I imagine this would be a useful sequence to use in battle, as Picard tried to do. Implement it, and the ship blows up instantly. Or perhaps Sequence Omega is an immediate destruct order. This seems (to me) to be a special security sequence that one could/would use in a case where three officers (of sufficent security clearence) are not on the bridge. As for Nemesis, Picard specifies "Destruct Sequence Omega". In other words, having senior officers that the ship's computer recognizes as having a sufficent security clearence could walk onto any ship in the fleet, and give the proper codes for self destruct. If ship is found abandoned, and it's in danger of falling into enemy hands, any command crew in the fleet would need to be able to implement the sequence. I would think that destruct methods and codes would be standard throughout the fleet.

Nick 22:51 I was under the impression that the primary method of self-destruct from the TNG era onward resulted in a complete shutdown of the antimatter containment fields within all of the ship's antimatter storage pods. The former being used for compelte destruction (the most common) the second being used when (i) is not possible, ie close to a planet/ship etc. i) An anti-matter containment breach and ii) placed charges. umrguy42 04:48, (UTC) I must admit, I thought that there were always two forms of self-destruct. Maybe Kirk set the 1701 to blow up enough to take out the Klingons, but not so much that they'd lose their escape ship home(Kruge's BoP)- Pearse 18:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC) I'm not sure if I ever saw it stated anywhere official (or if it was just a possibility that came up in discussion with friends), but it's also possible that part of the reason for the lack of complete destruction of the 1701 over the Genesis Planet may have been that the damage to the ship, which knocked out the relays, accordingly may have not had the self destruct command transmitted to ALL of the (presumed) demolition charges on the ship. But according to Scott's Guide, there are two different methods of self destruction on the Connie Refit, one of which is designed not to damage nearby ships. Perhaps this is the sort of demolition seen in TSfS, though it didn't seem very successful at destroying every salvageable part of the ship.

? I think in the TNG Technical Manual it says the Ent-D has matter/antimatter charges spread throughout the ship.

Personally I found it much more entertaining than the boring white "poof" that Voyager went up in in that episode where the ship got cloned. On TSFS the destruct sequence was used to dispose of the Klingons and was therefore more drawn out to make it more exciting. Of course the question, I think, is largely academic since the core will breach by cause of demolition charges anyhow. But in ST:TSFS we see a drawn-out sequence of explosions which suggests no core breach but instead demolition charges. This, to me, suggests that the Constitution refit class uses a core breach. Methods of Destruct For Each Class?Ĭould it be determined which methods of self-destruct are used for each class? In ST:TMP Kirk orders preparations for self-destruct and Scotty explains that "when that much matter and anti-maitter come together" the explosion would kill V'Ger. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.127.107.200 ( talk). What episode (presumably DS9) do we see Defiant's destruct sequence? Reference needed. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ottens ( talk I added References to the Constitution, Galaxy and Sovereign classes, but I don't know in which certain episodes the others were mentioned.
