Condition invoked during actual states of emergency in which the ship or crew are endangered by emergencies or combat situations.

- Crew and attached personnel from all three duty shifts are informed via alarm klaxons and annunciator lights

- Key second shift personnel are ordered to report immediately to their primary duty stations which other second shift personnel report to their secondary duty stations

- Third shift personnel (who are on their sleep cycle) are ordered to report to their secondary duty or special assignment stations in fifteen minutes

System Preparations

- Level 4 automated diagnostics run on all ship's primary and tactical systems at five-minute intervals. Bridge given immediate notification of any significant change in the ship's readiness status.

- If offline, warp power core is brought to full operating condition and maintained at 75% power output. Level 3 diagnostics are conducted on warp propulsion systems at initiation of Red Alert status. Level 4 series repeated at five minute intervals.

- Main propulsion system is brought to full operating condition. All operational backup reactor units are brought to hot standby. In actual or potential combat situations, the Saucer Module propulsion system is brought to full operating status.

- All tactical and long-range sensor arrays are brought to full operational status. Secondary mission use of sensor elements is discontinued, except with the approval of Ops.

- Deflector systems are automatically brought to tactical configuration unless specifically overridden by the Tactical Officer. All available secondary and backup deflector generators are brought to hot standby.

- Phaser banks are energized to full standby. Power conduits are enabled, targeting scanners are activated. Level 2 diagnostics are performed to confirm operational status.

- Photo torpedo launchers are brought to full standby. One torpedo device in each launcher is energized to full launch readiness and primed with a standard antimatter charge of 1.5 kg.

- The Battle Bridge is brought to full standby status and backup Bridge crews are notified for possible duty in the event of possible saucer separation maneuvers.

- Both shuttlebays are brought to launch readiness. Two shuttlecraft are brought to launch minus thirty seconds readiness.

- 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 4 automated diagnostics are performed to verify readiness of autonomous survival and recovery vehicle systems (lifeboats). Readiness of ejection initiator servos is verified through a partial Level 3 semi-automated check. Security officers are assigned to insure that all passageways to lifeboat accesses are clear.

- Isolation doors and force fields are automatically closed between sections to contain the effects of possible emergencies, including fire and decompression of habitable volume.

All Red Alert rules operating rules are subject to adaption to specific situations. Red Alert can be invoked by the Captain, Executive Officer, Operations Manager, Chief Engineer, or the Tactical Officer. The main computer can automatically invoke Red Alert status in some cases upon detection of certain types of unknown spacecraft as well as detection of certain types of critical malfunctions or system failures. When automatically invoked by the computer, Red Alert status is subject to review by the Commanding Officer.
