Obviously DEFCON is a stand alone game "universe", since I doubt Uplink or Darwinia would exist were it to happen (plus it has no officail plot).
My question is (since I havn't played Uplink), do Darwinia and Uplink exist in the same game universe, and are they at all connected plot wise?

It would kinda make sense. If the red DGs retain the same intelligence and awareness that the green ones have, then if someone could "steal" a few of them they could have an incredibly nasty virus. A virus that doesn't just act, but activly thinks.
Both Uplink and Darwinia mention a corporation called "Darwin Research Associates"
In Uplink, ARC stole some "genetic algorithms" from them to build the Revelation virus.
In Darwinia, Darwin Research is the name of the company founded by Sepulveda that maintains Darwinia.

I tend to think of those more as in-jokes than actual meaningful links. If Uplink had come after Darwinia then maybe yes, but not the other way around.
Of course Subversion / UpDefWinia will link all 3 so we're told.
