The transporter room is an area on a starship or outpost facility where transporter operations are conducted, typically housing a transporter pad and all necessary transporter technology. At one point during the Federation starship USS Enterprise's journeys the transporter room was termed the teleportion chamber.^{[citation needed]}

History and specifics[]

Many starships have a number of transporter rooms in addition to transporters in other locales such as cargo bays. The transporter rooms on the USS Defiant were sometimes referred to as the transporter bays.

In an alternate timeline where Montgomery Scott rescued James T. Kirk before he could be absorbed into the Nexus, Alliance vessels were equipped with an interrogation chamber; the only access to this section of the vessel was via a single transporter pad inside a miniature transporter room, a transporter cubicle.
