The Omega Protocol...
The Omega Protocol deals directly with the Omega Directive (denoted by Ω), a highly classified Starfleet General Order, requiring the Captain of a Starship, or Commander of an Away Mission to notify Starfleet Command immediately upon detection of an Omega Molecule.
The Directive also Authorized the use of any and all means to Destroy an Omega Molecule, superseding all other Regulations - even the Prime Directive is considred null and void. The Omega Directive was deemed necessary because of the extreme power, and consequently catastrophic threat to interstellar Civilizations posed by even a single Molecule. Knowledge of the Omega Molecule and the Omega Directive was Restricted to Starship Captains and Away Mission Commanding Officers. Captains received Training on how to deal with the issue.
