Darwin Project (Conflicted Hearts)

The Darwin Project was a military program started by Patrick Zala and spearheaded by Wyne Shensheki and Krista Kofun, it was continued following the Bloody Valentine War by Gilbert Durandal, and due to a legal date of three years being the contract limit for the project it caused any product made from the Project to not count towards ZAFT's military limit stated by the Junius Treaty.

The Program known as the Darwin Project was inspired by Charles Darwin's Evolution theory and Patrick Zala believed he would evolve the world into the perfect society by replacing all Naturals with Coordinators, Krista Kofun and Durandal used this guise and Patrick's agreement to do further experiments on Coordinators in hopes of discovering a genetic loophole for the lowered birth, and Wyne used this to his advantage to build powerful and destructive technologies.
