Key Location Data

Due to the unique separation capabilities of the Prometheus, the ship is split into three warp capable sections (Alpha, Beta and Gamma sections), with many important facilities duplicated for each section. As such, the deck layout for the ship can be quite complicated. Facilities marked in bold are the main facilities that will be in use during normal operating procedures, with duplicated facilities performing minor functions only during these times.

Bridge, Deck One

Modelled on the successful layout of its older, larger cousin the Sovereign-class, the bridge of the Prometheus is a radical redesign from previous bridge modules of the class, with a much altered colour scheme and a significantly different console layout across the bridge. Making the most of a variety of technological advancements, such as holoprojectors, holographic communications, in-built weapons lockers and three dimensional computer displays in places, the new Prometheus-class bridge module is one of the most advanced in the fleet. Perhaps one of its most charming features is the emblem of the United Federation of Planets emblazoned on the carpeting as a constant reminder of all the ship stands for, even when so far from home.

Bridge module, USS Prometheus.

In a move away from more recent styles, and harking back to the traditional layouts of yesteryear, the Prometheus has a single center command seat for the commanding officer. Directly head of them, down a few steps and between the commanding officer and the holographic viewscreen, two angled consoles serve as duty stations for Operations (port) and Flight Operations (starboard). Next, and facing into the heart of the bridge to allow maximum participation with the rest of the bridge crew are duty stations for science (port) and tactical operations (starboard). Directly behind the commanding officer, and in a further break from tradition, a combined duty station serves as positioning for the two most senior advisors and assistants to the ship's commander; the Strategic Operations Officer (port) and Executive Officer (starboard). Around the outside of the bridge, there are countless other additional stations. Behind the main science station on the port bulkhead, additional science and medical consoles are available for mission operations, as well as access to life support and environmental controls. Adjacent to them on the starboard bulkhead, mission operations and security stations ensure the continued safety of the ship and crew on a day to day, mission by mission basis. On the aft bulkhead, engineering is the focus. With a large, entirely interactive and customizable master systems display (MSD) and other engineering controls, the representative from engineering has full access to the ship's systems.

Around the command center, four doors provide access to and from the bridge. On the forward port bulkhead, access is available to the observation lounge, whilst the starboard door grants access to the commanding officer's private ready room (available for use by any officer in command of the ship). At the aft of the bridge, both doors provide access to turbo lifts which enable the crew to access the command center from the rest of the bridge. The starboard turbo lift grants express, overridden access to key locations such as the battle bridges, engineering, shuttlebay 1, sickbay, tactical astrometrics and transporter rooms 1 and 2.
