Isaac Asimov, (lifelong friend of Gene Roddenberry) had this to say at a NYC Star Trek Convention in 1973 which I believe you'll find fascinating.
They (producers/actors) speak about the mission of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 being to boldly go (a split infinitive I heard every single time) to boldly go where no man has ever gone before.
They (Paramount Pictures/Gene Roddenberry) mean it primarily I suppose, "territorially" they're visiting stars that no man has till then, ever visited. The crew of the starship Enterprise are going through vast distances (at warpspeed 😁) no man has ever penetrated.
In addition here is a brave crew encountering problems that man has not faced. Star Trek really presented the Brotherhood of intelligence (Federation/Starfleet), it mattered not what form the intelligence (lifeforms) took or what kind of universe the intelligence built for it.
If it (alien lifeforms) was intelligent it was intelligent enough to build a culture, then it had the right to live in that culture. It had the right to exist and be and no other culture had a right to interfere with it as long as it was not endangering cultures beyond itself.
So trekkers what is Captain Kirk/Picards starship Enterprise primary mission objective?
In over 50 years the USS Enterprise has been upgraded, defended and battled it out while meeting new lifeforms. The quest for knowledge continues while keeping the peace in the galaxy.
Does Captain Picard chit chatting with Romulans in Star Trek Picard sit well with you?
Live Long and Prosper Trekkers.
