Editing Prime Directive (section)

==== ''Voyager'' ====
*In the ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' episode "[[The Omega Directive]]," an exception to the Prime Directive was introduced. Starfleet's Omega Directive authorizes a captain to take any and all means necessary to destroy Omega particles including interference with any society that creates them.
*In the episode "[[Infinite Regress (Star Trek: Voyager)|Infinite Regress]]", Naomi Wildman informs Seven of Nine that she was familiar with the Prime Directive including all 47 suborders.
*In the episode "[[Natural Law (Star Trek: Voyager)|Natural Law]]," Chakotay and Seven of Nine encounter a primitive culture protected by an energy barrier that they crash a shuttle into which protects the culture from the rest of the planet's more advanced inhabitants. Although the two try to avoid contact, the natives encounter and help an injured Chakotay and start mimicking the pair and collecting shuttle debris as jewellery. After Seven manages to use the shuttle's deflector to lower the barrier, ''Voyager'' is able to beam out all of the loose technology and minimize the Prime Directive violation. However, this leads to another issue when the other culture on the planet -- who have achieved spaceflight and openly engaged in friendly relations with ''Voyager'' -- seek to use the downed barrier to explore the previously blocked portion of their planet and civilize the natives. While such an idea has its benefits and detractors, Janeway cites the Prime Directive as the reason for taking down the barrier. In response, the natives knock out ''Voyager's'' transporters and actively try to force the crew to leave the deflector behind, forcing Tom Paris to destroy it with the ''Delta Flyer'' instead. However, Seven worries that as her deflector modifications were already scanned, they may be replicated in time to take down the barrier again.
*In the episode "[[Endgame (Star Trek: Voyager)|Endgame]]" the Future Admiral Janeway warns the present Captain Janeway against holding on to the "Prime Directive" when the Future Janeway goes back in time to change history by having Voyager get back to Earth in only 7 years instead of 23 years.
