Bridge Alarm

When sensors on the Gigamon Space Stations forming one of the intergalatic bridges detect either unknown, ships or ships known to belong to an enemy society approaching one of the stations, a Bridge Alarm is raised.

There are many levels of Bridge Alarms, the lowest involving only the three or four Gigamon Stations closest to the approaching ships, to major alarms that can affect the entire bridge.

As part of the standard procedure, when a Bridge Alarm is raised, any Space trains going through the affected area are stopped, and the defensive forces protecting the stations are activated.
