- The main lounge on the OEB is located 8FWD and features a library motif (dubbed the “Writers Room” or “8-Foreword” it doubles as a museum with artifacts from the life of OEB). Several OEB quotes adorn 8 FWD:
"There is no end to what a living world will demand of you"
“In order to rise from its own ashes, a Phoenix first must burn.”
“All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.”
“Drowning people sometimes die fighting their rescuers.”

- A two-storied astrometrics lab adjoining Stellar Cartography.
- Phasers emit an ionic trace, which can be used to track targets previously hit, even through a cloak.
