| |
| | |
| The USS ''Arimathea'' is a unique vessel that represents a refit and update of the original Centaur-class scout ships, combining three generations of Starship technology. Despite its age, the ''Arimathea'' remains in active service, a testament to its adaptability and effectiveness in scientific exploration. This small starship, with its eclectic mix of technologies, presents both advantages and challenges for its crew members.
| |
| | |
| Engineers and scientists on board the ''Arimathea'' face definite challenges due to limited facilities and high maintenance requirements. The vessel's design requires meticulous care and expertise to ensure optimal performance and operational integrity. The crew's ingenuity and resourcefulness play a vital role in maintaining the ship's systems while conducting groundbreaking research.
| |
| | |
| On the other hand, tactical officers aboard the ''Arimathea'' might find themselves with fewer combat-related responsibilities. The primary focus of the vessel is scientific exploration rather than engaging in direct combat. However, the ever-changing nature of deep space exploration means they must remain vigilant and prepared to protect the ship and its scientific mission from unexpected threats.

| ====Bridge, Deck One====
| |
| Modelled on the successful layout of older, larger vessels such as the ''Sovereign''-class, the bridge of the ''Arimathea'' has a slightly altered colour scheme and a much-changed console layout across the bridge. Making the most of a variety of technological advancements, such as holoprojectors, holographic communications, in-built weapons lockers and three-dimensional computer displays in places, the ''Centaur II''-class bridge module is one of the most advanced in the fleet. Perhaps one of its most charming features is the emblem of the United Federation of Planets emblazoned on the carpeting as a constant reminder of all the ship stands for.

| |
| In a move away from more recent styles, and harking back to the traditional layouts of yesteryear, the ''Arimathea'' has a single center command seat for the commanding officer allowing the occupant full view of all stations. Directly ahead of them, down a few steps and between the commanding officer and the holographic viewscreen, two angled consoles serve as duty stations for Operations (port) and Flight Operations (starboard). Next, and facing into the heart of the bridge to allow maximum participation with the rest of the bridge crew are duty stations for science (port) and tactical operations (starboard). Directly behind the commanding officer, and in a further break from tradition, a combined duty station serves as positioning for the two most senior advisors and assistants to the ship's commander; the Executive Officer (starboard) and, when appropriate, the mission advisor or specialist (port). Around the outside of the bridge, there are countless other additional stations. Behind the main science station on the port bulkhead, additional science and medical consoles are available for mission operations, as well as access to life support and environmental controls. Adjacent to them on the starboard bulkhead, mission operations and security stations ensure the continued safety of the ship and crew on a day-to-day, mission-by-mission basis. On the aft bulkhead, engineering is the focus. With a large, entirely interactive and customizable master systems display (MSD) and other engineering controls, the representative from engineering has full access to the ship's systems.
| |
| | |
| Around the command center, four doors provide access to and from the bridge. On the forward port bulkhead, access is available to the observation lounge, whilst the starboard door grants access to the commanding officer's private ready room (available for use by any officer in command of the ship). At the aft of the bridge, both doors provide access to turbo lifts which enable the crew to access the command center from the rest of the bridge. The starboard turbo lift grants express, overridden access to key locations such as engineering, shuttlebay 1, sickbay, tactical astrometrics and transporter rooms 1 and 2.
