*'''Secret''' - Secret information is information that could harm the Federation if given out to enemies, used improperly or poses an risk to Federation civilians. This information is restricted to specific personnel - and typically, are read into the program. (Example: the physicals of how the Quantum Slipstream Drive integrates into Starfleet Deflectors. The history of how we acquired the QSD is also more than likely still classified as Secret by Starfleet Command. Essentially, any post 2380's technology Voyager produced would be rated Secret as how it works and where it was acquired.). There are several times where characters will generate Secret information - but think twice about applying this. Secret classification should be used sparingly. In many cases, Secret information may be withheld from people even with Top Secret clearances if they are not read into the program. Dissemination Limiters begin to see usage here. <font color=red>'''Any temporal incident not released by the DTI or obviously cannot be classified should be considered Secret'''</font> | *'''Secret''' - Secret information is information that could harm the Federation if given out to enemies, used improperly or poses an risk to Federation civilians.

*'''Top Secret''' - Top Secret information is information that will harm the Federation's interests. Generally, Top Secret is subdivided into special access programs. A blank Top Secret clearance would let you know certain programs exist but wouldn't tell you anything about them. People are read into Top Secret programs only as required. An important note is that there are several Top Secret programs that even someone with a Top Secret clearance | *'''Top Secret''' - Top Secret information is information that will harm the Federation's interests.

People are read into Top Secret programs only as required. An important note is that there are several Top Secret programs that even someone with a Top Secret clearance wouldn't know. Just because you have the clearance doesn't mean that many people would know all that is under this classification. Almost any information Top Secret will be stamped with other dissemination limiters. <font color=red>'''An example is the Omega Directive. This is a very need to know basis. '''</font> | ||
*'''Most Secret''' - A rumored classification, but not one that officially exists. If it DID exist however, Section 31 might fall under it.. (OOC Note: This is also conspiracy theory territory. Please do not use this. It's added just as a thing that is a popular rumour.) | *'''Most Secret''' - A rumored classification, but not one that officially exists.

Such as the Klingon Empire (usually KLIN), Romulan Star Empire (RSE), Cardassian Union (CAR), for examples.

*THAR: Outdated, but during the Dominion War, anything being released to alliance partners was tagged //THAR// (three arrows - Romulan, Klingon, Federation). Older variants of this include TWAR - two arrows. | *THAR: Outdated, but during the Dominion War, anything being released to alliance partners was tagged //THAR// (three arrows - Romulan, Klingon, Federation).

*''Code Black''' (CDBLK): Information titled Code Black is not to be kept on the main computer of a starship and is limited to the only those involved and the Chief or Deputy Chief of Starfleet Intelligence. Once CDBLK is invoked, the mission is to be aborted if at all possible. | *'''Code Black''' (CDBLK): Information titled Code Black is not to be kept on the main computer of a starship and is limited to the only those involved and the Chief or Deputy Chief of Starfleet Intelligence.
