Prime directive

[UnimatrixZero]

Is there a prime directive in the stargate serie as in Star Trek? Which?

 

[ShelbyS]

Isn't it to defeat the goa'uld system lords and bring peace and harmony to the galaxy?

there is no 'thou shalt not interfere' rule...that's why carter could do her bit for woman's lib in emancipation, they could destroy the 'demon' in demons, and generally stick thier noses in on a case by case basis...take beneath the surface for example...sure by the end they've freed the workers, but now how is the planet going to survive? they destroyed the hammer to free teal'c in thor's hammer then actually had to fix the consequences of their actions in thor's chariot. same wtih double jeopardy...maybe that's what makes it so interesting, their actions are governed by their consciences not a rule...

'cos if they want war they should solve the problems on their own planet first ..

The SGC's standing orders were stated in The Other Side:

"To seek new allies and procure technologies to aid in the defence against the Goa'uld"

which leaves things pretty open for interpretation on a case by case basis...technically there's nothing but their own morals and hammond's morals to keep them from turning into maybournes
