Editing Conn

{{delete}}

Typically, the "conn" of a starship, be it a [[Battlestar]] or otherwise, is the collective name for the helm controls- yaw, pitch, and roll.

The conn may also be the actual control or command of the ship, and is used metaphorically- that is, the conn in this instance is no one station or console, but is the actual ''command'' at a given time and may be held by any officer designated by the Commanding Officer or [[OOD|Officer of the Deck]], usually in a manner such as:

"You have the conn." ([[Commander Garner]] to [[Lee Adama]], [[The Captain's Hand]])

-* Transfers of command or ship's watch haven't been consistently shown in the [[Re-imagined Series]]. One scene in "[[Final Cut]]," after a Raider engagement, shows Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] telling Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]] that he "has the deck" as both Tigh and Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] leave CIC. Despite the different terminology used, this command is consistent with Gaeta's role as Senior Officer of the Watch in seasons 1 and 2 of the series.
