    Remember that time that they met another crew trapped in the quadrant and the captain was like “how many times have you broken the prime directive?”

    Before real fans could finish counting up on both hands, Janeway is like “No, never! We would never cause harm to a single living thing!”

    Peperridge Farms remembers.

      If we’re talking about the Equinox, Janeway comes off as a saint by comparison.

        Yes, but I can think of one or two civilizations that might feel differently…

          Sure, she kinda sorta might have doomed the Ocampa when she destroyed the array.

            My memory is hazy but I thought the Kazon were going after the array to use it to destroy the Ocampa.

              Yes, but the array was also the Ocampan’s primary source of energy. They’d only survive a limited time on their own.

                I checked, and the caretaker supplied them with 100 years of energy before he passed. The Kazon were going to use the array to take their water, effectively destroying them immediately.

      Janeway: “Can’t report Prime Directive violations of I torpedo their ship, kill their Captain, and put the surviving crew on probation.”
