Main Bridge - Deck 1
Overview of Main Bridge
The Main Bridge on USS Iliad is on Deck 1 at the top of the primary hull. With the exception of the Chief Engineer and the Chief Medical Officer, all main crew members are based on the bridge. For further information on the responsibilities for each station, click here.
The Main Bridge is directly responsible for the supervision of all primary mission functions and is the nerve centre of the ship.
The Captain's Chair is situate in the middle and can be seen in the picture to the right. To the left of the Captain's chair is the chair of the First Officer. In the foreground are the helm and ops positions.
Directly behind the three chairs is the tactical station which is clearly in view in the picture to the left. The Iliad's tactical officer is Lieutenant Commander Martin O'Shea. Directly behind Tactical and to the rear of the main bridge are the science stations which are also clearly seen from the picture and also, immediately to the right of the turbo lift, is the bridge engineering station.
As one would expect, to the front of the bridge is the main view screen. The picture to the left shows the view screen with one of the two exits. The one visible next to the view screen is a turbo lift leading to other areas of the ship whilst obscured further to the left is the door to the Captains Ready Room. There is also a further turbo lift to the right of the conn position.
Access to Main Bridge
By necessity, the bridge has easy access to and from all areas. There are three doors on each side, on the right hand side, from top right moving down is the main turbulent, a door to the Captain's Ready Room and finally adjacent to the view screen is another turbo lift. On the other side, again from top moving downwards is a door into a corridor leading (amongst other places) to the Main Observation Lounge, a door to a bathroom and finally adjacent to the ops console a turbo lift to the Battle Bridge.
