Fuji-class Bridge

The Fuji-class bridge contains eight duty stations and boasts a multi-level deck layout. It is the command center of some Star Army of Yamatai vessels, having been designed for the Fuji-class Expeditionary Gunship in YE 39. It is the hub of Star Army Starship Operator and the captain's natural place within the ship.

On the center of the ceiling and on the light blue carpeted floor of the Fuji-class bridge is the Star Army Hinomaru. This bridge was created for eight bridge officers to sit and work comfortably. It has deep blue walls and volumetric screens on every wall that highlight every angle of a battle that can be seen or simply what the captain chooses for the bridge crew to see. There are two entrances to the bridge, located on the port and starboard sides of the center deck at the mid-section, which also have emergency passages on either side which house escape pods. On the top level, there is an entrance to the captain's suite. On all levels there are places on the walls where there are storage lockers, primarily for Star Army Environmental Suit, Type 28 (AMES).

Stations on the Fuji-class bridge have:

• SPINE connections
• Sound-Powered Telephones for emergency communications
• Traditional interface and manual controls for non-Nekovalkyrja crew members
• Batteries for backup power
• Removable panels for repairs
• A cup holder
• Starship Chair, Type 35

This bridge has three levels which are described below. Level 1 is elevated above Level 2, which in turn is elevated above Level 3. Four two-step staircases, located symmetrically on Level 2, both fore and aft, allow for easy movement between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The steps between Level 1 and Level 2 protrude from the edge of Level 1 while the steps between Level 2 and Level 3 are cut out from Level 2's deck.
