At Deck B the lift arrives at the aft end of the Common Room. Across from the lift a Fresher is available for common use. The Forward Common Room is typically used by personnel staying in the surrounding staterooms.
Two-occupant staterooms, typically assigned to scouts filling senior positions aboard ship, surround the Common Room. Two tables with smart surfaces are used for eating and also for entertainment and as computerized work surfaces.
Through the forward iris valve the forward passageway leads to the security office on the starboard side and the Bridge at the far end.
The security office allows the security staff to monitor public areas of the ship. The smart surface counter also allows control of iris valves throughout the vessel, as well as giving information on the emergency systems, such as fire alarms and decompression alarms. There is a First Aid locker behind the security counter.
The security office also contains a weapons rack and armory bench for weapons repair.
At the end of the passageway, on the port side is a Fresher for use by Bridge staff.
The watch officer command chair sits in the center of the Bridge. In front of the command chair are the helm pilot, astrogator and computer systems operator. To the port side the engineering monitor station is forward. Aft of the engineering station a map table can project both planetary and star astrogation maps.
Aft of the command chair a holographic projector can be used to display planetary globes or tactical displays. On the starboard side of the Bridge the communication console and gunnery console. Though weapons could be fired from this station they are usually controlled from either Main or After Fire Control. This station is usually used by the tactical officer.
