Located on Deck 1, at the very top of the ship is the brain of the
Hyperion, the Main Bridge. Using the very latest Sovereign Class module,
it is from here that the Captain commands the mighty starship. Every department
and system is represented here, Science, Tactical, CONN, Operations, the
list goes on. The bridge is the hub of Starship operations and is always
manned by a full shift rotation, ready to react to any situation that may
arise. Perhaps one day, you too will have a chance to sit in this
chair....
Located near the rear turboshaft is the ship's dedication plaque, presented when the vessel was commissioned into active duty. It proudly announces to all the ship and her motto.
"...Hyperion arose and on the stars lifted his curved lids, and kept them wide until it ceas'd; and still he kept them wide: And they were the same, bright, patient, stars."
- HYPERION: A FRAGMENT,
JOHN KEATS (1820)
Also located on Deck 1, leading off from the bridge is the Captain's Ready Room and the Conference Lounge. The Ready Room allows the Captain to work in privacy and hold meetings with crew members, whilst staying close to the bridge. The Conference Lounge, located aft of the bridge, is used for staff meetings and diplomatic functions. Located in the conference lounge is a glass display case containing representations of all the other vessels to have been named Hyperion in Starfleet. A history to be proud off.
