Physical Arrangement

Bridge

Primary operational control for Galaxy-class starships is provided by the Main Bridge located at the top of the primary hull. It is located on Deck 1. The Main Bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordinates all departmental activities.

The current layout for the Main Bridge of the USS Venture is as follows: in the center is Command Area with three common seats for the Captain, the Executive Officer to their right, and the Counselor to their left. Further out from these are two more seats that can be used by VIP or other non-stationed personnel.

At the front of the bridge is the Conn, starboard, and Operations, port, stations. Conn is the combination of Helm and Navigation, and Operations controls and monitors most vital ship functions. Operations is commonly in control of sensors aboard Galaxy-class starships. Behind the Command area is the Tactical Arch. Here is the primary and two Auxiliary Tactical stations. All tactical and security functions can be controlled and monitored from this point.

To the starboard and port of the Command Area are two stations: science to starboard, and engineering to port. From these two stations all of the ships engineering and science operations can be controlled. The Chief Engineer will typically be found in Main Engineering, and the Chief Science Officer is more typically a management and authority one, meant to control all the sub-departments which do their work in the various labs on board the ship. However, if need be, the Chief Engineer and Chief Science Officer can coordinate their departments from the bridge. There are three turbolifts leading off the bridge; one is an emergency turbolift that leads directly to the Battle Bridge. There are also three rooms adjacent to the Bridge. The Captain's Ready Room is on the fore port of the Bridge. The Conference Room and Bridge Head is aft starboard.
