			Hewing to its pre-networked [[First Cylon War]] origins, ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s War Room is heavily crewed due to its hands-on acquisition and use of data vis-a-vis "foot networking" and other person-to-person communications that eschew all but the most basic computerized methods.

			The predominant centerpiece is the plotting table, a large light table that can be configured for a variety of uses, supported by a number of information-relay consoles (e.g. monitoring communications). Translite maps are laid upon the table, having been printed from available data from the ship's stores, including newer data acquired via astronomic surveys and [[Raptor]] reconnaissance missions.

			Atop the center table are models used to visually depict phases of missions with assets rendered as models, such as [[Viper (RDM)\|Vipers]], Raptors, and ''Galactica'' itself. These models may hand-written name tags to identify [[Callsign\|callsigns]] or other unique identification terms, as needed, and are moved or removed by crew members acting as plotters with forked plotting rods. The models themselves are made as needed, likely hand-constructed by crew, as they are facsimiles of new ships [[The Fleet (RDM)\|the Fleet]] encounters or ships within the Fleet itself, e.g. the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|Fall-era]] [[Raider (RDM)\|Raider]] and various civilian ships {{TRS\|The Hand of God}}; and later, the Fall-era [[Basestar (TRS)\|Basestar]], [[Resurrection Ship]], and ''[[Pegasus (TRS)\|Pegasus]]'' {{TRS\|Resurrection Ship}},

			One wall of the War Room features light boxes where smaller translites are used to mount maps, gun camera photos, and other visual aids assist in mission planning and review. A chalkboard on another wall is used to track pilot and ship rosters for missions.
