Yellow Alert Mode

Created by on 03/12/2019 @ 6:54pm

Ship-wide state of increased readiness:

- All on-duty crew and attached personnel are informed of the potential crisis via panel display and are directed to prepare for possible emergency action

- Second shift crew personnel are also alerted and those in key operational positions are directed to prepare for possible duty on five minutes' notice

- Cross-trained second shift personnel are directed to prepare for possible duty in their secondary assignments

System Preparations

- Level 4 automated diagnostic series run on all primary and tactical systems to determine ship's current readiness status

- If offline, warp power core brought to full operational condition and maintained at 20% power output. Level 4 diagnostics provide a status report on warp capability including maximum available engine output

- Main impulse propulsion system brought to full operating condition. At least one backup reactor element is brought to hot standby. In Yellow Alert status triggered by potential hostile action, Saucer Module impulse propulsion system is brought to partial standby

- All tactical and long-range sensor arrays are brought to full operational status. Secondary mission use of any sensor elements can be overridden if required by the Bridge

- Deflector systems brought to full standby. Secondary defector generators brought to partial standby. All operational backup generators are energized to partial readiness

- Phaser banks are energized to partial standby. Power conduits are enabled and targeting scanners are activated. Level 4 automated diagnostics verifies operational status.

- Photon torpedo launchers are brought to partial standby. One torpedo device is energized to partial launch readiness and primed with a standard antimatter charge unless specifically overridden by Ops or Tactical. Level 4 automated diagnostics confirm operational status.

- The Battle Bridge is brought to partial standby status and backup bridge crews are notified for possible duty in the event of a possible Saucer separation.

- One of the two shuttlebays is brought to launch readiness. The number of shuttlecraft at launch readiness is maintained at one.

- Onboard sensors record the location of all personnel and alert Security of any anomalous activity. Location and activity information is recorded for post-mission analysis.

-

Level 5 diagnostics are performed to verify readiness of autonomous survival and recovery vehicle operations (lifeboats)

Yellow Alert can be authorized by:

- Captain, Executive Officer, Operations Manager, Chief Engineer, tactical Officer, or by the supervisor of any current primary mission operation. The main computer can invoke Yellow Alert in some cases upon detection of certain types of unknown spacecraft as well as detection of certain types of malfunctions or system failures.
