Briefing room

A briefing room is a dedicated area on a starship were the command staff can meet to discuss events and plan there responses.

Some starships classes have areas similar to briefing rooms with alternate designations:
 * Galaxy and Sovereign class starships have a large room called an observation or conference lounge
 * NX class ships have a situation room towards the rear of the bridge where a large display table and screens help the crew develop a plan of action.
 * Defiant class ships do not have a dedicated briefing room but do have a table area in the bridge like the NX class and can use the mess hall as a briefing room if necessary.
