- A distress beacon is a probe or other type of beacon that is used to send a distress call. Starships, outposts, and other installations may resort to using a distress beacon in case their emergency systems go offline. One such installation equipped with a beacon was the Federation Embassy on Qo'noS. Theirs was called the "Flare" (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: Book One)
- In 2267, the signal from the automated disaster beacon of the USS Constellation was barely detectable by the USS Enterprise as the Enterprise attempted to find the Constellation. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine" ) The distress beacon of the Promellian battle cruiser Cleponji continued to transmit for at least a millennium after its crew had perished while their ship been held by aceton assimilators, until it was silenced at long last after being discovered by the USS Enterprise-D in 2366. (TNG: "Booby Trap" )

(TNG: "Booby Trap" ) While being held in a tractor beam by a Hirogen warship in 2374, Tuvok sent out a distress beacon from aboard the shuttlecraft Cochrane II. (VOY: "Hunters") After crash landing on a Class D planet in 2375, Tuvok re-calibrated his shuttle's distress beacon. The beacon was later used as the center of a two-meter radius where a transporter beam from the USS Voyager transported Tuvok, Tom Paris and Noss back to the ship. (VOY: "Gravity")
