Terran Empire.

Starfleet did have its problems, but anything involving humans is going to. Associating with humans was the most illogical thing Vulcans ever did. I guess the strategy was to have the insane on their side so they could watch them closely.

Or Cardassian. Or Romulan. Both were fascist.

When I say Starfleet I mean he wants the technology. He wants transporters and replicators and holodecks and photon torpedoes snd phasers, not the wisdom and maturity it takes to use that technology properly.

Which is exactly why the Prime Directive was set up. And I'm a believer in the theory that we are apes that, for various reasons, evolved certain abilities far faster than other primitive characteristics could keep up. We're like toddlers with things we shouldn't have.
