| rdfs:comment | - Blue Alert is a type of alert status with a variety of meanings, varying from starship or outpost to starship or outpost. Also known as Code Blue or Condition Blue, this alert can be used in a variety of situations and launches a variety of Starfleet procedures and protocol: on some ships, it signifies an environmental threat to the crew; on other ships, docking maneuvers; and on yet other ships, it shows landing procedures are under way. The refit USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) switched to blue alert as it entered Spacedock. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
- The bridge lighting on the refitted USS Enterprise turned blue when it prepared to enter the Earth Spacedock in 2285. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) The alert for starships on auxiliary power in 2287 was a blue status screen, along with the main lighting on the bridge switching to blue. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) In 2367, the event of an imminent environmental systems failure or disruption resulted in blue alert being called in the affected areas in order to help affected personnel escape or safeguard their lives. (TNG: "Brothers" )

(Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) The alert for starships on auxiliary power in 2287 was a blue status screen, along with the main lighting on the bridge switching to blue. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) In 2367, the event of an imminent environmental systems failure or disruption resulted in blue alert being called in the affected areas in order to help affected personnel escape or safeguard their lives. (TNG: "Brothers" ) The blue lighting effect seen in "Brothers" was created in post production by altering the hue of the standard "red alert". In the remastered version of the episode, the lighting remains red. [1] The USS Defiant went to blue alert when engaging its Romulan cloaking device in 2371. (DS9: "The Search, Part I") On a vessel with landing capabilities, such as the Intrepid-class, blue alert was called as an indication that the ship was preparing either to land or to take off; the crew would then need to report to code blue stations, in order to aid in the landing/liftoff procedures. (VOY: "The 37's", "Demon") Blue alert was the minimum required ship status for landing an Intrepid-class starship, as the USS Voyager did make a landing while at red alert without switching to blue alert status. (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth") Blue alert was also used when a Prometheus-class starship activated its multi-vector assault mode. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle") This could also indicate that blue alert would be called on Galaxy-class ships prior to saucer separation, although this protocol was never referenced in any of the instances of that occurring on The Next Generation.

The refit USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) switched to blue alert as it entered Spacedock. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) Code Blue was issued as an alert for "statements to be made by yeomen Burke and Samuel" as part of a ruse to trap Lt Levarus in the Klingon/Federation attempt to undermine the peace treaties between both empires. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) For many ships without landing capabilities, like the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D, blue alert signified environmental failure, threatening the lives of the crew. (TNG: "Brothers") Aboard ships with landing capabilities, such as the Intrepid-class USS Voyager, blue alert meant the ship was landing or taking-off. (VOY: "The 37's") Some ships, like the Prometheus-class, use blue alert to indicate a separation sequence into multi-vector assault mode. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle") It remains unclear if ships capable of saucer separation like the Galaxy-class also go to blue alert. Blue alert was declared aboard the USS Defiant when the cloaking device was activated. (DS9: "The Search, Part I")
