Editing Trek:USS Scorpio (section)

== Command and Operations ==

The main bridge occupies Deck 1, together with the captain’s ready room, a six-place briefing room, bridge systems, and command access. Its principal stations support helm, operations, command, tactical, science, and engineering. The room is designed for a compact working watch rather than the broad ceremonial space found aboard a flagship.

Deck 2 contains the primary computer core and secure data archive, the captain’s and executive officer’s offices, the wardroom, auxiliary control, and the senior officers’ cabins. The close placement of these spaces reflects the way the ship operates: command, analysis, and emergency control are kept within a short distance of one another.

The [[Trek:Crew|senior staff]] combines Starfleet officers, experienced enlisted specialists, and Commander Q’arl’s Klingon perspective. Captain Riordan is a scientist as well as a commanding officer, but the bridge is not governed by science alone. First contact, tactical danger, crew safety, engineering limits, and the captain’s responsibility to make a decision all meet there.
