James Smithson

James Smithson was a Starfleet starship captain serving sometime in the 2280s. Captain Smithson used his ship's weapons to detonate the nuclear missiles launched from the warring nations of an unknown planet. Becaause he violated the Prime Directive, Smithson was court-martialed. His actions in stopping a war were judged as "admirable" though a diplomatic approach would have been preferred.
