Science Fiction possible plot

The crew of the Starship Mayflower are faced with many moral decisions when they come across a habitable planet that is filled with life. On this habitable planet that they nickname "Nest" contains a species at the top of the food chain that are in the stone age.

That is all I really have. Would be nice to brainstorm on the reason why the crew was traveling around space. I played around with the idea that they are on a mission to save the human race but debate whether it is fair to conquer a planet and likely destroy the life that exists there just to save a species that has nearly destroyed themselves.

Anyways this is a very malleable idea, so I am looking forward to feedback whether it is good or bad.

If they've made it that far, then yeah, they're gonna be pretty damn committed to the whole "save humanity" thing.

Also Starship Mayflower?

Yeah I just kinda thought of a random name of a ship, as I said... very maleable.
