1@Nu'Daq: sure! That's the thing about planetary civil wars: there aren't any occupiers, everyone's already there.– Paul D. WaiteCommented Aug 4, 2021 at 22:44

9"You can't just go around invading places because you don't like how they're run" unless there's oil there...– TimCommented Aug 5, 2021 at 8:15

1@Nu'Daq: "Even invading the planet would be preferable to just washing their hands of it and leaving thugs in charge"— not according to Starfleet's values. If you think it's better to invade planets to improve their quality of life, go ahead and find yourself a Borg ship to assimilate into!– Paul D. WaiteCommented Aug 5, 2021 at 13:05

3Invading a member planet because of internal strife also has a tendency to make your other members rather nervous. Everyone from Vulcan to Bajor will end up thinking "if we don't toe the line, will the Federation invade us next?" and that's never a good look.– CadenceCommented Aug 5, 2021 at 16:09

1I don't believe that the Prime Directive would apply to an Earth colony, just alien civilizations.– Emsley WyattCommented Aug 5, 2021 at 17:13

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
