Briefing Room

A briefing room, sometimes called a situation room, is a designated place on a starship used by senior staff and/or away-mission leaders to meet with their subordinates. Here, mission details and objectives are discussed with appropriate personnel. Often, COs will use the briefing rooms for daily situational conferences with his or her department heads.

Typically, a briefing room is located close to the main Bridge or---in the case of smaller vessels---is part of the Bridge. Larger ships and stations can have a multitude of such rooms. Captains also have the option of declaring other locations on the ship as a "briefing room", such as a Conference Room or Observation Lounge.

Ships with Marine detachments often have small briefing rooms attached to the Barracks. Here is an example of a typical briefing room.
