A Deck is comprised of the Main Bridge and the V.I.P. Docking Bay (Docking Port One). The Main Bridge is the nexus for all command/control and communications activities of the ship. It is situated at the head of the computer core. Within its superstructure are the forward and and lateral navigational sensor arrays, the upper navigational sensory array, and two emergency battery banks (cold fusion).
B Deck has the ship's executive block. Briefing Room One, the Captain's Ready Room, and the Executive Officer's Office are all located forward of the two turbolift stations. There is no deck aft of the turbolifts, as this is the Officer's Lounge high-bay.
Most of C Deck is the Officer's Dining Mess, a three-quarter ring surrounding the manual kitchen used by hobbyists and gourmet chefs to prepare food items differing or unavailable from the food fabricator. The remainder of C Deck is the two deck high Officer's Lounge Complex, which is comprised of the Observation Lounge and the Wardrooms.
Two labs comprise the inner section of D Deck. Eight single Senior Officer's Quarters surround these in a ring. Quarters consist of a sleeping room (1 bed) and a living room, separatedby a sliding transparent aluminum partition. A private refresher room adjoins each sleeping room, a head (toilet/bidet), sink/counter, jacuzzi tub, sonic shower and living rooms. Outboard of the quarters are the three pair of phaser units, plus the life-support systems for Decks A-D, plus four emergency battery banks.
Forty single Officer's Quarters comprise most of E Deck, surrounding the main computer's memory banks and two Officer Messes. Quarters consist of a sleeping room (1 bed) with a closet behind it. A private refresher room adjoins each sleeping room, a head (toilet/bidet), sink/counter, jacuzzi tub, sonic shower and laundry unit. Outboard of the quarters (extending to the rim of the Primary Hull) is a low head-clearance area, reducing from 2.0 to 0.5 metres clearance. This low clearance area holds the life support systems for Decks E-G, as well as twenty-four emergency battery banks. The outermost portion of the low clearance area is taken up by the network of airducts, plumbing lines, fibre-optic cables, and power conduits servicing these three decks.
Most of F Deck is taken up by 163 Enlisted Quarters, berthing 326 personnel. Quarters consist of a sleeping room (2 vertical bunks) and a closet, adjoining a refresher room shared by another quarters. Thus four enlisted personnel share each refresher, whcih includes two heads (in privacy cubicles), sonic shower, sink/counter, and laundry unit. Four General Utility Rooms and three Damage Control Lockers are mixed in with the quarters. The center section is comprised of eight water tanks, plus their pressurization system, which feeds the upstream plumbing network. Also situated on this deck are most of the social compartments, including six Observation Messes, the upper Observation Gallery and high-bay of the Rec-Deck Complex, and the Bowling Alley/Firing Range. The Forward Observation Lounge is located 180 degrees around from the Rec-Deck, and is utilized for formal social gatherings, diplomatic receptions, and as the ship's Chapel. The upper-bay of Impulse Engineering (and the fusion reactor [which can be connected to the intermix shaft via an energy conduit, and can provide power for both the ship's internal systems and the impulse drive] and deuterium tank) is located at the rear of F Deck, and four reaction control thruster packages (and their hydrogen tanks) are located at the semi-cardinal points. Six force-field generators provide defense for the Primary Hull.
G Deck has only half the living space of F Deck, due to the toroidal concavity on the lower surface of the Primary Hull. The full clearance area is divided into a central circular section and an outer ring section. The inner ring has sixteen Junior Officer Quarters (identical to Enlisted Quarters). It also has five six-person Personnel Transporter Rooms, four labs, the Sickbay Complex, the Security Complex (which includes an Assault Transporter Room), and the Command Intelligence Centre, which includes the Auxiliary Bridge, Computer Archival Memory Unit, and independant life support system. The outer ring has six Junior Officer's Quarters and forty Enlisted Quarters, as well as the lower half of the Rec-Deck Complex - the center of social activity aboard ship (the Rec-Deck has independant life support systems for exotic sports utilization - one result is that it can be used as an emergency shelter for the entire ship's compliment). Impulse Engineering and Environmental Engineering are located at the aft of the ring, with four reaction control thruster packages and their hydrogen tanks. The low clearance ring has four organic defabricators, which collect waste from the downstream plumbing network and recycle it. Also here are the four Primary Hull landing pads and their articulation, as well as nine General Cargo Holds, five of which can be accessed by workbees via external hatches opening out to the lower hull surface.
