At the time USS ''Arrow'' was built, holodecks were yet to be considered standard equipment even though they were to become a standard feature not much later, even on smaller classes of ship such as the [[Nova class]].  As such, the idea to even retrofit a holodeck onto a ship not designed for it was considered impossible for a long period of time, until Ensign [[Maria Alvarez]] proposed that it might be possible and Captain [[Randal Shayne]] approved modification of the ship.

At the time USS ''Arrow'' was built, holodecks were yet to be considered standard equipment even though they were to become a standard feature not much later, even on smaller classes of ship such as the [[Nova class]].  As such, the idea to even retrofit a holodeck onto a ship not designed for it was considered impossible for a long period of time, until Ensign [[Maria Alvarez]] proposed that it might be possible and Captain [[Randal Shayne]] approved modification of the ship.
For quite some time ''Arrow's'' holodeck remained little more than a schematic and a plan, but some modifications to ''Arrow'' have already been completed.  Unfortunately, many of the parts required to build the holodeck will need to be sourced outside of typical Federation supply chains.


Currently, ''Arrow's'' holodeck is little more than a schematic and a plan, but some modifications to ''Arrow'' have already been completed.  Unfortunately, many of the parts required to build the holodeck will need to be sourced outside of typical Federation supply chains.
When Commander [[Karrod Niac]] transferred aboard to serve as the ships new First Officer, he immediately went to work on any outstanding project that could help give him perspective on the Arrow and her crew.  Discovering Ensign Alvarez's plans and sourcing the equipment they needed, Karrod decided to finish the holographic system.

The holodeck is (or rather will be) located on '''deck 4''' in an area slightly aft of Cargo Bay Two.  The holodeck taps into a shield power overflow diverter installed at [[Starbase 821]], and is designed to automatically shut off when shields engage to prevent injury or damage to the ship.  The holodeck is designed with variable geometry - essentially one wall of the holodeck can move in or out.  This design allows the holodeck to expand to accommodate more people (up to eight) for larger simulations, or collapsed down to its minimum size (occupancy two) to allow more storage space in the adjacent Cargo Bay Two.
The holodeck is located on '''Deck 4, Section Seven''' in an area slightly aft of Cargo Bay Two.  The holodeck taps into a shield power overflow diverter installed at [[Starbase 821]], and is designed to automatically shut off when shields engage to prevent injury or damage to the ship.  With a small vestibule outside, each holosuite can be used separately or linked for larger functions.  
 
The design, in its current form, requires photonic scattering panels (a special holodeck wall material), specialized low-power emitters, matching power adapters for the emitters, a miniature high-throughput supplementary computer, and a data bus to adapt that to ''Arrow's'' Optical Data Network.

Construction of the Holodeck has been approved, and power taps installed, but quickly stalled for a number of weeks. Thankfully, thanks to the whole crew chipping in in their own ways and providing the much needed hardware needed, the holodeck has now been constructed and tested. Time will tell how the crew will make use of the new compartment.

Construction was completed by Commander Niac & Cadet Jenna Perim on stardate '''239912.28''' while the ship was docked at RAFT-One.
