An '''Auto-destruct''', also known as a '''self-destruct''', is a system which will destroy something if certain conditions are met, such as a timer reaching zero.

==Overview==
The auto-destruct at [[Stargate Command]] is capable of vaporizing the entire facility. {{Cite|SG1|The Enemy Within}} A [[Tel'tak]] can be equipped with an auto destruct system. {{Cite|SG1|Deadman's Switch}} [[O'Neill-class spaceship]]s have auto-destruct systems. {{Cite|SG1|Small Victories}} [[Martin's Escape pod]] had an auto-destruct installed. {{Cite|SG1|Point of No Return}} [[Dart]]s have a self destruct system. {{Cite|ATL|Duet}}

==History==
[[Stargate Command]] used an auto-destruct when the [[Goa'uld]] would attack the [[Stargate]] in the event that the [[Iris]] failed and the base was compromised. {{Cite|SG1|The Enemy Within}} When [[Major General]] [[George Hammond]] initiated the [[Wildfire directive]] to lockdown the SGC, a containment failure was detected and the auto-destruct was automatically activated. They were unable to deactivate it because an [[Organism (Message in a Bottle)|organism]] from an [[Orb]] had infected the computers, when the organisms returned to the orb the auto-destruct was disabled. {{Cite|SG1|Message in a Bottle}} The SGC destruct system was planned to be used to destroy the Stargate when it had dialed into a [[P3W-451|planet]] being sucked into a [[Black hole]], but an alternative was devised. {{Cite|SG1|A Matter of Time}} [[Alien (Foothold)|Aliens]] that infiltrated the SGC were linked to their [[Alien Leader|leader]] and when they activated an auto-destruct it destroyed all those near them as well. {{Cite|SG1|Foothold}}

The auto-destruct system on the [[O'Neill]] was used to destroy the ship and the [[Replicator]]-controlled ships following it through [[Subspace|hyperspace]]. {{Cite|SG1|Small Victories}} The [[Altairan|synthetic]] [[Samantha Carter (synthetic)|Samantha Carter]] added a tampering mechanism to the [[Altairan Power pack]] that would activate an auto-destruct. She told the Goa'uld [[Ja'din]] how to access the power pack and caused the auto-destruct to kill Ja'din. {{Cite|SG1|Double Jeopardy}} When the [[Replicator]]s took over [[Apophis' Mothership]], he had the auto-destruct activated and the Replicators were unable to shut it down before it detonated. {{Cite|SG1|Enemies}} When [[Thor|Thor's]] consciousness took control of [[Osiris' Ha'tak]], [[Anubis]] set the auto destruct but Thor stopped it. It restarted after Thor's consciousness was removed. {{Cite|SG1|Descent}} [[Colonel]] [[Riley]] activated the [[Alpha Site 2|Alpha Site's]] auto-destruct when Anubis forces attacked and disabled the Stargate. {{Cite|SG1|Death Knell}}

The [[Naquadah generator]]s on [[Atlantis]] had a program to overload them and destroy the city should it become compromised. {{Cite|ATL|Hide and Seek|Suspicion}} A [[Dart]] destroyed itself with a self-destruct after it scanned Atlantis and sent a signal to nearby [[Hive ship]]s. {{Cite|ATL|The Brotherhood}} The [[Captain (Aurora)|Captain]] of the [[Aurora]] gave [[John Sheppard]] the codes to the self destruct to destroy the ship and incoming [[Cruiser]]s. {{Cite|ATL|Aurora}} The [[R75]] bugs caused the [[Gamma Site|Gamma Site's]] auto-destruct to activate, destroying the base. {{Cite|SG1|The Scourge}} A [[Wraith Queen (Submersion)|Wraith Queen]] who's [[Cruiser]] had crashed into the ocean of [[Lantea]] during the [[Lantean-Wraith War]] activated the ships auto-destruct when she sensed nearby humans. {{Cite|ATL|Submersion}}

[[Michael Kenmore]] had an auto-destruct in his facility on [[M2S-445]] which caused the building to collapse when activated. {{Cite|ATL|The Last Man}}
