**The ultimate code was only to be used in the most extreme of circumstances. This included an attack by an alien force, a disaster, or an unforeseen scientific development, and also a provision for a danger that had not yet been anticipated. Misuse of the ultimate code was a crime in the Federation. Starships operating under the ultimate code were required to observe radio silence and were expected to approach at battle stations. | **The ultimate code was only to be used in the most extreme of circumstances.

The double red alert was a rarely used alert signal for extremely dire situations, especially when a nearly instantaneous response was required. A double red alert was technically equivalent to a red alert, except that it conveyed a higher sense of urgency. The alarms and lights for a double red alert were the same as for a standard red alert. | **The double red alert was a rarely used alert signal for extremely dire situations, especially when a nearly instantaneous response was required.