The center section of H Deck is taken up by the Communications Bay, which houses the four communications stations, as well as the main computer's four central processing units. To aft and outboard are four labs, to forward and outboard are the two Airlox Complexes, which include the ship's main airlocks and Docking Ports Two & Three, the Primary Hull Maintenance and Damage Control Workshops. Between and beside the Airlock Complexes are the three Phaser Control Rooms, which are adjacent to the three pair of phaser units on this deck, and have slave control of them, as well as the phaser units on D Deck. Also on this deck are the two twenty-two person Evacuation Transporters, plus eight emergency battery banks and the life support systems for Decks H-J. The dorsal section of this deck has the four pair of explosive bolts which lock the Dorsal Pylon to the Primary Hull, and has the head of the vertical impulse drive feed conduit Engineering Core.
I Deck is the Primary Hull's General Cargo Complex, and has two Cargo Transporters and seven General Cargo Holds. Three Observation Galleries each consist of a railed catwalk overhanging four viewports.
J Deck consists of the Primary Hull Sensor Bay: two central processing units, four sensor technician stations, the inertial/sub-space navigation unit, and access to the ship's main sensor arrays. These include the lower navigation sensor array, the fire-control array, and the four science arrays.
Dorsal Decks I-K are utilized for various Engineering systems, such as life support, a force field generator to provide defense for the pylon, and emergency battery banks - all of which can be accessed via the Jeffries Tube. The vertical impulse drive feed conduit Engineering Core also runs through these decks. Dorsal Decks I and J have small Observation Lounges at their forward ends.
Dorsal Deck L houses the upper Torpedo Complex. Two Torpedo Casing and Staging Bays hold ten torpedoes each, while the warheads (and variable payload modules) are stowed in the Warhead Locker. Subsequent to being mated to a warhead/payload and fueled, torpedoes are lowered by crane through the well from the Staging Bay to the Launch Bay. Paired exhaust ducts run aft from above the launch tubes to the exhaust vent. The vertical impulse drive feed conduit Engineering Core also runs through this deck.
Also known as the Torpedo Deck, M Deck houses the Port and Starboard Torpedo Launch Bays. After a torpedo is lowered through the well (the hole in L Deck) to the conveying assembly, it is subsequently conveyed forward into the launch tube and sealed within. The vertical impulse drive feed conduit Engineering Core runs up between the two launch tubes. Two independant Launch Bays allows the ship to retain torpedo capability even if one bay is destroyed. Launch Bay A has Docking Port Four, while Launch Bay B has Docking Port Five.
The aftermost section of N Deck holds the four aft-firing maneuvering thrusters plus their four hydrogen tanks, as well as the forcefield generator providing defense for the upper Secondary Hull. The forward section holds the vertical impulse drive feed conduit Engineering Core. Between the two is the pocket hilding the O Deck sliding isolation bulkhead.
The forward section of O Deck is known as Main Engineering. Here the upper end of the vertical intermix shaft branches off into the horizontal warp drive feed conduit and the vertical impulse drive feed conduit. All warp drive functions are controlled from main Engineering. Directly adjoining this compartment is the Dilithium Chamber, which allows suited personnel direct access to the dilithium crystal array - for alignment and replacement of same during reactor shutdown. Although this chamber has a rotating airlock built into its transparent aluminum bulkhead to prevent Main Engineering contamination, it must not be accessed when the reactor is running. The horizontal warp drive feed conduit proceeds aft to amidships within its own compartment, whereupon it splits into two nacelle feed conduits and proceeds outside of the Secondary Hull to the nacelles. An isolation bulkhead stored within a pocket on N Deck can be lowered to cut off Main Engineering from the Warp Drive Conduit Compartment, should there be danger of contamination. Four forward-firing maneuvering thrusters and their four hydrogen tanks, as well as four emergency battery banks flank the horizontal warp drive feed conduit. Aft of both is a compartment holding the life support systems of the Hangar Bay. This independant system allows the Hangar to be depressurized and repressurized without placing strain on the Secondary Hull's life support systems. The two aft phaser units adjoin this compartment. Aftermost is the Flight Control Room, which is responsible for coordinating all EVA and auxiliary craft activity and flight plans. This is also the aft Phaser Control Room, and has slaved control of the twin phaser units adjoining it, as well as the four units mounted at the bottom of the Secondary Hull.
