Located on deck 8 is the
Galaxy’s auxilliary control center, or more commonly referred to as the
battle bridge. It's primary purpose is to allow the crew to control
the ship from a safe location inside the ship, should the main bridge suffer
heavy damage or seperation should take place. The the event of the
sauver seperation the Battle bridge can control the Stardrive section.
The battle
bridge's primary purpose is to be used in combat situations. As such,
it is equipped mostly with controls and stations dedicated to defense,
combat, and emergency operations. You won't find many of the
science stations here that the bridge has, but more tactical and engineering
stations. The bridge features advanced target and threat analysis, damage
control, as well as fleet communications.
The battle bridge
also has direct access to the secondary computer core, allowing it dedicated
access to all of the section's functions. The Battle Bridge incorporates
the same dedicated computer core access, life support, and system redundancies
that are available on the Main Bridge. In addition however, the Battle
Bridge features a dedicated Intertial Dampening Field (IDF) generator and
associated artificial gravity generator to protect the officers here from
unexpected ship movement during combat.
