Command Deck

Command Deck

Central location on all Union spaceships (civilian and military) In the Union Spatial Navy it is a specific very secure deck (sometimes referred to as Deck One) Command decks in capital units are usually in the center of the ship. Smaller ships such as Frigates, Destroyers, Corvettes etc have it at the top of the ship. Command Deck usually includes: Bridge, Command and Control, Captain's Office (Ready room), XO's office, Senior staff meeting room, Captain's quarters, XO quarters. Bigger ships might include quarters for the entire senior staff, hygiene facilities,senior officer's lounge, senior officer's mess. In all Union fleet ships, the command deck can be isolated from the rest of the ship. It is the most secure and protected area of the ship. Access to the Command deck is only granted to those who have business there. Bridge personnel outside their shift have no access authority. Who and who has no access to the bridge is different from ship to ship and from captain to captain. Most ships have an auxiliary command deck and an auxiliary bridge.

Note:(While not against regulations, it is highly irregular. The entire crew of the USS Tigershark has unlimited access.)
