Situation room aboard the Enterprise, NX-01
The situation room was a small section located at the rear of the bridge aboard NX-class starships in the 22nd Century.
The room was a precursor to the briefing room aboard Federation vessels, where senior officers could hold discussions on subjects such as the progress of a mission. It was marked by several computer displays and stations (including the environmental controls) and a small table with swing-out chairs built into its structure. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Chosen Realm")
The room was also accessible through a doorway located on the starboard bulkhead. (ENT: "Acquisition")
When it was not used for briefings, the situation room was often manned by several crew members. (ENT: "Zero Hour")
- In the mirror universe episode "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", the NX-class ISS Avenger did not have a situation room, but a wall and a bank of computer monitors in its place.
- The design for the situation room aboard Enterprise obviously took cues from the aft section of the Defiant from DS9, also designed by Herman Zimmerman.
- While there was never any onscreen indication as to where the situation room door led, blueprints of the NX-01 suggested that it led to airlock access.
