System Monitoring Room

Even with all the technological and automated advances reached by the 24th Century, not many engineers like to build things that cannot be watched and controlled by a living, breathing intelligence. Such is true with the vast numbers of systems that go into a space station or space-faring vessel. Typically, a ship/station's systems can be monitored from its Bridge or Operations Center. But the bigger and more complex the system, the more eyes and ears are needed to make sure everything is doing its job. This is where system monitoring rooms come in. These are areas designed to allow personnel to keep tabs on a certain system. They may monitor just one major system, such as the Environmental System Controls or it can watch just one portion of that system, such as life support or Waste Reclamation for example.

These rooms are equipped with LCARS consoles, system displays, and diagnostic tools. They are commonly located near the systems they monitor, although the more extensive a system, the more spread around the monitoring rooms may be.
