  • Not any more than itā€™s fair to assume that, by showing the Barge of the Dead, or the Miranda-class, or the Oberth-class, or the Galaxy-class, or the proto-Klingons, that VOY: ā€œBarge of the Deadā€, ST II, ST III, TNG or TNG: ā€œGenesisā€ took place in a reality with different class ships or people.

    The Mirror Universe question is a separate one, to which there really is no good answer because weā€™ve only seen crossovers from the Prime Universe to its Mirror Universe counterpart. A bigger question is whether or not the Mirror Universe we saw in PRO: ā€œBroken Mirrorā€ is the same Mirror Universe we see in DS9 because there the Terran Empire seems to exist again.























  • I heard Trek Central suggest this, but Iā€™m not so sure.

    If weā€™re looking at a Prime Directive violation, weā€™re looking at the interference with the social development part, or on a more granular level, interfering with the internal affairs of a civilization.

    Sure, Bragh was a high ranking Klingon being part of the Oversight Council, but the death of Bragh was between Maā€™ah and Bragh. Boims and Mariner participated in the Rite of Jā€™ethurgh, but that wasnā€™t interfering in Klingon affairs, no more than Picard participating as Worfā€™s chaā€™DIch was. Technically, Maā€™ah accepted them as part of his quv beq, so they were invited in.

    And at the end, as far as Boims and Mariner is concerned, the Rite was over and completed - Bragh being a sore loser and the subsequent fight had nothing to do with them and they didnā€™t participate in it - only witnessed it. Nor was the fight a foreseeable consequence of Mariner trying to get Maā€™ah reinstated so she could get a Klingon Captain to assist in her mission, and especially not Braghā€™s death, which was only because he literally stabbed Maā€™ah in the back after yielding (by granting Maā€™ah his captaincy back).

    So I really donā€™t see the problem here. At worst they were bystanders to the death.
