Why? If Starfleet has admitted to allowing worlds/civilizations to fall under the auspices of the Prime Directive why provide an exception for the Ba'ku?
Plus, a distress signal from the Ba'ku would seem unlikely. They didn't seem to have any usable technology and they would have to get outside of the Briar Patch for the signal to even reach anyone. |
It's been well-established that when people
ask for help, the PD doesn't apply.
If the Ba'ku never got a distress call out to anyone, of course, it's a moot point.
