Commandocentrum/bevelgebied

Directly in front of the command area, the flight controller, or conn, is situated in a slightly lowered area, accessed by three steps. This ensures that the conn officer does not block the line of sight of the captain and first officer. On Intrepid-class starships, ocnn is a single station, arranged in a circular arc; the conn officer, Lt. Tom Paris is responsible for both helm and navigation. A movable chair behind the console allows Paris to slide easily from one end of the long station to the other.

Tactical station

De perimeter stations

Next to the engineering station is a red alert flasher on the wall, followed by the door to the captain's ready room. Continuing clockwise, one comes to the tactical station, a self contained area in which a chair is contained behind a low desk unit, the top of which is covered with consoles, as is the wall behind. The chair, sandwiched between the wall and the desk, can face in either direction, giving a clear line of sight to the viewscreen when necessary.

Moving on from tactical, one climbs three small steps to come to the raised area behind the command chairs. Just to the left of tactical, at the top of the steps, is the door to the turbolift. This gives access between the bridge and the rest of the ship.

Along the entire back wall of the bridge, behind the command area, are a number of consoles, schematics and display screens, split into three distinct areas. The middle area of the three is taken up by a large schematic of the ship, and is also the bridge's secondary engineering station. The schematic is flanked by two mission ops consoles, instruments, and readouts. There are no chairs at these consoles, and duty officers working here are required to stand.

From the center of the schematic, the left hand side of the bridge is virtually a mirror image of the right. The layout is identical, but the function of some of the stations varies. Across the room from tactical is the ops station, which again is self contained and has its own chair. On Voyager, this station is usually manned by Ensign Harry Kim. From ops, the steps move down again to the lower front level of the bridge, leading to the door to the briefing room, where the command crew meets for important discussions and to make decisions. On the wall next to this door is another Red Alert flasher, and, finally a science station. This science station is not always manned and is primarily used when ops needs the support of supplementary sensor readings or library research. Following the entire perimeter of the bridge, this brings one back to the main viewscreen

The Briefing Room is where Captain Kathryn Janeway gathers her senior crew to discuss about ship's missions, important matters, and any other issues needing to be discussed. It is a place where the captain can give out orders to her senior crew to give out to their people in their department. The Briefing Room is also used to inform the crew of any new information that has come in during a mission. Meetings held here are also not just to give out orders or give out new information by the captain but to also get some feedback on the current mission from each department and to report anything that has not been reported to the captain yet. Here the captain and the senior crew gather knowledge. Usually the duration of these meetings in the Briefing Room aren't long.

The Briefing Room on the Intrepid-class, USS Voyager NCC-74656, is on Deck one on the left of the bridge. Nearest to the commander's chair is the entrance door to the Briefing Room. Since it is next to the Bridge, it is quite convenient for the captain to call the senior crew for a brief meeting if it was necessary to rethink matters and to discuss about taking another approach if a current plan is not working.

Its main feature is the elliptical-like table and often around the table is about seven chairs surrounding it where the senior members of the crew attend the meetings. At the head of the table is where Captain Kathryn Janeway sits. Behind her is a large arched window with the view of zooming stars passing as the ship travels through space. Either side of the arched windows are silver designs on the walls. The door from the Briefing Room leading to the Bridge is on the left of the captain's seat. There is also an exit out of the Briefing Room on the opposite. Facing the Briefing Room's exit is a wall display console. Information here, for example, maps, transmission can be displayed on this screen.
