Signals either a total or imminent disaster, a possible invasion, or indicates that the Federation is either currently or about to be engaged in open warfare with a hostile power. The code requires all STARFLEET personnel within the affected area to immediately assume a 'war' footing or posture. It is also colloquially known as "Defense Alert", or a "Priority One Alert".

Code 1A:

A state of War has been declared. Contact with STARFLEET, on a secure sub-space channel, is required for further instructions.

Code 2:

STARFLEET encryption protocol that the Romulans had broken as of 2267.

Code 4:

During the act of war, no Federation starship will fire upon any humanitarian relief ship of the opposing side.

Code 5:

When a Federation starship takeover is imminent, by hostile forces, and the self-destruct cannot be activated, the Commanding Officer, or Senior Officer in charge, shall initiate ship-wide computer lock out so any hostile forces cannot take control and use the starship for any acts of violence.

Code 6:

This message is for Admirals only. An Admiral may discuss it at anytime with the Commanding and First Officer if need be. If the message is disclosed to Commanding and First Officer, Code 3 must be strictly followed.
