USS Atlantis
- "Ad iter te audacter committe."
- —Abandon yourself boldly to the journey. - Ship's Dedication Quote
USS Atlantis is one of the newest Sovereign Class starships constructed for Starfleet and assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 47 under the command of Captain Tikva Theodoras. A product of the Beta Antares Shipyard, she features the latest in technological innovations and systems that have been incorporated into the modern design of ships of her class. With Task Force 47's remit of exploration in the Thomar Expanse, she is well suited to provide tactical support for elements of the task force when required.
Design and Layout
While a modern built starship, the latest iteration of the Atlantis maintains design elements and aesthetics of the overall design generation. Her modern functionality exists just under a veneer of twenty-year-old design sensibilities, giving the class a built-in classic feel.
Her primary bridge has taken lessons learned from the original Sovereign Class starships and made valuable improvements to remedy early teething issues with workspace and workflow design. In a throwback to another prior generation, the arch behind the command seats replaces separate free-floating consoles to the rear and either side of the center seats that had been first introduced on the early ships of the class. This removal of obstacles and centralisation of the primary Tactical station opened up the bridge, giving it an easier flow and roomier feel.
With further enhancements to key systems and movement of components elsewhere within the bridge module, space to the rear of the bridge has been made available to dedicate the volume to an expanded missions operations area. This multi-function space can be repurposed for any given task or situation, allowing for enhanced responsiveness and collaboration between on-duty department heads and command staff.
Normally this space remains configured for systems oversight and damage control, with the primary monitor defaulting to a Multifunction System Display, but as with all large monitors aboard ship, can be quickly reconfigured for a variety of tasks. It would not be uncommon during long transits for this space to be repurposed for survey work or control of the ship while the bridge itself might be used for simulation training of junior officers. Flight operations, crisis management, scientific research and many other pursuits can and will find themselves here at some point.
The Captain's Mess
Compartment Deck Five Forward was by original design set aside as the captain's mess aboard Atlantis. Within quick succession, the compartment and two smaller adjacent ones were redesigned to give the senior officers of the ship a relaxed social space that wasn't the ship's main lounge. Never a terribly populated locale, as interaction with the crew as a whole is encouraged, it does serve as a nice retreat whenever needed.
While typically the purview of the senior staff, department heads and their assistants, from time to time junior officers and crew members are invited to The Captain's Mess as an informal recognition, extended by either the captain or their department head. This would coincide with the presence of whoever extended the invitation, so turning down a chance to sit with the captain for drinks in a lounge with restricted access is not an invitation lightly turned down.
