| A '''panic button''' is a single-shot emergency beacon employed by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Armed Forces|Armed Forces]]. It has two settings: The 'Red' setting sent out a distress signal, informing allies that the team's mission has failed and they need immediate assistance. The 'Green' signal merely activates a homing beacon to inform UNSC forces of the location of a hidden objective.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 80''</ref>

| In [[2525]], [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] used a panic button to mark a homing beacon on [[Eridanus Secundus]]. Despite this, the [[Unified Earth Government]] was soon embroiled in the [[Human-Covenant War]], and so the asteroid base survived until [[2552]]. This particular beacon had exceptional longevity, as its signal could still be picked up by the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} twenty-seven years later.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>
