Editing Prime Directive (section)

==== ''Deep Space Nine'' ====
*In the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' (''DS9'') first season episode "[[Captive Pursuit]]", [[Benjamin Sisko|Commander Sisko]] references the Prime Directive as his reason for choosing not to interfere in a hunt of a member of sentient species from the Gamma Quadrant that is bred to be hunted. In the end, Sisko does allow [[Miles O'Brien (Star Trek)|Chief O'Brien]] to assist the hunted being to escape from his captors to continue the hunt.
*In the episode "[[The Circle (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|The Circle]]", the government of the planet [[Bajor]] experiences an internal, civil war-like conflict. Starfleet Commander Benjamin Sisko's superior orders him to evacuate all Starfleet personnel from the station, noting, "The [[Cardassians]] may involve themselves in other people's civil wars, but we don't."
* In the episode "[[In the Pale Moonlight]]", Sisko and [[Elim Garak|Garak]] plant evidence to force the Romulans to enter the [[Dominion War]] under false pretenses, with full knowledge and approval from Starfleet Command, despite this violating the Prime Directive's edict of not interfering with other cultures or civilizations. Participation in the war by the Romulans resulted in massive military and civilian casualties within Romulan society.
