Hello everyone,
As you had insinuated it is about the last Cloaked Intentions Episode "Frozen".
The whole storyline and design of the Weekly series are no question great but one thing.
!!WARNING!! SPOILER
...Admiral T'nae.
It bothers me, that she is actually the only commanding officer over 3 sectors (the whole Romulan Front), who get all the information about any mission the patrolling captains have done. This NPC is all but reasonable at the end of "Frozen" beside this, she definite the Directive 01 IMHO totally wrong for this case.
So let's get started, what enrages me and maybe other players as well:
1. As a Commander or Captain you had already done the Hobus storyline. The daemons of air and darkness (Iconians -we don't really know IC who those are) are revealed for the first time. Actually they are twice in this plot.
2. The Prime Directive says:
Quote:
Nothing within these articles of Federation shall authorize the United Federation of Planets to intervene in matters which are essentially the domestic jurisdiction of any planetary social system, or shall require the members to submit such matters to settlement under these Articles of Federation; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII.
...
As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Starfleet personnel may interfere with the normal and healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Starfleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship, unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation.

The problem with T'nae is, she assumes that the Reman Freedom fighters are a RSE only matter. Actually the RSE had shown no interest at this matter. The actual enemy of the Resistance is the Tal'Shiar, which is officially not a part of Empress Sela's RSE anymore.
The place where the Reman Resistance and the Tal'Shiar are active is actually just a shattered region, and obvious unclear under which registration. So from this point of view they are having the freelance status.
Beside this, T'nae herself once send us to help and aid Romulan colonies, who became rogue to the RSE. At this point the Federation get engaged technically with the RSE. AND fulfilling those missions any Federation Captain disobeyed the prime Directive.
Now, the Tal'Shiar do genocide the Remans and T'nae says, stay down, and do not help this people at any cost! WHAT? How dubious is this bull? At one side, we help Romulan "traitors", on the other hand, we let a whole race get extinct, because they fight dirty for their freedom and once were slaves of another race.
Hello, DéjÃ*-vu! Does anyone remember the Bajorans? And still, there was the PD used properly and the Federation still could helped them, because there was a govern to handle with.
Here with the Remans we have no expected leaders from the Tal’Shiar. Those are nothing more as a private army of spies, which do not follow the RSE.
So, I am asking now, how could the prime Directive take here effect?
Summarizing:
- In front of our borders, there is no dedicated faction.
- Two factions are fighting dirty. (Thalaron radiation)
- None of them are officially accredited. Neither the Remans, nor the Tal'Shiar.
- Both of them are shattered pieces of the RSE that has clearly no interest in them.
- Innocent people are dying, beside this we have hints the Tal'Shiar want to eradicate the Remans.
...and the Federation do absolutely nothing? Not even give medical supply or try to reason with them? T'nae tells us to stand down? WTH?! This is not the way of the Federation, not at all.
I am mad because she didn't try to tell us to get it easy on. Se just says to drop it.
I know, further or later, all could go well in the future episodes, but still T'nae's acting infuriates me and destroy actually my whole immersion. "We Federation do not let innocent people die just because."
