2The Prime Directive doesn't apply only to pre-warp civilzations. It applies to any sovereign entity. See TNG Redemption parts 1 and 2.– XantecCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 19:49

1The answer still stands, though, since this small colony would not represent a sovereign entity.– RogerCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 20:04

The premise of the answer is valid but the details are not. I'd recommend removing the 'pre-warp' and 'aware of other cultures' statements because that is categorically incorrect.– NKCampbellCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 20:18

1@Xantec - completely disagree. The Prime Directive is targeted at developing (mostly pre-warp) civilisations. I think you're getting it confused with the principle that personnel visiting a planet must abide by that planet's laws.– TimCommented Apr 11, 2017 at 20:36

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
