* NotProven: ''Ashes of Eden'' reveals that following the events of the Genesis Trilogy, Starfleet launched an investigation into how David Marcus had acquired the Protomatter he secretly used in the Genesis Device. The official investigation concluded it had come from black market channels, but Kirk wasn't satisfied with these findings and had Chekhov quietly pursue his own independent investigation. Pavel eventually discovered that the protomatter had actually come from Starfleet's advanced strategic weapons research and development division, which was headed up by Kirk's old rival Admiral Drake. In other words, Drake was using the Genesis Project as a secret and illegal test-bed for potential protomatter [=WMDs=]. However, the failure of the Genesis Technology scuttled those plans and Drake covered his tracks before Starfleet's investigation began. So, Kirk and Chekov ''know'' he's guilty and had a role in David's death, but they can't officially prove it.
