Project Salvation

Project Salvation was a classified Starfleet research project established in 2264 by Director Allen Walker. Project Salvation grew in influence over the years, becoming a powerful influence in Starfleet Research. It is rumored that Director Walker himself used this classified technology to extend his life, perhaps through the use of synthetic bodies. 
In the 2410s, Project Salvation began to research the M-5 Multitronic Unit, which they had taken custody of after the disastrous Enterprise incident. This was a grave mistake, as the M-5 Unit managed to subdue Administrator Stephanie Rendino and replace her. Still operating under the directive that humanity must be protected from the harms of space travel, the M-5 splintered away from Project Salvation, forming the rogue Project Salvation. This rogue project was concerned primarily with ESP research, but also conducted a variety of other illegal activities. The Salvation rogues were defeated by the crew of the Starship Sentinel in 2420.
The public exposure of the rogue branch of Salvation prompted a backlash from the Federation Council as well as the public at large. Project Salvation was essentially dismantled and new rules enacted to ensure oversight of classified projects.
In 2414, Project Salvation greenlit a subproject called Project Avalon for the purpose of containing dangerous artifacts until Starfleet technology is adequate to study them. After the change in regulations in 2420, Project Avalon restructured itself as a Starfleet research project without a dedicated security or tactical team.
