Autodestruct

NotesImages
Universe : Prime Timeline
Name : Autodestruct [1]

A procedure built into Federation Starships which allows them to destroy themselves in order to prevent capture. [2] Some autodestruct modes detonate explosive devices within the ship, [3] while others bring all of the antimatter fuel into contact with matter simultaneously. This mode is more than sufficient to completely vaporize the largest vessels. [4] Most vessels require both the Captain and one or more senior officers to agree in order to engage the autodestruct feature. [3]
