[edit] History

[edit] Origins

The Project began in earnest on October 13, 1973 when members of the Department of State convened to create the Syndicate. They made a deal with the aliens to assist in the colonization of Earth whereby they presented to the aliens human genetic samples in the form of handing over loved ones. In return, Syndicate scientists were given an alien fetus.

[edit] Hybridization

Main article: Hybrid

One of the major goals of the Project was to create an alien/human hybrid using both human and alien DNA taken from the fetus. Many brutal experiments were conducted with genetic hybridization and cloning in the relentless search for a hybrid. Cassandra Spender was the first successful hybrid.

Main article: Vaccine

However, the Syndicate saw their own needs above the aliens' and spent twenty-five years attempting to create an alien/human hybrid that could resist and ultimately destroy the alien invaders.

[edit] End

The Project came to a fiery end in 1999 when the faceless alien rebels overturned their masters and successfully intercepted the Syndicate members who were preparing to hand over Cassandra Spender to the aliens. Instead of meeting the aliens as expected, the Syndicate members encountered the rebels and were all killed. With the destruction of the Syndicate, the Project ended. ("One Son")

[edit] Legacy

In 2000, a UFO collided with a Navy fighter jet and crashed in Bellefleur, Oregon. The Cigarette Smoking Man quickly saw this as an opportunity to revive the Project. He had Marita Covarrubias retrieve Alex Krycek from the Forj Sidi Toui penal colony in Tunisia to collect the spacecraft before it completed rebuilding itself and left. However, Krycek was unable to find the ship as it had a cloaking device enabled. Fearing he had been set up by the Smoking Man yet again, Krycek returned and nearly murdered him. ("Requiem")

The power vacuum left by the Syndicate was quickly filled and a new project to repel the aliens began. Instead of creating genetic hybrids, genetically engineered super soldiers were being created.
