The
Federation Navy utilizes a large variety of Emergency Codes. Depending on the type of code, a ship, naval base, fleet, or even all the ships under the Federation Navy, are required to do whatever the code orders. Certain codes can only be enacted by certain personnel, whilst others are automated depending on the situation. In addition, Emergency Alert Levels are used to show the level of readiness ships should have in the area, going from the lowest at level 1, to the highest at level 10.
Although the
Federation Army and the
Federation Air Force have their own emergency codes, all are separate from one another with only a few exceptions.
Emergency Alert Levels
