Command chamber: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:43, 18 May 2025

The command chamber is a basestar's command and control center, or bridge.

Also referred to as the command center, it is the analogue to a battlestar's Core Command, of which two variants exist.

One variant contains two consoles manned by seated Centurions and contains a throne chair, similar in design to the one in the Imperious Leader's throne room. Notably, a spotlight in front of the chair lights up to illuminate the subject's face upon being seated ^{(TOS: "The Young Lords")}.

A second variant is ordered with consoles arrayed in a circle, its operators facing the the Command Centurion in the center of the circle, who itself has a control pedestal ^{(TOS: "The Hand of God")}.

Both variants contain a single hallway, which is lined with computers ^{(TOS: "The Young Lords", "The Hand of God")}.
