Genesis (Silent Warrior)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Genesis was a cloning cargo ship.

It was meant to carry cells across the universe to human colony planet and begin growing the clones on the way, as a convenient way to transport livestock to such colonies. However, the ship was infiltrated by Field Major Starn of Sontaran Military Intelligence, who grew an army of Sontaran clones from his own DNA in the ship's cloning tanks. This was not because Sontarans had run out of cloning facilities themselves, but rather a military deception, meant to allow Starn to fly a Sontaran army undetected to Sigma 150, which existed on the frontier between human space and Rutan space, so as to continue the Rutan-Sontaran War.
