The bridge looks out across the dorsal bow of the ship, a long narrow space ending with the forward viewscreen panels. A central path leads between the command workstations, overseen from a single command console. Port and aft are fire control and the tactical displays, while tandem and facing forward are the stations for the ship's pilot and navigator. The side walls are a continual tiered bank of controls and monitors, each wrapping about the individual battle or flight station. The floor is metal panels set with a diamond grid, with light washing up from behind the equipment, white whele crusing, crimson when at general quarters.
