What is your personal head canon?

Section 31 shot a Genesis torpedo at the Xindi homeworld and completely wiped them out. That's why nobod even knows any Xindi in the 23rd century and later.

The Denobulans all comitted harakiri beforte the 23rd century.

The reason there is a Klingon homeworld in the 24th century, after the Praxis incident and its ambiental consequences, is the Feds shot another Genesis Torpedo at Kronos and made a new planet for the Klings. It's considered dishorourable to talk about that.

The Talosians all died of old age. Disabled Pike and crippled Vina are living alone in Talos 4. They still love each other, but they dont talk much.

Harry Mudd escaped the android planet. The androids, without other purpose, built spaceships and went off in search of living beings to interact with. They succeded. This eventually caused them to become the Borg. This is also why the Borg Queen looks like Stella.

There is a third transporter triplicate around. He choose to call himself William Thomas.

Sela was cleared off all acusations and now is the Supreme Commander of all Romulan Armed Forces. She had Spock arrested and executed. She has his head mounted on a plaque in her office lobby.

The Klingon Neutral zone is an ovoid volume of space that a starship can cross in a short time. It has nothing in common with the Romulan NZ

The rat on Spacelab Regula One is a robot rat.

Had Gillian Taylor stayed in the 20th century, she would have prevented WWIII (like Edith Keeler did in alternate 1940)

Shakespeare was, indeed, a Klingon

I don't mind some of those especially the first one. But there were Xindi in Prodigy weren't there, and in Disco so that can't be right.
 
I wonder if any future installment of Trek will revisit the Genesis device and its many implications. That the Federation even thought on some level this was a good idea, mind you they had city sized portal guns so there is that.

I doubt it.

Genesis depended on protomatter to work, and protomatter is dangerous and unstable, so that pretty much puts the kibosh on any future use of the technology.

I mean, could they make it work again in any reliable way? David had utilized protomatter, it was unstable and known for its instability, as well as not shown to work perfectly as stated, i.e. making planets. It's still a great weapon, if you're looking at ripping planets apart over time.

Lower Decks did something with it at the end of last season and it did a pretty good job of showing why *not* to use it (or knockoffs of it).

Section 31 probably has one or two hidden away. I bet anything on that
 
Would you really need the thing to work correctly in order for it to be useful?

Even in its flawed Wrath of Khan state, it can be used as a weapon of mass destruction.

You can destroy an entire planet with one torpedo. Imagine one of them being smuggled onto a world aboard a cargo vessel. It detonates and reconfigures everything on the surface to its "new matrix." You could basically take out an entire population in one strike. Who cares if the planet explodes later if the enemy no longer exists.

I know photon torpedoes are supposed to be capable of glassing a planet, but I'm guessing it's going to take a sustained strike over a period of time to do it.
 
Yes, but can they build it reliably?

They lost members of the research team due to Khan and then David dying. So, can they build it to actually function? Never underestimate the power of lost knowledge and its application.

Carol still lived and was integral to Project Genesis as well, so that--plus the research materials would be available.

To the best of our limited presentation, David inserted protomatter in to it. So, what could be made to work from the notes might not include protomatter.
 
There's a pretty glaring plot hole in Search For Spock that's kinda connected to this issue, which is that if Spock's body was revived by the effects of the Genesis Device, and he was connected to the rapid aging of the planet that was caused by the protomatter, whatever technobabble reason that made it unstable stabilized once Spock's body was away from the planet.

So I would think part of the answer to stabilizing the whole thing might have been found in analyzing Spock after his resurrection.

Perhaps the protomatter just needs a pituitary gland.
