Security center

A security center was an area in a starbase or space station which housed the command and administration functions of its security officers and personnel. It was overseen by the Security chief or deputy.

Starbase Vanguard's security center was a large, four-walled room dominated by a master viewscreen more than five meters wide and nearly three meters tall. On the two adjoining walls were scores of smaller video monitors. Monitoring stations which could accomodate at least 24 personnel were arranged in a U-shape facing the screens.
