At a Glance
Only six years have passed since Tarsus IV made the Federation News Network headlines: Kodos, then-Governor of Tarsus IV, summarily executed 4,000 colonists to save another 4,000 from the effects of a fungal crop blight. Deciding that he could save lives, Kodos usurped control of the colony, declared martial law, and used a calculation based on forbidden Eugenics research to formulate who was "necessary" versus "unnecessary." Subsequently, he had those deemed "unnecessary" executed.
