Ship alerts are used to command Colonial Battlestar crews to prepare for battle.
Condition Two: This alert warns the crews of possible internal conflict, such as an intruder, boarding, or system malfunction that may interfere with ship operations or safety. The ship's marines are readied in the event of boarding. Bulkheads may be closed to prevent intruder movement.
Condition One: This alert places the ship at its highest state of readiness. Bulkhead doors are closed in case of decompression. Vipers are scrambled and flight crews man their stations. The CIC is locked down and the ship's Commander is on station.
Note[edit]
Condition One and Two are similar to the famous "Red Alert" and "Yellow Alert" used throughout the Star Trek television series.
