Science Lab: |
![]() |
Science Labs on board Prometheus Class starships are located on Deck 9, near sickbay. The reason for this is so that if there is an emergency situation in the lab such as a chemical explosion, the medical staff is close by to ensure a quick and proper treatment. The main science station itself, located in a circular containment area, can be confined with a forcefield up to Level 10, the highest and most effective forcefield allowed by Starfleet Command. The station itself has room for four total scientists, and a secondary station that seats 2 scientists just adjacent. |

Astrometrics Lab: |
The Astrometrics Lab is located on Deck 11 near Main Engineering. It's used to map out stellar bodies such as stars, planets, nebulae, and black holes. The main control panel facing the screen and 2 adjacent stations control all functions inside the lab. The large area just below the screen can be used as a stage during presentations. For convenience or advanced analysis, the Astrometrics Lab can be used for communicational purposes or even a workplace for easy access to sensor information. In 2376 the USS Voyager used the Astrometrics Lab to establish communications with Starfleet Command from the Delta Quadrant. |

Transporter Rooms: |
Mark VIII Transporter systems are available on the newly refitted Prometheus class. Users stand on the platform in one of the hexagonal pads to be dematerialized or 'beamed' to a different location, then rematerialized in a target area. Transport times vary, but usually stay within the 1.5 - 2 second timeframe. Heisenberg Compensators remove any uncertainty from the subatomic measurements ensuring a complete and correct rematerialization. Transport range on the Mark VIII has been successfully extended 35,000 km to a total of 240,000 km. However, dense rock, certain metals, and radiation of sorts can disrupt the effectiveness of the beam. |

Holodecks: |
Holodecks can be located on Decks 4 and 5. Newly renovated, these rooms are designed smaller than the holodecks on Galaxy class ships, as they were made with effeciency in mind. These are a place of leisure for the crew, as it can sometimes get very boring off duty. Marines use the holodecks to hold practice missions before they actually need to infiltrate a target. Holodecks contain micro-tractor |
beams, holoemitters, shaped forcefields, and atomizers - which contol the smell and fluids inside the holodeck. The illusuion of a large environment is created by forcefields on the floor of the holodeck which moves along at the same pace as the person or lifeform. Any character created by the computer in a holographic simulation is confined to that specific area, however recent upgrades on the Prometheus Class vessels have led to holoemitters being stationed in most parts of the ship, including the bridge. Any part of the ship that does not have holoemitters installed will not support holographic medium, and the object will disperse quickly. |

Main Engineering: |
Deck 11 holds the nerve center of the ship - Main Engineering and the Warp Reactor Core. Here, matter and antimatter combine in a controlled reaction through the use of refined Dilithium crystals, which in turn power the warp drive, as well as the rest of the ship. The engineering layout is very similar to that of Sovereign class ships, however the Prometheus variant is a bit more confined. As on most Starfleet vessels, Main Engineering spans not just 1 deck, but several. The warp core itself spans nearly 7 decks starting at Deck 9 in the Lower Drive section. Directly above Main Engineering lies Engineering Section B, which contains two small warp cores, and is the primary driving force of the Middle Drive section while in MVAM. A smaller engineering section is used for Engineering Section B, looking similar to the ones |
seen on Intrepid class starships, only difference being a one-story engineering section with two smaller cores. Between Decks 2 and 3 lies Engineering Section A, the driving force of the Saucer or Upper Drive section of Prometheus class ships. Since it is between decks, a long corridor is used as the Engineering section, as one can see the entire warp core by taking a short walk down the corridor. |
