Prime Directive Memory AlphaA starship captains most solemn oath is that he will give his life, even his entire crew, rather than violate the Prime Directive. The Prime Directive, also known as Starfleet General Order 1 or the Non Interference Directive, was the embodiment of one of Starfleets most important ethical principles noninterference with other cultures and civilizations. At its core was the philosophical concept that covered personnel should refrain from interfering in the natural, unassisted, development of societies, even if such interference was well intentioned. The Prime Directive was viewed as so fundamental to Starfleet that officers swore to uphold the Prime Directive, even at the cost of their own life or the lives of their crew.

The precursor to the Prime Directive, though somewhat undefined, could be traced back to Captain Jonathan Archers and Phloxs ethical dilemma faced when encountering two species, one with a terminal genetic illness and the other without. Archer commented that eventually, Starfleet would have to come up with some sort of a doctrine establishing what Humans should and should not do while exploring space and interacting with other lifeforms. They decided that interfering with the natural evolutionary course of these two species would go against the directive upon which they based their entire mission to meet new species and attempt peaceful communications, not to play God.

Jonathan Archer, sensing the need for the Prime Directive, 2. Dear DoctorThe Prime Directive did not apply equally to all societies on all planets at all times. Although a cornerstone of Federation philosophy, the scope of the Prime Directive varied depending on many factors. For example, the Prime Directive primarily applied to societies that had little to no actual knowledge of other worlds and space faring civilizations as with certain pre warp civilizations. TOS Bread and Circuses TNG First Contact, Who Watches The Watchers But it also applied to the internal affairs of societies which knew extensively of other worlds for example, interference in purely internal affairs by Starfleet was not permitted in the Klingon Civil War. Human colonies were excluded from its coverage all together, and by virtue of joining the United Federation of Planets member planets were subject to its laws, regulations, and authority. TNG The Masterpiece Society TOS Journey to Babel The result was a spectrum of application the more closely a civilization was tied to the Federation or Earth the greater the amount of interference in that civilization that was tolerated within the Prime Directive.

Others were subject to interpretation, with commanding officers in Starfleet being given great discretionary powers regarding how and whether the Prime Directive would apply to specific situations. This promoted debate among command crews about whether the Prime Directive would or should apply, and how best to balance competing ethical priorities.
