In this status, a ship's defense fields were energized, and/or the deflector shields were brought to full power, but the weapons systems remained off-line. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon" ; "The Lights of Zetar" ; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) Depending on the situation, the captain could order a reduction in the closing speed between itself and any potential incoming threats. (TAS: "The Pirates of Orion"; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

  • A yellow alert (also condition yellow or code yellow) is the second highest alert signal status on Starfleet vessels, one stage below red alert. It designates a ship-wide state of increased preparedness for possible crisis situations. In this status, deflector shields are brought to full power, however the weapons systems may remain off line.
  • Yellow Alert is an alert signal used on Starfleet starships and facilities. In 2254, Captain Christopher Pike ordered the USS Enterprise to yellow alert anticipating attacks from rogue elements in the Marrat Nebula. (EV comic: "The Fires of Pharos") Generally, in the 23rd Century, this precaution is unusual at a spacedock, when starships are on the ready inside. A flaw of yellow alert status in this time was that minor warnings in the ship data banks didn't process a likely red alert event. Such as a faulty module lives depend on for safe beaming.

(TAS: "The Pirates of Orion"; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) A yellow alert could either be activated manually by the commanding officer in preparation for a tactical or environmentally hazardous situation, or automatically upon detection of unknown or hostile spacecraft, or upon detection of certain system malfunctions. If the situation escalated, the commanding officer or the main computer would order a red alert. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" )

(TOS movie: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) In the 24th, sensors automatically raise shields and prepare computers for whatever outside stimuli dictate. One design flaw also corrected was the minimization of shipboard communications and readings that warrant unwanted scanning. (TOS episode: "Balance of Terror") Warp engines and impulse thrusters also have their power signatures masked by background subspace static or natural space phenom. Certain actions cannot bypass yellow alert. Such as using a tractor beam, de-pressurizing a deck, or within the gravity field of another planet. Performing or receiving sensor sweeps usually illicit this as well. (TNG episode: "When the Bough Breaks" , Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (game) (SNES)) Aboard the USS Enterprise-D the yellow alert led to all bridge stations becoming fully active and enabled, with diagnostics of the tactical and primary systems. Also, the operations manager would also limit activities that could be a "hinderance" to emergency preparedness. (TNG video game: Echoes From the Past)
