Star Trek: 10 Most Evil Things Starfleet Has Ever Done
5. Imposing A Nazi Regime On A Innocent Planet
Sit back, because this one’s a doozy.
Kirk and crew are investigating the disappearance of Federation cultural observer John Gill. He's a former Starfleet Academy professor sent to study a primitive planet. The Enterprise arrives at Gill's station and is attacked by a thermonuclear weapon.
Kirk deduces that Gill has been doing some meddling, and it's time to get him out of there. When Kirk and Spock beam to the planet's surface things prove to be worse than they expected.
Turns out, Gill has converted the entire planet’s population into Nazis for some reason. And, they've declared war on a neighboring planet’s population, even planning their version of the Final Solution.
So, why has Gill, a seemingly thoughtful Starfleet expert committed this heinous act? Well, as he tells it, the planet was in chaos when he arrived and all he wanted was to bring order to the mayhem.
So, he decides to form a new government based on the most efficient one he could imagine: the Nazis.
No way that could go wrong...
