project Genesis was a top-secret Federation experiment intended to terraform dead or inhospitable worlds into Class M planets suitable for human life. The Genesis Device was stolen by Khan Noonien-Singh (Ricardo Montalban) and turned into a weapon of mass destruction. However, Genesis was flawed because David secretly used protomatter in its matrix, resulting in the planet created by the Genesis Device becoming unstable and self-destructing.
