One Prime Directive violation I think we'd all be happy with

If they've got FTL, it's not violating the Prime Directive.
Aiding an independent state at war with another independent state would probably require going through the Federation Council, unless the President can provide military aid through discretionary spending.
It's been a while since I've seen the movie but I vaguely remember something about the Thermians on-board the ship* being the last of their kind, and Wikipedia only describes Sarris as a "warlord" which means both factions may be non-state actors, which could either complicate or simplify things depending on Federation law.
It seems like Starfleet captains have broad discretion in choosing to render humanitarian aid to warp-capable peoples, though.
Still better than the Kazon ¯(ツ)/¯

Also: The dudes from Galaxy Quest are basically good natured Pakleds.
He's entirely wrong. The dudes from Galaxy Quest figured out the science and built all that shit from scratch based on nothing but a video description. If anything, they're hypercompetent anti-Pakleds!
