Operation GEMINI

Operation GEMINI was a covert plan to cover up the death of Joshua Marik by replacing him with a body double. It had its roots with Operation DOPPELGANGER.

During the 3051 conference on Outreach, First Prince Hanse Davion offered to take Joshua Marik to the New Avalon Institute of Science to treat his leukemia. In exchange, the Free Worlds League provided war supplies to the Federated Commonwealth and Draconis Combine to fight the Clans.[1]

Before his death in 3052, Hanse Davion initiated a contingency plan for the possibility that Joshua might die in the care of the Federated Commonwealth. If Joshua died, he could be replaced by a body double so that his father, Captain-General Thomas Marik, would be unaware of his son's death.[2][3]

When Joshua died in 3057, Hanse's son Victor Steiner-Davion activated the contingency plan, replacing Joshua with a lookalike.[3][4][5] When the substitution was discovered later that year, Thomas Marik retaliated by launching Operation GUERRERO.[6]
