Traditional Small Starship Bridge

The traditional bridge was tailored to meet the needs of most Star Army of Yamatai ships in a single, familiar module. Based on earlier, successful layouts, the bridge serves as a control center for new ships large and small.

In the ships of the Star Army of Yamatai, the bridge includes a number of stations centered around the commanding officer. Each station is dedicated to a specific aspect of the functions of both the ship's operation, and the crew's mission.

Stations include:

• Sensors to the front left
• Weapons Systems to the front right
• Mission Operations (usually used for coordinating power armors) to the left rear
• Combined Field System (shielding, propulsion) to the right rear
• Pilot’s Pit (Helm), a recessed area near the front of the bridge
• Engineering (often used for damage control) at the rear
• Captain's chair/Command in the center

Each station include several control panels, a telephone, a desk area with cupholder, and an adjustable chair with a harness system (in case of bumpy rides). Chairs are made from comfortable foam padding and covered with soft yet durable polyester. Volumetric display systems project smaller floating windows as needed.

Starship bridges are restricted areas; only authorized personnel are allowed to enter.
