Project Khan

Project Khan was the code name of a late 20th century project involving the creation of augmented Humans. One of the scientists who worked on the project was Adam Soong. This project resulted in the creation of individuals much like Khan Noonien Singh and other genetically-enhanced people, which was one of the causes of the 1990s Eugenics Wars.
The project began on January 2, 1992, which would have been around the time the Eugenics Wars began, and it ended on June 7, 1996, which was around the end of the wars.
In 2024, after Kore Soong hacked into her father's computer systems and deleted almost all his work, one of the few pieces of work left was a confidential funding report for Project Khan from 1996. As a result, Soong appeared to take a renewed interest in the Project. ()
==Background information==
According to the show runners, Spock was wrong and that the Eugenics Wars actually happened much later during the 21st century. Terry Matalas: "We discussed endlessly. We came to the conclusion that in WW3 there were several EMP bursts that kicked everyone back decades. Records of that 75 year period, the 90s on were sketchy. Maybe Spock was wrong? No easy way to do it if you want the past to look and feel like today." In response to Khan's own references to the 1996 date, that they simply have be ignored to make the series more relatable to the present; " Maybe because in 1967 they didn't anticipate the show still going for another 6 decades." Aaron J. Waltke added: "There's also the ripples of the Temporal Cold War shifting the Prime Timeline in Enterprise — at least until the Temporal Accords put an end to that wibbly wobbliness."
