Self-destruct

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Name :	Self-destruct [1]

A self-destruct system has been built into Starships from the earliest days of space travel. It can be used to prevent such powerful ships falling into the wrong hands. The sequence required three ships officers into order to initiate the countdown. The count down is used to allow the crew time to evacuate the ship. [1]

Captain Kirk used the self-destruct system on board the USS Enterprise, which had been previously badly damaged in an encounter with Khan. When the ship subsequently came under attack from a Klingon Bird of Prey and was disabled. [1]
