The space occupied by the Watchpost is designated an 'observation lounge' in most Intrepid-class vessels because of the row of six windows along the rear wall. But the windows themselves are too small and too deeply-set to provide much of a panorama. The eyes of Watchpost patrons can rest instead on any of a number of active display surfaces -- the main viewscreen between the doors, the 'windows' along the side walls, and the 'skylights' overhead. By default, Strus will have these displays set to show the most beautiful stellar phenomena he can locate. | The space occupied by the Watchpost is designated an 'observation lounge' in most Intrepid-class vessels because of the row of six windows along the rear wall.

The space directly in front of the main viewscreen (4) is covered in a hardwood laminate over a cushiony underlayer. The combination provides a surface suitable for dancing if occasion arises. In such a case, the chairs, stools and tables in that sunken area will be relocated around the rest of the lounge. | The space directly in front of the main viewscreen (4) is covered in a hardwood laminate over a cushiony underlayer.

Patrons who prefer not to sit, such as Brikar, can stand either in front of the primary serving bar or on the dance floor next to the bars along each side. | ||
A short hall leads from the bar area back to the storeroom (3), where the Watchpost's supplies of rare and specialty beverages and foods are kept. | A short hall leads from the bar area back to the storeroom (3), where the Watchpost's supplies of rare and specialty beverages and foods are kept. | ||
