Battlestar Situation Room (credit: Sci-Fi Channel)

The Situation Room is a tactical planning and strike operations centre, located close to a battlestar's CIC (The Hand of God).

The Situation Room has two functions:

  • Monitoring and controlling large-scale operations which cannot be fully monitored or controlled from the CIC without interfering with shipboard operations
  • Providing a dedicated planning and briefing centre for the development of and execution of special operations under the control of a battlestar.

The Situation Room comprises a large electronic map table that can be configured for a variety of uses, supported by a number of information-relay consoles (e.g. monitoring communications). The walls of the Situation Room can be used to project images to assist in the planning of strike or other missions.

Around a dozen personnel staff the Situation Room during an operation, in addition to any command staff that may be in attendance.
