Yup, it was not the first ep, but it came up pretty quick enough. Remember "Piece Of The Action" ? That was dealing with what happened before the prime directive. A ship had come and left books, and one of them was about the Chicago gangs back when they ran the place. The whole planet apparently ran by mob rules, which doesn't mean what you think, I mean THE mob rules, not just a bunch of rubes on the street. I you remember the two planets, had a ship ad were transporting all goods and services to another in the same solar system for drugs to which they had become addicted but did ot know, Piccard shot Crusher down with the fact that these people have a fucked up relationship, which is about to go sour because their ship to transport the goods for the drug was breaking down, that repairing the ship would be interfering. She disagreed but he was the captain. They withdrew their assistance and let the chips fall. This is something we need to do. Live and let live, but then again, live and let die. If Piccard would have let them fix up the ship that scam would go on for a long time. But now, there will be widespread suffering on the one planet because they did not learn that the drug that saved them was like a narcotic and they were cured and were now addicted to it. After while, they will come out of that hangover and realize they been fucked over. So much for that. T^T
