The bridge of the Orville under red alert.

Aboard Union Fleet vessels and outposts, a series of color-coded alert signals are issued. Examples of alerts are the yellow alert and the more severe red alert which is issued when a vessel is in immediate peril, typically during ship-to-ship engagements. Such alerts are indicated by colored lighting, most notably within the bridge, from were alerts are issued via the Second Officer's tactical console. An alarm tone also typically sounded upon the initiation of such an alert. Tactical alert was also utilized.

Yellow alert

Acting Captain Kelly Grayson had Second Officer Bortus put the Orville on yellow alert when a Moclan Battlecruiser joined the Union vessel in orbit of the Sanctuary planet.

Red alert

During the Battle of Epsilon 2, the Orville, commanded by Acting Captain Bortus, is placed on red alert while engaging a Krill destroyer.

Union Fleet vessels, including the Orville and the USS Spruance are placed on red alert as they participate in the Battle of Earth against the Kaylon.

When shuttle 1 is caught in the tractor beam of a Moclan Battlecruiser in orbit of the Sanctuary planet, Acting Captain Talla Keyali puts the Orville on red alert and orders Isaac to take out the Moclans' emitters, commencing the Battle of the Sanctuary.

In 2422, prior to the Battle of Xelaya, the Orville was placed on red alert and Captain Ed Mercer also ordered general quarters and battle stations.

Tactical alert

In 2422, when the Orville approached Kaylon 1 to demand a ceasefire of the Kaylons lest they use their new quantum weapon, Captain Ed Mercer ordered the vessel to tactical alert. This utilized the same lighting as red alert.
