USS Thunderchild - Deck 04: Main Bridge

With the Akira and Defiant projects being developed side-by-side, the interior of both starship classes had much in common when they started production. Thunderchild in particular featured a standard first-generation Akira bridge, with the captain, flight navigator and operations console on a raised platform, and all other consoles alongside the circular perimeter on a lower level. These perimeter consoles were, working clockwise from the viewscreen: mission ops, science, tactical II, operations (redundant, often crewed by the XO), communications, tactical I, engineering, and environment.
