The story of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" takes place several years after the events of the original TV series and the first Star Trek movie.

After Khan hijacks the USS Reliant, he obtains access to a powerful weapon known as the Genesis Device, which is capable of destroying planets and creating new life forms simultaneously.
