Hmmm... good point. Any straight corridors in the saucer would be "spoke" corridors coming out from the center of the saucer, meaning no rooms off those corridors could be facing space on any bulkhead parallel to them. The wall with the windows on it is running parellel to the corridor Sisko entered from, IIRC.

I don't have a pic of a Miranda handy - could it be on a "deck two" i.e. under the bridge? The passageway runs straight and only the compartments on the either end have windows?

If you are referring to TMP itself, the whole saucer-separation at the end of the movie was used in two alternate endings Andy Probert proposed, but neither were really considered. Andy did design the TMP Enterprise model with the separation line (and how it would work can be seen in The Art of Star Trek), but the fact that the model can't separate wasn't a factor of budget, just that the script didn't call for it.

Although "main section" doesn't necessarily mean the saucer. He cold have meant everything but the nacelles.

There was a four nacelled Oberth prior to mine!? So much for originality in kitbashes (sigh).
Why would Starfleet call a class of ship "Asmodeous" class? How 'bout "Satan" class or "Lucifer" class while we're naming ships after demons. Dumb.

I think that the Sisko quarters... hang on - who says they are quarters? Show where the bulkhead has ripped/burnt/exploded away. They are way too big to be windows even for another class - who'd have such large windows in their quarters? No ship ever has before.
The profile of those bulkhead structures looks like how people have 'sideon' walls depicted in MSDs.
PLUS maybe they didn't have windowed quarters there were three of them in those quarters and maybe it's where even more of the ship has been ripped away.

Maybe we could interrupt the window as a solid sheet that would have decorative pieces placed around it for both extra strength and to make it look like the windows we are used to.
Edit: at least for that large section of quarters, which might include everything from Jake's room, across the commons area, to Benifer's room [that's funny, in a very sick way].

Didn't we work out in a thread from Flare past that the first three shillohettes on that chart are the Enterprise-ringship broken into three sections to make three new ships.
I think the Ariadne was the 'ring' part. Lombardy? the 'connecting neck/stick' and the first one the 'forward habitable section'.

USS Lucifer, NCC-521, Siva class destroyer, from the Franz Joseph Star Fleet Technical Manual. The whole class is named after 'bad' and/or 'warlike' gods (or maybe just after TV-SF/Fantasy villains) - Ares, Hathor, Iblis, Jugurtha, Loki, Mars, Molock, Tyr.
By the 23rd century Satan may well be regarded as being in the same mythological category as Mars and Loki.
