Autodestruct

Autodestruct (CODE)

System designed to scuttle a ship upon the authorization of senior officers. In 2285, Admiral Kirk used the autodestruct system to prevent the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from falling into Klingon hands, taking most of the crew of a Bird of Prey with it in the process.[1] Captain Jean-Luc Picard used the autodestruct system on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D on several occasions, disabling it prior to detonation each time; notably, when the ship was captured by Bynars in 2364.[2]
