The defense strategy laboratory (along with the tactical labs) is used to develop and implement the field of military science, specifically the defense of the vessel and the Federation. Oftentimes, this laboratory is used most often by mission specialists and the tactical department during their planning and analysis sessions. Shaped like a standard briefing room, each short wall of the rectangular room contains a medium wall-embedded display, while the central table is a sophisticated holographic display unit with its own small fusion-based power supply and two dedicated subprocessors. The power supply and extra processors allow the laboratory's holographic elements to function even during combat, when power is otherwise directed away from such frivolities. | The defense strategy laboratory (along with the tactical labs) is used to develop and implement the field of military science, specifically the defense of the vessel and the Federation.

===Geosciences=== | |||
Geosciences is the studying of a planet's features, including composition, atmosphere, and other characteristics. The geosciences lab are often paired by several observation rooms, where equipment can be set up to study a planet from above. It also includes terminals that are linked to other stations, including Atmospherics and Astrometrics, to coordinate with these sciences. There are also multiple chemistry set-ups available, for studying microscopical samples, component separation methods including Fermentation and Distillation, and electromagnetic spectrum scanners, including X-ray, UV, and Infrared. | |||

Cryogenics refers to the creation, study, and effects of very low temperatures ''(less than - 180° C / 93.15 K)''. The technology directly concerned with the cryopreserving living organisms is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics cryonics]. The temporary cryogenic storage lab is designed to create very low temperatures for the storage and preservation of materials, both organic and otherwise. The lab is segmented into a number of storage lockers varying in size from six-inch cubes used for research, all the way up to a shuttle-sized locker for storing very large samples. the majority of the space devoted to the lab, however, is ultimately taken up by the equipment necessary to create and maintain these low temperatures. So, what most visitors see is a wide hallway with a master observation room at the end and a few short side-branches. These hallways are lined with doors to the various lockers, and each possesses a small wall-embedded display containing vital information concerning the locker and its specimen. | Cryogenics refers to the creation, study, and effects of very low temperatures ''(less than - 180° C / 93.15 K)''.

===Xenoecology=== | |||
Xenology is the study of alien ecosystems, and particular, flora and fauna. The Xenoecology lab is essentially an internal greenhouse aboard a Starfleet vessel. The lab is often a specialised version of a biophysics or xenobotanical lab. It houses a large range of plants, seeds, and other botanical samples for studying. There a microscope setups available for study, as well as Distillation and Fermentation installations. There are several separated areas for the studying and culturing of different fauna and flora, including consumptive, medical, or aesthetic. Often, the lab is used for studying samples during first encounter missions, where alien plant-life is studied. With the availability of replicator technology, the xenoecology is seldom used as a means of providing nourishment for the crew, although specialised plant-life may be grown for that purpose. | |||
===Xenology=== | |||
Xenology is the study of alien cultures, and particular, languages and communication. The xenology lab is often a specialised version of a anthropology lab. The lab is often stylised as a oversized library, where PADDs and LCARS terminals are available for immediate consultation on previously acquired knowledge on linguistical and cultural matters. It is often where alien languages are studied and disseminated for use with the {{ma|Universal translator}}. Linguists and culture specialists here on {{ma|First contact}} missions, often with alien dignitaries in tow. | |||
