There have certainly been countless Starfleet priority one classified missions, but a Red Directive takes secrecy and urgency to another level.

This is likely because, during\u00a0<em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>\u00a0season 3, Burnham and Discovery&#8217;s crew were integrated with the 32nd-century Starfleet.
