It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between, in the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.

However there are certain circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
 
* '''Code Red Situation''' - situations which would warrant a Code Red, such as: full blown mutinies, hostile boarding parties, and Space Wizards automatically authorise lethal force. <br>Note: The Alert Status is not required to be elevated to Code Red as in most of these scenarios the Chain of Command will be too damaged or otherwise occupied to raise the Alert Level.

* '''Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective''' - certains targets are impervious to NLWs, such as Mechs, Xenomorphs, Borgs, and Hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile.

* '''Severe Personal Risk''' - sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the Officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue Wizards and Changelings. <br>Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this catagory, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions.

* '''Armed and Dangerous''' - if a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally. <br>Note: Unauthorised personnel in the armory are considored by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.

* '''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
