Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] ploys in ''[[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
* The standard ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[Aesop]] was that all sentient races should be treated equal. Kirk didn't kill the Gorn commander, even though the [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] had set them up to fight to the death and the [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]] trope is common in sci-fi.▼
▲* The standard ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[Aesop]] was that all sentient races should be treated
** It's a little inconsistent. The first season had the clearly intelligent "Salt Vampire" created treated like a [[Monster of the Week]], while a little later, they actually took the time to talk to the Horta.
*** The Salt Vampire was a legitimate threat to others. Kirk was well within his rights to kill the Gorn captain, considering how the Gorn attacked a settlement, but Kirk decided on the Advanced Trait of Mercy.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* There's an interesting mission in ''[[Star Trek Online]]''. Basically it deals with a Ferengi wanting a hologram program to complete his collection. He asks you to persuade another person to give him a copy. However, it's not a humanoid being, but rather a photonic being who holds the program. The rest of the mission is a small part about seeing photonic lifeforms as sentient. So in the future of the Prime timeline, photonic beings do gain some rights. Come to think of it, you can get a photonic bridge officer as well.
