Upon initiation, shield are raised to maximum, SIF is raised to maximum, standby generators are brought on-line, phaser cannons are charged, torpedo tubes are loaded with full salvos and armed. Red alert is indicated by red strobes or lights in all compartments, 5 second klaxon siren and audible notification. All crew report to either their duty station or damage control location immediately.

Yellow Alert:

Any external emissions (communications, waste expelling, etc) can only be authorized by the CO, XO, COO and all emissions are logged and reported to the CO.

If the XO is confirmed to be unavailable, two of the senior staff must authorize the sequence in addition to the CO.

Auto Destruct Omega:

The Omega self destruct sequence is similar to the above sequence with the exception that this sequence initiates a chemical release onto the anti-deuterium tanks that is irreversible and results in tank breaches in 10 minutes.
