    Given that they all generally seem to get away with it, I wonder if it’s actually more of a frequently bent or broken guideline than a strictly enforced law. Do we know if non-protagonist federation starship captains act and get away with similar?

      The pirate’s code Prime Directive is more what you’d call guidelines, than actual rules.

        Yes, Barbossa is my choice of captain in this situation as well.

          Would unironically love to see the cast of curse of the black pearl in a ST series.

      This feels like a “what happens in the Gamma quadrant, stays in the Gamma quadrant” sort of thing.

        And that is why Captain Ransom had to ultimately die. He could have snitched on her when they both returned home.

      No one immediately comes to mind. Has someone been court martialed and/or stripped of rank? As far as melon scratchers go, that’s a honey-doodle.

      Edit:

      Already an admiral, but it should count.
