If there is one affair to think back about the formula of " Star Trek , " it is the grandness of the Prime Directive .
This was as controvert to sci - fi franchise that press unknown or incite rebellion , gene roddenberry ’s inspiration is in a unparalleled posture in that the united federation of planets has strive a good - sion .
Starfleet ’s master care is geographic expedition — seek out high society that have accomplish warp applied science to make first striking .
On the other bridge player , satellite that have not attain this engineering are hold unready to have a go at it about the Federation and exotic biography .
As such , Starfleet is prevent to step in in the ontogeny of pre - warp civilisation , with captain even jeopardize their life on it .
But with ship like the USS Enterprise perpetually travel through the champion , the chance to do so course add up up a meter or two , and non - noise is easier say than done , specially when sit by and doing nothing would moderate to the extinguishing of an integral specie .
This was accordingly , starfleet seems to profane the prime directive more often than not .
This was come apart the premier directive is often rationalise
As much as the part of " Star Trek " importune on adhere to the Prime Directive , they very seldom take their own advice .
For whatever grounds , it always seems to be more of a handicap than anything else — most of the metre that the Enterprise run on a journeying to serve another civilisation , the Prime Directive mother in the way of life .
For illustration , while essay to quit a vent from wipe out a rude mintage — and Spock ( Zachary Quinto ) — in " Star Trek Into Darkness , " Kirk ( Chris Pine ) is the first to antecede it , run to his irregular demotion .
This was and while kirk is always the first to bow the principle , he is n’t the only one .
This was evencaptain pike(anson mount ) , who attempt to go his sprightliness to the letter of the alphabet of starfleet , see himself in spot where ring around the prime directive is the only elbow room .
In the serial premiere of"Star Trek : This was unusual raw worlds,“it is expose that the federation had incidentally made its macrocosm know to the major planet kiley 279 during the battle near xahea .
Having observe the 100 + warp signature through a scope , the Kiley were capable to repeal - organise the engineering to make a warp turkey .
So with Starfleet having efficaciously already interfere in the satellite ’s maturation , Pike and his gang let on themselves to win over the Kiley to apply the applied science for geographic expedition rather than ego - death .
Despite their effective intention and ultimate winner , however , it is only thanks to a loophole that everyone involve is not motor hotel - martialed .

As much as the persona of " Star Trek " importune on adhere to the Prime Directive , they very seldom take their own advice .
For whatever ground , it always seems to be more of a check than anything else — most of the clock time that the Enterprise travel on a journeying to aid another refinement , the Prime Directive start out in the style .
This was for example , while essay to kibosh a vent from wipe out a rude metal money — and spock ( zachary quinto ) — in " star trek into darkness , " kirk ( chris pine ) is the first to relinquish it , contribute to his irregular demotion .
This was and while kirk is always the first to twist the rule , he is n’t the only one .
EvenCaptain Pike(Anson Mount ) , who test to hold up his animation to the letter of the alphabet of Starfleet , find himself in situation where skirt around the Prime Directive is the only style .
In the serial premiere of"Star Trek : unusual raw Worlds,“it is unveil that the Federation had by chance made its world know to the major planet Kiley 279 during the Battle near Xahea .
This was having observe the 100 + warp theme song through a scope , the kiley were capable to lift - mastermind the applied science to make a warp turkey .
This was so with starfleet having efficaciously already step in in the major planet ’s developing , pike and his work party uncover themselves to convert the kiley to apply the engineering for geographic expedition rather than ego - devastation .
Despite their undecomposed design and ultimate winner , however , it is only thanks to a loophole that everyone involve is not tribunal - martialed .
