A Command Chair is a specialized piece of ship furniture intended for command personnel, typically on a bridge.[1]

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Interior fittings: Deck plans typically show various furnishings and fittings which appear within the ship.[2] Furniture hinders movement and may, in some instances, blocks sighting and weapon fire as well.[3]

Command Chairs: These are padded, comfortable chairs used by on-duty personnel. Most contain some instruments and controls in the chair arms related to the function of the console the chair is located in.[4]

Computer Control Standards[edit]

Computer Controls: In almost all cases where the ship's computer can control a given ship function (gravity, doors, etc.), orders fed in at the central bridge computer take precedence over those fed in at local controls. Only if the computer is inoperative will a computer override be ineffective.[5] Some ships have been known to be built with a different system set-up, but this arrangement is commonplace on most vessels within Charted Space.
