In The Return of the Archons, the crew arrive on a planet called Beta III, where civilization is not up to par with Earth's 23rd century technology. It's more like Earth's 1800's era. It is the first time we hear the term "The Prime Directive", Starfleet's policy of not displaying their knowledge of technology or using it to interfere with civilizations that are unaware of space travel, even if it means letting an entire civilazion die. Of course, rules are made to be broken, so Capt. Kirk attempts to help a peaceful civilization overcome an evil force, even if it causes them to resort to a violent and war-like state.
Aye there, me lady. Thems are a mighty fine pair of dark stems holdin' you up. |
