[QUOTE]Originally posted by seanr: [QB] Thanks. There is indeed a precedent for having alternate control rooms dating all the way back to the Auxilliary Control room abord contitution class ships in the 2260s. There is no logical reason to assume that they would not have continued that trend throughout Starfleet's history, and plenty of reasons to assume that they would. The main bridge abord a federation starship is in a very exposed location; they'd have to have a backup in case the main ever took a direct hit (which is undoubtedly a fairly common tactic among the Fed's enemies by now). It is likely that the Ent-C's aux. control room is located somewhere near the center of the suacer section, in a similar location to that depicted in Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise for the Constitution refit (dead center of G deck). It is likely that the term "Battle Bridge" is specific to the Gallaxy class alone, or perhaps just that and the Sovereign class, since those ships were design to be able to function as two seperate entities when necessary. Each section would need a fully functioning bridge with identical but completely seperate support systems. The earlier/smaller ships would not need that kind of full redundancy, but would instead have the bridge and the auxilliary control room operating off the same computer core. The auxilliary control room would serve only as a backup in case of physical damage to the main bridge itself. It wouldn't need its own seperate computer core since the ship can't function seperated. It is likely that even the Galaxy Class starships have not one but _two_ such rooms, _in addition_ to the battle bridge - one for each section, in case either the main bridge or the battle bridge (or both) should become disabled while the ship is seperated. It is likely that such redundancy also exists on the Sovereign class, though we'll almost certainly never see it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
