The crew faces situations that are familiar to Star Trek fans and shows the origins of some concepts which have become taken for granted in Star Trek canon, such as Lt. Reed's development of force fields and Captain Archer's questions about cultural interference eventually being answered by later series ' Prime Directive.

This information below originates from the board wargame Star Fleet Battles, as well as related game systems such as Prime Directive and Federation and Empire.

Starfleet has a Prime Directive of non-interference with developing worlds or their internal politics.

The Prime Directive and Starfleet's first contact policies are at the center of several episodes in each Star Trek series and the film Star Trek: First Contact.

For obvious continuity reasons, in Star Trek: Enterprise, the Prime Directive is conspicuously absent.

In the universe of Star Trek, the Prime Directive, Starfleet's General Order # 1, is the most prominent guiding principle of the United Federation of Planets.

The Prime Directive dictates that there can be no interference with the internal development of alien civilizations.

The Prime Directive is a Starfleet regulation, and thus only applies to Starfleet officers.

The only stated exception to the Prime Directive is the Omega Directive, in which a captain is authorized to take any means to destroy Omega Molecules when detected.

Whenever the Omega Directive is in force, the Prime Directive is effectively rescinded.

The Prime Directive closely mirrors the zoo hypothesis explanation for the Fermi paradox.

Star Trek stories have used the Prime Directive as a literary device which allows the exploration of interactions with less advanced societies without the heroes having the overwhelming advantage of easy access to and use of their technology.

Since Star Trek has consistently used alien interactions as an allegory for the real world, the Prime Directive has served as a template to tell stories which resemble those of real human societies and their interactions with less technologically advanced societies, such as the interaction between modern cultures and indigenous peoples.

In the fictional storyline, the Prime Directive was created by Star Fleet and the United Federation of Planets shortly after they were first formed.

Since then the Prime Directive has been breached on many occasions, both accidentally and deliberately.
