The Martian navy's standing order for a warship about to be taken.

Condition Zero is the standing order aboard Martian Congressional Republic Navy warships for the moment a ship is about to be taken. When boarders come aboard, marines hold three places: the bridge, the command information center and engineering. If any one of the three is breached, the crews in the other two flip the switch and blow the reactor. A flagship's command information center is the prize in any boarding action, since it holds the codes, the deployments and the computer cores, and Condition Zero exists so that none of it can be carried off.
