Ready room (Star Trek)

In the Star Trek science fiction universe, the Ready Room is a room located either adjacent to or near the bridge on Federation Starships. This room serves as an office for the commanding officer of a Starfleet vessel.

The concept of a Ready Room was first seen in Star Trek:The Next Generation on board the USS Enterprise-D. Galaxy class starships were equipped with two ready rooms. The primary ready room was adjacent to the main bridge. There was also a smaller ready room adjacent to the battle bridge for use when the two sections of the ship were seperated. The only time this ready room was seen was during the pilot episode Encounter at Farpoint.
