Termination order

The order to destroy an entire species, sun, planet, moon and etc.

 This order must be authorized to be given by the Assembly, given by one of the Navy's highest Admirals (Admiral Stahl when he leads the Navy into combat) and verified by codes from Central Command. If any of these conditions are not met, the ship’s computronic AI will refuse to fire. The AI is prevented from firing by failsafe built into the launch systems. Any refusal or unauthorized attempt to fire also automatically initiates an investigation into the circumstances of the event.
