[OOC][PLOT] Planning for Arc 2 - Crisis on Infinite Earths

[Dartz]

The Prime Directive makes for good drama, but the basic ethos makes a sense.

You don't get involved because interplanetary politics becomes a race to find uncontacted Civ's to get them involved
Uplifting Civis is a lot like putting a Turtle on a Post - it's fun at first -- but they'll probably fall off and hurt themselves if you don't spend a lot of time trying to keep them there.

And generally, even when Contact has been entirely peaceful and well intended - the contacted Civ tends to get fucked over hard and end up mostly dead. Lets not be King Leopold in Space ---- too much Sci-Fi is like that.
