Quarters are the accommodations on board starships like the U.S.S. Enterprise and vary in both size and detail.

Captain's Quarters

Enterprise Captain's QuartersLocated on Deck 5 of the Starship Enterprise, the Captain's Quarters are the largest accommodations aboard the vessel. Comprised of five compartments with several vertical windows set into the angled ceiling, the Captain's Quarters lined the edge of the Primary Hull and provided an unobstructed view of space ahead of the Enterprise. While comfortable, Captain Targaryen typically chose to sleep in his Ready Room unless his children or personal guests were aboard.

Highly customizable to the needs of the Captain, the Enterprise's Captain's Quarters contain a dining room, living area, and workspace for the captain to work in privacy. Bedrooms were located in the furthest port and starboard compartments with the captain's room featuring a queen-sized bed imported from Bolarus IX designed to massage and provide sleep-inducing harmonics to give a full night's rest with only a few hours of sleep. The guest bedroom, which was typically used by the captain's children and normally housed bunkbeds, was connected to a half-bathroom with washbasin, mirror, several drawers and a sonic shower while the captain had a full-size bathroom with a bathtub.


Executive Officer's Quarters / VIP Quarters

Enterprise First Officer's Quarters / VIP QuartersLocated on multiple decks aboard the Enterprise, the VIP Quarters of the Enterprise were designed with the comfort of diplomatic guests as their priority. Due to their importance in the hierarchy of the Enterprise's Chain of Command, the Executive Officer was assigned to a VIP Stateroom on Deck 5.

Similar to the staterooms of the Senior Staff, VIP Quarters were slightly larger cabins consisting of three compartments. Highly configurable, in their default configuration the main living space of the VIP Quarters maintained a Dining Room, centralized office with a large desk and console, and a living area close to the bedroom. Like the Captain's Quarters, the VIP Cabin's bedroom includes a queen-sized bed imported from Bolarus IX. A full bathroom is included for the comfort of the resident.

Depending on the need of the assigned user, the environmental characteristics of the cabin could be modified to meet the need of the occupant.


Family Quarters

Enterprise Family QuartersLocated on multiple decks aboard the Enterprise, Family Quarters were specialized accommodations available to crew and passengers with children, regardless of rank but depending upon availability.

Slightly smaller than the VIP Quarters aboard the vessel, Family Quarters include a large centralized compartment consisting of a combination dining room (with a wall-mounted workstation) and large living room with comfortable furniture. Two bedrooms were located on either side of the large living area with a replicator unit providing meals for the occupant and their family. A single bathroom was available to residents that was fitted with a washbasin, mirror, several drawers and a sonic shower; however, this bathroom was shared by the entire family.


Guest Quarters / Residential Quarters / Senior Staff Quarters

Enterprise Senior Officer's Quarters / Guest QuartersTypically assigned to the Senior Staff and Officers ranked Lieutenant Commander and above, Senior Officer's Quarters aboard the Enterprise are located throughout the starship. Luxurious and comfortable, these accommodations are the equivalent of the Captain's Cabin on smaller vessels and pets, including cats and dogs, were allowed aboard ship due to the long-term nature of the Enterprise's mission.

Typically located along the outer hull, these quarters are private and contain two compartments in the living area, a bedroom, and an attached bathroom. Senior Officer's Quarters typically were configured with a living area in the center of the cabin while the other compartment contained a personal computer workstation and a small dining room. Meals were provided by a Replicator terminal, but some Quarters could be fitted with a small kitchen area. The bedroom, which includes a full-sized bed, was connected to a half-bathroom while the Senior Staff has a full-size bathroom.


Officer's Quarters

Enterprise Officer's QuartersTypically assigned to Lieutenants and above, Officer's Quarters aboard the Starship Enterprise were small-unit quarters located on the interior of the vessel. While the cabins lacked windows, many Officers coveted assignment to an Officer's cabin due to the privacy provided and the option to configure the room to a person's preferences.

Officer's Quarters were broken down to two separated areas. The primary area was a relaxation area that combined a small dining area and sitting area for entertaining. The second compartment was designed as a sleeping area and featured a comfortable bed and a desk with computer terminal. A private bathroom was accessible through the bedroom area.


Junior Officer's Quarters (Communal)

Enterprise Junior Officer's Quarters (Double)Intended as shared accommodations, Junior Officers's Quarters are among the most plentiful cabins aboard the Enterprise. Commonly occupied by at least two Ensigns, in some instances as many as four people may be assigned to share a stateroom.

Decorated in traditional Federation Decor, communal Junior Officer's Quarters were located on the interior of the ship and typically lacked windows. The central area of the stateroom consisted of a living area that featured a dining room table, replicator, and sitting area with games available for socialization. Two bedrooms were provided with a computer terminal available for entertainment. Typically, a single bed was placed in the bedroom; however, some cabins have been fitted with bunk beds to provide additional accommodations. Most Junior Officer's Quarters incorporate a communal bathroom, but some require the usage of public restrooms located elsewhere on the ship.


Junior Officer's Quarters (Single) / Senior Enlisted Quarters (Single)

Enterprise Junior Officer's Quarters (Single)Often assigned as private quarters to some Lieutenant (Junior Grade)'s and senior noncommissioned officers, single occupant Junior Officer's Quarters are among the smallest and most numerous rooms aboard the Starship Enterprise.

Comprised of a single room, the Junior Officer's Quarters as configured were spartan rooms yet were surprisingly comfortable for their occupants. Each room was fitted with a full-sized bed built into the wall opposite the entrance and a desk, with a library computer terminal, in the bed structure. Adjacent to the entryway, a wall mounted wardrobe closet was available to store casual and professional attire while built-in shelving units allowed the resident to store and display personal items. A wall-mounted table, adjacent to the Replicator, allowed a comfortable place for eating. A private half-bath, with sonic shower, was also available for hygiene needs.


Enlisted Quarters / Bunk Room

Enterprise Enlisted QuartersThe most spartan quarters aboard the Enterprise, Enlisted Quarters are the smallest and least equipped cabins aboard the ship. Primarily used by the lowest ranked members of the Enterprise's crew, Enlisted Quarters have been placed adjacent to critical locations to serve as emergency accommodations for use by members of the ship's crew when they are unable to travel far from their duty station.

Simplistically appointed, Enlisted Quarters were shared by as many as six people. Long and narrow rooms, few Enlisted Quarters had windows nor were located along the outer hull. Immediately upon entering the stateroom a visitor will find beds built into the bulkhead to their left and right. Further into a room a communal sitting area is available to occupants with a large table located centrally. A couch is built into the wall opposite the entryway, while two computer workstations provide entertainment. Enlisted Quarters rarely have an ensuite bathroom, requiring personnel to use communal restroom facilities located elsewhere on the ship.
