The helm is centered at the dorsal end with command chairs for a pilot and co-pilot (only one is needed but a second can assist with the cannon). To starboard (far left on the map) is the astrogator station, opposite that to port (right side of map) is the chief engineer's station. A computer technician (optional) may assist and monitor overall ship operations between the helm & astrogator stations, and an optional communications & detection officer can work betweenthe helm and engineering.
