Conference Room

Conference Suite

Located in multiple locations aboard the Constitution IV Class U.S.S. Enterprise, Conference Suites were locations where meetings and similar gatherings were held.

Several variations of the Conference Suite were located aboard the Starship Enterprise, but they all incorporated many of the same components. Each Conference Suite is equipped with a conference table, several seats for attendees, and at least one informational display with built-in communications capabilities. While the Executive Conference Room was often used by the captain to meet with diplomats, personnel, or guests, a Conference Suite could be used at any time to host meetings should mission protocols mandate.

The standard design of Conference Suite is a large, circular room that can be entered by a pair of automated sliding doors. Between the entrances a large display has been positioned that has priority access to the Enterprise's communications system and library computer. A large table capable of seating at least seven participants is located in the center of the room, but some rooms are configured in an informational lecture hall style over the collaborative table configuration. On the bulkhead parallel to the viewscreen is a decorative panel depicting either paintings, statues, or other artifacts related to the Federation or Starfleet. Decorative support braces line the walls of the Conference Suite and combine above the table, adding artistic flair to the chamber.

Executive Conference Room

Spanning the entire aft portion of Deck 1, the Executive Conference Room served a multitude of purposes in addition to being a meeting place, such as being used to host informal parties and for various events. A series of transparent aluminum viewports, spanning from near to the floor all the way up to the ceiling, provide an extensive view of space behind the starship and the twin Warp Nacelles.

Unlike most vessels, the Executive Conference Room is not directly connected to the Main Bridge of the Enterprise and must be accessed via a Deck 1 corridor. Two doors provide access to the Executive Conference Room with steps inside the room leading down to the conference area. The Executive Conference Room is dominated by a large conference table that matches the curvature of the exterior hull and can comfortably seat ten people. The table itself is deceiving in that it is a large computer terminal capable of displaying a variety of information in conjunction with the large computer terminal between the entryways.

Between the entryways and computer terminal are display cases featuring memorabilia and artifacts custom to the ship's lineage. Among the items on display are gold models of all Federation starships named Enterprise, split between the various cases. The conference room is further decorated with plants and has two replicator terminals to provide refreshments during meetings and events.

Staff Conference Room

Located throughout the Enterprise, Staff Conference Rooms are locations where meetings and various briefings could be conducted. While there are multiple Conference Rooms aboard the ship, specialized Staff Conference Rooms of this design have been located near the Battle Bridge, Engineering, and Sickbay complexes for complex discussions and related meetings.

The standard Staff Conference Room design focuses on comfort, with a strong effort to provide a relaxed area for staff. While the room is roughly rectangular in shape, the Conference Room is typically fitted with an ovoid-shaped table was located in the center of the room that could support seven persons comfortably. Normally, the meeting host would take the seat at the head of the table, closest to three large viewports that provided users with an impressive view of the Enterprise's surroundings.

Typically, entry to the Conference Room was provided through a small passage at the rear of the room, opposite the windows with access to an anteroom containing a single use head along the right wall. A monitor was provided to allow visual information to be involved in a briefing, as well as a replicator for refreshments.

Crew Offices

Captain's Ready Room

Similar in design to the Senior Officer's Quarters aboard the Enterprise, the Captain's Ready Room is a personal office reserved for the use of Captain Wilkan Targaryen. From the Ready Room the captain could complete administrative duties without interfering with bridge operations or hold private discussions either in person or via subspace communication.

Traditionally, the Ready Room was directly connected to the Main Bridge; however, on Constitution IV Class vessels like the Enterprise, the Ready Room has been moved to the starboard side of Deck 1 with access via corridor. The room itself features many of the same comforts as the Captain's Quarters, with a combination conference/dining area and living/work area immediately accessible upon entry. A large computer workstation gives the captain immediate access to information on the Enterprise's status, as well as priority linkages to Starfleet Command. A bedroom, fitted with a full-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, and private bath are available so that the captain does not have to stray far from the Bridge in a crisis. Often, unless his children are aboard ship, the captain prefers to use his Ready Room in lieu of the Captain's Quarters to rest and his two dogs are often present in the Ready Room.

Multiple personal mementos from Captain Targaryen's long life are present inside the Ready Room. Among his most prized possessions are a Klingon Bat'leth provided to him as a gift by the Klingon Empire during his tenure aboard Starbase 75, as well as a Lionian Glavin that was received by the Captain during first contact with the Ligonians by the Saratoga when he was First Officer. None, however, are as special to him as the game of Kal-toh that was provided to him by Captain Seven of Nine when he assumed command of the Enterprise, which is on display on his desktop.

Executive Officer's Office

Located on the port side of Deck 1 aboard the Enterprise, the Executive Officer's Office is a private office for the ship's First Officer. From this office the XO can informally speak with staff, attend to logistical or personnel problems, or see to other administrative responsibilities.

Accessed via Deck 1 corridor, the XO's Office is designed similarly to the Enterprise's Captain's Ready Room. Upon entry, guests find themselves in the main compartment of the XO's Office, which features a combination conference/dining area and living/work area. A large desk allows the XO immediate access to information on the Enterprise's mission and status. A bedroom, fitted with a full-sized bed, and a private bath are available so that the XO can remain near the Bridge.

As a private office, the XO is permitted to decorate the room with personal mementos. Among the items Commander Zhora zh'Roothi has on display in her office include a Ushaan-tor, an Andorian ice miner's tool that was also used as a weapon in Ushaan duels. A ceremonial sword, given to the Commander by her brother, is on display near the entryway. The Commander also has many plants on display as a reminder of her past as a Science Officer.

Senior Staff Office

Located primarily on Deck 3, with additional offices near the Engine Rooms, Sickbays, and Security Compounds, Senior Staff Offices offer a private workspace for Department Heads aboard the Starship Enterprise. Large rooms, Senior Staff Offices aboard the Enterprise are more spacious than even the Captain's Ready Room on other Starfleet vessels.

Sharing the same generalized layout, each Senior Staff Office blends form and function. The work area, featuring a large computer desk with built-in terminal, was the focal point of the ready room and was located adjacent to the entrance. A nearby shelf allowed the staff member to personalize their office through the display of their personal belongings. Separated by a railing and a small set of stairs, a raised level in the front section of the room featured a small table, a curved couch, and a food replicator that could be used to meet with guests in a more informal setting.

Designed with comfort as a priority, each Senior Staff Office had a private restroom assigned for hygiene needs. With an office available for each member of the Senior Staff, several additional offices have been built that can be temporarily assigned to VIP guests aboard the starship.

Staff Office

Located throughout the Starship Enterprise, Staff Offices are private workspaces for crewmembers in various departments aboard the vessel or as temporary workplaces for guests.

Staff Offices are small, functional workspaces designed with efficiency in mind. Located on one level, the focal point of the office is a large computer desk with built-in interface terminal. A secondary display is mounted on the wall behind the desk that can be configured to display a variety of information about the vessel or its status but is routinely assigned to library computer or research access. Adjacent to the desk is a small sitting area with a couch and - at least - one chair. While many offices feature windows, the majority of these rooms lack windows.

Staff Offices, as personal workspaces, are typically private and personnel may decorate as they see fit, provided it meets Starfleet protocol. Many offices are decorated with plants; however, some have placed various knickknacks or sculptures.
