Star Trek: Discovery’s Progenitor Technology Powers & Dangers Explained
The Progenitors' treasure can do more than create life
What the Progenitors ' gem actually looks like and where it is hidden are yet to be distinguish , but Commander Paul Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ) give a breakdown of what the ancient technology can do inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , sequence 3 , " Jinaal . “The implications of the Progenitors ' technology are vast . As Stamets explained to Lt . Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman ) and Commander Rayner ( Callum Keith Rennie ):
The engineering … It could have unbelievable applications . One could habituate it to design new lifeforms , quicken organic evolution , modify ecosystems . And if it can make life sentence , then , in theory , it might even be potential to reanimate dead organisms … It could make even the spore drive find inconsequential by comparison .
The progenitor could n’t just sow the oceans of planets to produce humanoids in their image , but they could also redesign intact worlds . It ’s remarkable , then , that the ancient humanoid died out because theProgenitors were essentially like gods . Perhaps they war upon and used their own technology on themselves , annihilating their coinage . In turn , this would explain why they left behind the message get a line inStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s " The Chase"and access to their technology , so that they could live on through the many species they created .
Why Star Trek: Discovery’s Progenitor Tech Is More Dangerous Than Wrath Of Khan’s Genesis Device
It ’s much more than Genesis .
The Progenitors ' applied science sound very like to the Genesis equipment inStar Trek II : The Wrath of Khanin its implications . Star Trek II ’s Genesis Devicecould bring a all in humans to life , creating entire ecosystems and flora . The energies of the Genesis Planet also resurrected Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) , accelerating his rebirth to maturity . Genesis ' risk was that its intercellular substance would interchange existing life with its own , which made it a potential arm of genocide .
The Genesis gadget was seen again inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , and a black market Ferengi Genesis gadget was stolen and detonated inStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 4 .
However , the Progenitors ' applied science sounds more precise and more diverse than the Genesis equipment . Genesis was think to bring dead planets back to life with its set matrix but not needfully make humanoid or other species . Project Genesis was primarilydesigned to create Class M planets for humanoid dwelling house . In contrast , it sounds like the Progenitors could produce - and destroy - anything they hope with their technology , which is why it ca n’t fall into the wrong hands inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 .
