But really. Someone is stealing a 190,000 metric tons phazors and torpedoes equipped heavy cruiser, that's a yellow A. What could be worse in their protocol?
What would it take to declare RED ALERT on Spacedock?

- Start date
someone shooting their way out, or in for that matter.
In TVH, Cartwright declared a Starfleet red alert, which presumably would have included the disabled Spacedock as well. So, canonically we know that, if Earth itself is in jeopardy, then that's at least if not more than enough cause to trigger a Spacedock red alert.
A bunch of ships in fleet formation mode controlled by borgified crewmembers shooting at it probably triggered Red Alert. I'd hope, anyway. It was tanking with shields, so I'd assume a Red Alert was underway.
I could see the station and every other ship near it being on full blast red alert. As I recall, there were a lot of big flashing lights on that one shot inside the Spacedock control room.
On Excelsior? I bet 100% that horse's &@% Stiles told his crew something like no red alerts unless he personally deigns one to exist. Hence all that tight-leashed XO could do was declare a yellow alert and gaze at those pretty speeds on the transwarp graph until Mr Swagger Stick swaggers in.
If you were filing your immaculately maintained nails and split one.
At that point, you wouldn't even need a red alert -- I think everyone would know the shit has hit the fan.

Something about a beloved pet Beagle going missing from the transporter room...
Omg have you found him yet? I'm still looking! Poor Porthos...
I will never trust a scotsman to beam me or anyone I care about ever again!!!
Do you think the alarms still go off if there's a Starfleet red alert. Some little starship out in the middle of deep space with no way to possibly help Earth can't turn their sirens off.
Oh, I think they can turn their sirens off. They get the notification, though. It's Starfleet-wide.
I can imagine different klaxons.
In TAS they modified the Red Alert sound.
One ended in a screech—that I would use to get all ships out of Spacedock if it were de-orbiting—the one that ended in a duller tone is signifying it now empty.
There was another type klaxon I think was first used in “Devil in the Dark” used only for bases perhaps-though TAS used it as well.
You need different alert sounds…one could be “sound collision” for instance.
During the 2011 “Tornado Emergency” in Birmingham, I heard the siren being pulsed, as if by hand—instead of letting it naturally cycle in Tornado Warnings.
