*'''Green Alert:''' There is no threat to the station, security may not have weapons visible, random searching is not allowed. | |||
*'''Blue Alert:''' There is a threat on station, random searches are permitted, non-lethal weapons may be visible. | |||
*'''Red Alert:''' There is a major threat on station, lethal weapons are expected to be distributed to security personnel. | |||
*'''Gamma Alert:''' There is a major and imminent threat on station, lethal weapons are to be distributed to all security, and may be distributed to any capable crew members. | |||
*'''Delta Alert:''' Destruction of the station is imminent, either eliminate the threat immediately or evacuate. | |||
In the event its impossible to raise the alert level due to lack of personnel, weapons may be distributed when deadly force is authorised | |||
Standard issue lethal weapons, such as the Warden's shotgun, or the Head of Security's X-01 MultiPhase Energy Gun may be carried at any alert level. Usage of these weapons is still governed by the deadly force clause | |||
