  • Starfleet General Orders and Regulations
rdfs:comment
  • Starfleet General Orders and Regulations were a guide to instruct Starfleet members on policies and procedures in situations requiring consultation for a resolution.
  • Starfleet General Orders and Regulations (or Basic Orders) are a series of guidelines used to instruct members of Starfleet on the proper etiquette and policy in a situation that requires consultation for a resolution. These guidelines are especially useful in situations where flag officers cannot be consulted to resolve a situation. (VOY episode: "Equinox") Several of the first one hundred-plus Starfleet Orders used by the Federation Starfleet, were in place during the 22nd century, evidently implemented by Earth Starfleet. (ENT episode: "Hatchery")
  • The Prime Directive, also known as the Non-Interference Directive, required Starfleet to respect the right of intelligent life to develop on its own, unless the likely harm resultant from not acting outweighed the harm from acting, or unless the situation directly affected Federation security. This was intended as a guideline rather than an unbreakable rule and warp-capable cultures were typically not subject to this directive under 23rd century judicial interpretation. By the mid-24th century the idea of the Prime Directive as a guideline had become perverted into an unflinching dogmatic adherence to the idea that any interference at all, even occasionally with other warp-capable cultures, was a violation. This interpretation had fallen out of favor by century's end.
  • Starfleet General Orders and Regulations were a series of guidelines used to instruct members of Starfleet on the proper etiquette and policy in a situation that required consultation for a resolution. These protocols were the foundation of Starfleet and the responsibility of its officers to uphold and protect, ranging from all manners of duty, such as interstellar diplomacy to punctuation of reports. Violations of protocol could have led to being placed on report, a court martial, demotion of rank, or other reprimands.

abstract
  • Starfleet General Orders and Regulations were a series of guidelines used to instruct members of Starfleet on the proper etiquette and policy in a situation that required consultation for a resolution. These protocols were the foundation of Starfleet and the responsibility of its officers to uphold and protect, ranging from all manners of duty, such as interstellar diplomacy to punctuation of reports. Violations of protocol could have led to being placed on report, a court martial, demotion of rank, or other reprimands. These guidelines' fundamental principles were integral for Starfleet officers to help avoid conflicts of interest, (TNG: "Redemption" ) including one's duty to the truth. (TNG: "The First Duty" ) Guidelines were useful in many situations, including when flag officers could not be consulted to resolve a situation. (VOY: "Equinox") Several of the first one-hundred-plus Starfleet Orders were used by the United Earth Starfleet prior to the founding of the Federation. (ENT: "Hatchery") As of 2366, there were no regulations prohibiting the unauthorized recreation of Starfleet personnel on the holodeck. (TNG: "Hollow Pursuits" )
