Room Numbering System
Room numbers aboard Veritas are comprised of 6 digits divided into two groupings. The first two digits refer to the deck number. The second grouping of four digits specifies the sector (first and second digits) and compartment number (third and fourth digits).
In the saucer section, sector numbers go from 01 to 36 and correspond to one of 36 ten-degree sectors that divide the saucer section. In the secondary hull, the sector number always starts with 5 and the second digit corresponds to one of five sectors (labeled 0-4). First sector digits of 6, 7, 8, and 9 correspond to the upper port, upper starboard, lower port, and lower starboard nacelles and pylons respectively.
Room Number Format: DD-SSCC
- DD: deck number (01-12)
- SS: sector number (01-36 in the saucer, 50-54 in the secondary hull, and 60-64 (upper port), 70-74 (upper starboard), 80-84 (lower port), and 90-94 (lower starboard) for the warp nacelles and pylons)
- CC: compartment number
Examples:
- Room 04-2105: a room on deck 4, sector 21 of the saucer section in compartment 5 of that sector.
- Room 08-5203: a room on deck 8, sector 2 of the secondary hull in compartment 3 of that sector.
Interior Design
Typical corridor section in nicer areas of the ship such as VIP crew quarters and crew amenities
Typical corridor section on engineering decks and other maintenance areas
As a Starfleet cruiser, the interior design of Veritas is more comfortable than its smaller Defiant class cousin but not as extravagant as larger explorers such as the Galaxy class and Sovereign class starships.

- Captain's Ready Room:
- A small room with a desk and two chairs opposite the captain's chair. Along the wall is a small couch that also serves as a bunk when necessary. The room is also equipped with a replicator and its own private head/toilet.

- Briefing Room:
- Much like the rest of Veritas, the briefing room is modest in size but well-outfitted for its function. The room's layout takes the form of a rounded triangle at the front of deck 1. Six windows, three on each side, look out towards the bow of the ship. In between the two sets of windows is a large holographic display. A narrow conference table, also triangular in shape, stands in the center of the room with additional chairs along the back wall. Etched into the metal of the back wall is an illustrated history of early space travel for the four founding members of the Federation, from Earth's Apollo lunar program and NX class vessels to Tellar's Starlight missions. Each world's historical timeline rises up like a pillar, culminating together at the founding of the Federation in 2161, with the great seal of the Federation emblazoned above the words "United Federation of Planets."

- Library
- Though not as extravagant as the library on Cardiff or Galaxy class vessel-there is no wood paneling here covering the bulkheads for instance—the library aboard Veritas still offers a cozy sanctuary for book lovers. The ship’s librarian is Dr. Rosemary Shriver, a human woman in her mid-forties. She acquired from a bookshop on Esperance a rare hard copy of The Happy Return, the first of the Horatio Hornblower novels written by C. S. Forester. Alongside the novel is a traditionally crafted ship in a bottle. The ship in question is a detailed replica of the 36 gun frigate HMS Lydia. Both are proudly on display along the wall near the library’s modest reading area, along with the other few physical books and documents that are carefully placed behind a thin plate of transparent aluminum. One such physical artifact is a rare paper map of the Shoals from an early atlas of star charts, published before the Federation even existed. Early colonists and traders often kept a physical atlas as a back up to the virtual copies. Of course, in this day and age, these physical tokens are more ornamental. The vast majority of the library’s collection is found in the ship’s computer, and so the bulk of the library is devoted to terminals and alcoves for study.

Interestingly enough, there was also a full set of Klingon body armor on display on a mannequin in the corner. A small dining table doubled as a poker table.
