To be fair to Janeway when the Omega situation, the regulations did also state that the Omega directive itself overrode all other Starfleet regulations, including the Prime Directive. Given she had already been given that much leeway, and the complexity of the situation, the only way she had to carry out her orders without thing going massively wrong was to inform her crew.

A great video, Trekculture, though I have a minor correction: Tracy was after the immortality in "The Omega Glory," the source of which would also eliminate the disease that prevented him and Kirk & Co from leaving the planet (this turned out to be a pipe dream, the planet's environment immunizing anyone after a certain time and the Natives being long-lived via evolved resistance to the disease). He also didn't die in the episode but was taken back to Starfleet by Kirk, though his reputation was now irrecoverable, as stated in the video. Still, it's a great list and video.

I wonder if we could find some dirt on them?😝 It was mentioned from the original series about a galaxy/universe mostly uncharted, or explored, but I always found it strange that there were space stations out there in places where there shouldn’t be, and planets where the Federation had already been, and the Enterprise went back to those planets. I would have loved to have seen more aliens that were a first contact situation, to see how Kirk and crew would have dealt with them. Just thinking out loud. 😄

I think for Janeway, a lot of her rulebreaking was justified, she along with the crew were put into an exceptional situation of survival while trying to maintain their standards, so some rules that would have seen her stripped of command back home she had to break to save ship and crew; Sisko on the other hand, yeah, poisoning a planet as well as faking that meeting to draw the Romulans into the war, that should have landed him with major demotions, if not outright prison time, specifically for the planet, Kirk on the other hand, well, he was doing the right thing, not always the right way, but he had morals regardless...

Number 10 Pressman doesn't really count as it wouldn't have been Pressman breaking the rules. He would have been acting under starfleet orders in relationship to the phased cloacking device aboard the Pegasus. Not even starfleet captains can just turn their ships into testbed vessels without approval from on high. Therefore Pressman, like Riker, was acting under starfleet orders. Number 2 Jayneway also doesn't really count. The omega directive literally allows starfleet captains to break the rules. Even the prime directive, starfleet's general order 1, is voided during a situation with omega. Omega is seen as so bad that a captain can bend or break any rule out there and not be held accountable.

Captain Gabriel Lorca said it best: "Rules and Regulations are for peasants. Context is for Kings." Captain Kirk's violation of the Prime Directive in A Taste of Armageddon can be laid at Robert Fox's feet- the proto Picard naively thought that 'diplomacy solved anything and everything (as the UK'S PM Chamberlain wrongly thought, jabbering of 'peace in our time' prior to World War II. Janeway's Deliberate violation of the Temporal Prime Directive for purely personal reasons in Endgame should've been cited; at least she was covered by the Omega Directive in the titular episode. Jean-Luc Picard is excepted? What of the actions seen in Pen Pals, or the film Insurrection?

Are you sure? In the episode "Pen Pals," Picard was about to let an entire planet die to uphold the Prime Directive. However, when he heard the little girl's voice for himself, he changed his mind and interfered anyway, knowing that they were in deep. Later, in "A Matter of Time" Picard tells the time traveler Rasmussen about the Prime Directive, and that he, on occasion, ignored it because "it was the right thing to do." (Previous point a prime example.) Also, even though Admiral Dougherty was indeed acting against the Ba'ku's interests, Picard was still violating orders from a superior officer. Justifiably so, but still a court-martial offense that Starfleet chose not to prosecute.

I'd say the main thing with Kirk "breaking the rules" is that, by the rules.of the original series, he zigged within the rules as opposed to zagged - so still opporated within the framework of the rules, but interpreted them different. The one "Biggie" for Kirk was his theft of the USS Enterprise 1701 (no bloody, A, B, C or D) to fly to Genesis - both major rule violations, with the subsequent destruction of the old conie being the third. Following his voluntary return on the Bounty (via 20th century earth - another violation) he again follows the rules, with Spock and Sulu being the primary rule breakers. Heck, the guy gives up the chance to rush to the rescue once more on the Enterprise B reminding captain Harriman that the captains place is on the bridge, thereby saving John's life by pretty much saying "this ship is too young to be without her captain, and I'm a relic who knows what he's doing". Also, everyone takes a sip for Captain Kim!
