When the usage of Transporter is not advised due to adverse conditions or Captain's discretion a Starship can complete a planetary landing and then take off process. While perfectly safe this process is considered an emergency situation and is only instituted when the usage of shuttles or the transporter is not available.
Controlled
Landing
| Step One | |
|---|---|
| Engineering will disengage the Warp Drive and vent all plasma from the nacelles. All available power is transferred to the RCS thrusters. |
 |
| Step Two | |
| Blue Alert is called throughout the ship. All personnel will report to their stations and nonessential personnel will report to their designated emergency shelter. Landing struts are brought online. Inertial Dampeners and Structural Integrity are set to maximum output. |
 |
| Step Three | |
| Landing is initiated by the Flight Control Officer. The vessel enters into a declining glide trajectory with minor course corrections as needed. The Science Officer will monitor EM discharge while Ops monitors the Inertial Dampeners. |
 |
| Step Four | |
| Landing gear is deployed. Structural integrity is set to match the gravity of the planet. Once landing has completed engine exhaust is secured and personnel may disembark. |
 |
Takeoff
| Step One | |
|---|---|
| Blue Alert is called throughout the ship. All personnel will report to their stations and nonessential personnel will report to their designated emergency shelter. |
|
| Step Two | |
| Inertial Dampeners are returned to flight configuration. Thrusters are brought online. The Impulse Drive is set to standby. |
 |
| Step Three | |
| Takeoff is initiated by the Flight Control Officer. The vessel enters into a ascending glide trajectory with minor course corrections as needed. Landing gear is retracted. The Science Officer will monitor EM discharge while Ops monitors the Inertial Dampeners. |
 |
| Step Four | |
| Once in orbit Impulse engines are activated and the Warp Drive is brought back online to full power. |
 |
Emergency
Landing
| Step One | |
|---|---|
| During emergency descent Impulse Engines and RCS Thrusters will fire to decelerate the vessel. All systems unrelated to survival are taken offline with energy rerouted to Shields, Inertial Dampeners, and Structural Integrity. Science Officers will begin scanning for a potential landing site. Red Alert is called throughout the ship. All nonessential personnel will report to their designated emergency shelter. |
 |
| Step Two | |
| The Flight Control Officer will attempt to level out the vessel's course and manage the speed of descent. Science Officers will attempt to scan the potential landing site and Flight Control will align the vessel as possible. |
 |
| Step Three | |
| The Flight Control Officer initiates final approach. The Warp Drive is deactivated and all power is transferred to Structural Integrity. The Operations Manager sets the Inertial Dampeners to full power. Collision alert is sounded throughout the vessel. |
 |
| Step Four | |
| The vessel makes contact and will slide to a stop. Crew will take shelter as best they can until rescue can arrive. If necessary personnel can disembark in order to find resources. |
