Computer Interface (TNG-178)

Method of interacting with a computer system. The computers aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 utilized tactile buttons and knobs, as well as motion-sensitive displays and consoles.[1] By the 24th century, touch-sensitive display panels had largely replaced the tactile interfaces,[2] though there were also some uses for holographic interfaces.[3]

Enterprise NCC-1701 unexpectedly ran backwards while escaping the destruction of the planet Psi 2000, an initial indication that the ship was actually traveling backward through time.[1] In 2151, Jonathan Archer was presented with the gift of a clock by Prah Mantoos.[2]

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]
