==4.3 Bridge Stations==

'''4.3.1 Flight Control (CONN)''' 
This console is responsible for the actual piloting and navigation of the ship. From this station all SIF and IDF systems are monitored, as well as navigational deflectors, and their subsequent systems. This console performs the same functions as it would on board any other Federation starship.

'''4.3.2 Operations Management (OPS)''' 
This console is responsible for power maintenance and resource allocation. This console dictates priority status of all shipboard systems and operations. They coordinate activities between departments and between the ship and away missions. This console performs the same functions as it would on board any other Federation starship.

'''4.3.3 Tactical Operations (TACOPS)'''
This console is responsible for the operation, monitoring and maintenance of the ship's tactical systems. These systems include the phaser arrays, the photon torpedo deployment systems, probe	deployment systems, H.I.S.S. system, Signal displacement system, tractor beams, and Tactical deflector systems. The Tactical station aboard the Rosenanté class starship differs from those of standard Federation starships. The main difference is the divorce of the ship's tactical systems from the internal security systems of the ship. This allows the tactical officer the ability to concentrate on the tactical aspects of the ship without the need to also monitor the internal security status of the ship. Another major difference in the Rosenanté class starship is the addition of a sensor array specifically for use by the tactical officer.

'''4.3.4 Security Operations (SECOPS)'''
This console is responsible for the monitoring and operation of internal ship security systems. The Operator of this console is responsible for the deployment of ship's security personnel aboard the ship. This console controls the internal security containment fields, internal ship's sensors. The SECOPS officer can monitor the security status, security systems and personnel deployment for the entire ship. They can control door mechanisms, containment fields, the turbolift car, and weapons settings of all Federation weaponry on the ship. In addition, security can control personnel access to restricted areas, and utilize sight-to-sight onboard transporters.

'''4.3.5 Communications (COMMOPS)'''
This console is responsible for the encryption and decryption of intercepted communications, for the transmission of communications, maintaining the Emissions Control Protocols, and the operation of specialized communications interception equipment. The Communications officer is often called upon to triangulate communications sources, decipher enemy transmissions, and encrypt outgoing communications. They often assist in Traffic Analysis of enemy troop deployment, and maintain secure communications with away teams.

'''4.3.6 Science Stations I & II'''
These consoles are responsible for data collections, primary and lateral sensor operations, and database referencing. It is the responsibility of the science officer to operate the ship's sensors, teleoptical systems, and imaging systems. They observe, record and document data important to shipboard mission objectives. These stations can be utilized together or separately. This station also acts as the primary database access terminal for the Federation database carried aboard all Federation starships. Both passive and active sensors are controlled from this station.

'''4.3.7 Auxiliary Engineering Station'''
This station is responsible for maintaining and monitoring shipboard systems. This console works in conjunction with main engineering, and is capable of performing the same functions as the computer in that section of the ship. From this station the warp fields can be tuned, altered or monitored, as can all primary and secondary shipboard systems. This station is not always manned.

'''4.3.8 Command Stations I & II'''
These consoles are responsible for the maintenance and monitoring of the ship's computer and all primary and secondary systems. Only the commanding and executive officer have access to these consoles. From these consoles the commanding officers can display data concerning ship's systems, status, condition, position, speed, heading, and power management distribution. These consoles can access the database, and has priority authority over all computer functions. These consoles are the only terminals capable of activating the ship's self-destruct mechanism. Any officer in command of the starship may utilize these consoles, although some functions may be unavailable.
