Additional Information
| Location | Level 8 | |
| Description | Command and Control, sometimes referred to as the Operations Center, is domed; forward is considered the main viewer and rear is the Captain's Ready Room and exit. Layout: Command Area: Circular station located at the center of the room with seating for command staff when they are present. Has access to status and other station information. There is also an auxiliary internal communications control here. Front Area: Stations: > Flight Control Officer > Chief of Operations > Sector Control (monitors ships within a 20-light year radius) > Space Dock Control (monitors ships within the bays) Primary Station Status Control, a large transparent schematic, is positioned between these stations and the command area. It is low enough to allow an unobstructed view between the command area and the main viewer. It quickly displays the station's status, much like a master systems display screen would on starship bridges; there are control panels at the bottom of this large screen. Left Side: >Tactical and Security Stations: These two stations have control over two areas separately and one area, the docking bay, jointly. Both Tactical and Security have the responsibility to protect the station as well as those ships currently docked at the station. Security protects the station from internal threats while Tactical handles external threats. Included with these stations is a read out on all reported civilian issues. Right Side: > Engineering Station: The Engineering station uses many of the auxiliary stations next to the Operations station, such as Space Dock Control, to check up on the ships in the docking bay being repaired, refueled, or resupplied by the station's Engineering department. Note that the Chief Engineer generally remains in Engineering. > Science Station: Not generally manned. Between the two stations is the Environmental Control and Library Computer access [a dedicated station specifically used for research of the station's library files]. Additional Stations: Other stations scattered throughout Operations are Communications Control, Cargo Control, and Shuttle Control. Turbolifts There are five turbolifts leading out of Operations; one is an emergency turbolift that leads directly to the secondary command center, two lead to separate areas of the docking bay, and two others lead to areas around the rest of the station. Rear of Operations Center: > Additional seating for Senior Staff > Bridge Head > Conference Room > Captain's Ready Room |
