The Operations Center for Fontana Station is located near the very top of the starbase, inside a tall central spire with a full view of the primary hull below. Being first and foremost a Starfleet command center, it's generally off-limits to visiting dignitaries, and has an austere look similar to other Starfleet interiors of the era, unlike the more comfortable looking diplomatic areas.

The center of the room contains 6 stations on a lower level. These stations manage the day-to-day operations, arrivals and departures, and traffic control duties. The chairs on these stations are placed on rails which lets them move towards the central situation table, where a large map of the Wolf 424 system is displayed.

This central area also counts with a state-of-the-art holographic projector, which by default displays the starbase and the space surrounding it, but can be configured for various uses or turned off depending on the situation.

Connected via a small side corridor but visible through a large glass window, the CO's office is the place where they spent most of their routine work days. The glass window can be made opaque if needed for privacy.
