    Any good captain knows that’s a rule worth breaking. If your options are: a) save a whole planet of people or b) keep your fancy status job in a post-scarcity economy, then you know it’s morally worth it to get court marshalled.

      Besides, federation prison is just a sunny beach on New Zealand anyway. The worst part is getting stuck in the delta quadrant but that happened like one time.

        I didn’t remember what their prison is, but that makes the choice so much easier. Was that in Voyager?

          Yeah, it’s been awhile, but iirc in the first episode Janeway springs Paris from a prison in new zealand because she needs a pilot.
