<font color=goldenrod>'''4.1 The Bridge'''</font>

The Bridge, located on Deck 1, provides primary operational control of the Rosenanté class starship. The bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordinates all departmental activities. These activities are handled through the individual command consoles located in various positions on the bridge. These workstations are modular and can be interchanged, removed, or added as necessary to fulfill specialized mission requirements. At any one time there can be up to 12 workstations installed. The standard bridge design calls for 2 Science Stations, 1 Operations Station, 1 Flight Control Station, l Auxiliary Engineering Station, 1 Tactical station, 1 Communications/ H.I.S.S. station, 1 Internal Security Station, and 2 Command Stations, one each for the ship’s commander, and the First Officer.
Other facilities located on Deck 1 include Astrogation, the captain's ready room and head, the crew head, and a small mission briefing room.
Major connections to the bridge include a pair of Turbolift shafts, four electron-plasma power distribution wave-guide conduits; four environmental support plenum groups, nine primary and two back-up optical data network trunks, two replicator wave-guide conduits, and three service crawlways. As an interesting side note, a tertiary backup power distribution system consisting of hardwired nonreactive, conductive ceramic-polymer relays are also in place.

The display panels on the bridge and through out the ship are constructed and operated the same as those on any other Federation starship. The layouts and reactivity of the panels are augmented and display properties shown in a different manner. The coloration of the interaction displays is altered to create a different aesthetic affect, while also allowing a variant-programming matrix to be utilized. This new language utilizes advances in Holoprogramming to create three-dimensional matrix strings; this in turn allows a more efficient and quicker computer response time. Critical internal components of the display panels are mapped to the molecular level allowing a replication driven pro-holographic matrix damage control system to repair damaged components. The components necessary to facilitate this activity are collectively known as the '''Se'''lf-'''Re'''plicating '''Da'''mage '''C'''ontrol '''S'''ystem ('''SERDACS'''). The '''SERDACS''' components are present in all non-integrity dependant systems throughout the ship. 

In addition to the standard anchored display consoles located throughout the ship, a series of Holoemitters have been seeded throughout the vessel to allow ship's personnel to utilize a holographic interface to tie directly into the ships computer regardless of the location of the crewmember. These emitters also allow the EMH to be activated in any compartment in the ship, and also allow for the construction of holographic crewmembers to fill non-critical positions on the ship. These holoemitters are capable of creating non-electronic tools for emergency use, and in conjunction with replication systems could produce vital simplified component reproduction anywhere aboard ship.