P Deck is the main Engineer's work deck. The forward section is taken up by the Thruster Control Room, which monitors all maneuvering and reaction control thrusters, and through which runs the vertical intermix shaft. Two reaction thruster packages are mounted in the forward section, as well as their hydrogen tanks. As well there are the main energizer (which draws off electrical power from the intermix shaft), and the secondary inertial/sub-space navigational unit. Farther aft are two emnergency battery banks. Outboard of these are the offices of the Engineering Department and Division Officers, as well as their Briefing Room. Farther aft are the four Engineering Workshops, a pair of Engineer's and Observation Lounges, and the Engineer's Mess. Aftermost is the Hangar high-bay, surrounded on three sides by the Obvervation and Control Gallery, which overlooks the Flight Deck below. The Flight Deck Tractor Beam is located immediately below the center of the Gallery.
Q Deck is usually referred to as the Flight Deck, although the Hangar only takes up the aftermost third. The forward section of the Deck is the Power Distribution Room, which assigns and regulates power to all internal systems, and monitors all energizers and power sources. Also in this section is the life support systems for Decks N-Q, two emergency battery banks, two Observation Lounges, and a pair of force field generators, which provide defense for the starboard and port flanks of the Secondary Hull. Amidships is the Cargo high-bay, girded by a pair of catwalks, with bridged extending inwards to the two free standing turbolifts, and outwards to Docking Ports Six and Seven. Two Damage Control Lockers also adjoin the Cargo high-bay. Aft of this is the Hangar Bay Complex. A pair of large enclosed elevators open aft onto the Flight Deck, and are large enough for any auxiliary craft. The Flight Deck itself extends aft to the Hangar doors. To each side are a pair of Parking Bays (for five Workbees each) and a pair of airlocks which open onto the exterior fantail. A forcefield curtain serves to keep the Hangar Bay pressurized even when the doors are open. This barrier can be penetrated by auxiliary craft entering or exiting the Hangar Bay.
The forward section of R Deck consists of the deflector emitter and the inorganic fabricator and defabricator. These are flanked by the port and starboard engineering sensor arrays, aft of which are the water tanks and Observation Lounges. Inboard is Environmental Engineering (to which are slaved all Secondary Hull life support systems), the auxiliary fusion reactor high-bay and the organic defabricator (which collects waste from the Secondary Hull's downstream plumbing network and recycles it). Aft of this is the Cargo mid-bay, which is encircled by a catwalk, and which holds ninety six cargo containers at this level. Opening aft of the Cargo Bay are the shuttle elevators and their drive. Opening to the rear from these elevators is Parking Bay One, which holds four Shuttlecraft and four Travel Pods.
S Deck is usually referred to as the Cargo Deck. The forward section consists of two Observation Lounges, four deuterium tanks, Fusion Reactor Control, and the second fusion reactor, which can be connected to the intermix shaft via an energy conduit, and can provide power for both the ship's internal systems and the impulse drive (in the event of Main Reactor and primary fusion reactor failure). The Secondary Hull bridge is utilized when the Secondary Hull has been separated from the Primary Hull. The midships section is the Cargo Deck - a three deck high bay which on this level holds one hundred twent eight cargo containers. Twin turboshafts run free from overhead to deck. The bay also contains two Transporter Rooms, to port and starboard. Aft of the Cargo Bay are the shuttle elevators, opening to the rear from which is Parking Bay Two. Sternmost is the main aft tractor beam, and the two recorder marker-bouy launch tubes.
The Forward section of T Deck is taken up by two reaction thruster packages, their hydrogen tanks, and the Main Reactor Control Room. The ship's botanical garden, attendant water tanks, botanical lab, and two Observation Lounges are aft of this. Still farther aft are four emergency battery banks, two six-person Personnel Transporter Rooms, and the Pool Complex, which features a sunning deck, swimming pool, and jacuzzi pool.
U Deck is also known as the Reactor Deck. The Reactor Bay holds the main matter/antimatter reactor, twenty four antimatter storage bottles, and the bottom of the vertical intermix shaft Engineering Core. Immediately forward of this is the bottom engineering sensor. Aft of the Reactor Bay is the retractable tractor beam, flanked by two bussard collectors, which gather interstellar hydrogen, process it, and refill all internal hydrogen and deuterium tanks (including their built in deuterium matter reserve tanks for the main reactor). Farther aft is the life support systen for Decks R-U, the pool low-bays, and the four pool water storage tanks, with a flash-pump (in the event of a Yellow Alert, both pools are emptied).
