Captain’s Office

A new set that goes off the side of the new bridge.  It’s the Captain’s Office.  I’m not calling it a Ready Room, besides the fact that it’s a silly sounding name, it was also a wrong usage of the actual military term.

Also, no, you don’t have to search the archives.  I’ve never mentioned Kalybus in comic before.  It’s information Marty picked up on his own during his time as a Sith.

    Does the Captain get a fish?

    Thanks for the comment. I was ready to hit the search button.

  3. BrickVoid says:

    I wonder if Dr. Legostar plays a lot of DDO? (Dungeons & Dragons Online.) :D

  4. Darg says:

    Thing is, Roddenberry took a lot of liberties with his usage of naval terms and such. Starfleet was never meant to be a military organization like a terrestrial Navy, so some terms and ideas got “repurposed”.

  5. Louise says:

    I always thought “ready room” sounded stupid — ready for what?

    I did not realise it was a mis-use of a genuine term, though (I might have suspected it if I’d thought about it).

  6. Richard says:

    I think that the correct term is ‘Captain’s Day Cabin’; although, it is a term I remember from Traveller Supplement 5: Azhanti High Lightning
