Famous for his work on Star Trek, he has been responsible for a number of starship designs. He co-wrote the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual. ; The Star Trek: The Next Generation® Technical Manual, written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, the technical advisors to Star Trek: The Next Generation, provides a comprehensive schematization of a Galaxy-class starship. From the bridge to the shuttlebays, from the transporter room to crews' quarters, this book provides a never-before-seen glimpse at the inner, intricate workings of the most incredible starship ever conceived. Full of diagrams, technical schematics, and ship's plans, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual also takes a detailed look at the principles behind Star Trek®'s awesome technology -- from phasers to warp drive to the incredible holodeck. ; FINE ; Partial Contents: Introduction by Gene Roddenbery- Authors' Introduction- 1.0 USS Enterprise Introduction- 1.1 Mission Objectives for Galaxy Class Project - 1.2 Design Lineage - 1.3 General Overview- 1.4 Construction Chronology- 2.0 Spacecraft Structure - 2.1 Main Skeletal Structure - 2.2 USS Enterprise Coordinate System - 2.3 Hull Layers - 2.4 Structural Integrity Field System- 2.5 Inertial Damping System - 2.6 Emergency SIF/IDF Procedures - 2.7 Saucer Module Separation Systems - 3.0 Command Systems - 3.1 Main Bridge- 3.2 Bridge Operations - 3.3 Basic Control Panel ATerminal Use- 3.4 Flight Control (Conn) - 3.5 Operations Management (Ops)- 3.6 Tactical - 3.7 Command Stations - 3.8 Science Stations- 3.9 Mission Ops- 3.10 Environment- 3.11 Engineering - 3.12 Guidance and Navigation- 3.13 System Diagnostics - 3.14 Battle Bridge- 3.15 Main Engineering- 4.0 Computer Systems - 4.1 Computer System - 4.2 Personal Access Display Device (PADD) - 4.3 Isolinear Optical Chips - 5.0 Warp Propulsion Systems- 5.1 Warp Field Theory and Application- 5.2Matter/Antimatter Reaction Assembly- 5.3 Warp Field Nacelles- 5.4 Antimatter Storage and Transfer- 5.5 Warp Propulsion System Fuel Supply- 5.6 Bussard Ramscoop Fuel Replenishment- 5.7 Onboard Antimatter Generation- 5.8 Engineering Operations and Safety- 5.9 Emergency Shutdown Procedures- 5.10 Catastrophic Emergency Procedures- 6.0 Impulse Propulsion Systems- 6.1 Impulse Drive- 6.2 Relativistic Considerations- 6.3 Engineering Operations and Safety- 6.4 Emergency Shutdown Procedures- 6.5 Catastrophic Emergency Procedures- 7.0 Utilities and Auxiliary Systems- 7.1 Utilities- 7.2 Exterior Connect Hardpoints- 7.3 Reaction Control System- 7.4Navigational Deflector- 7.5Tractor Beams- 7.6Replicator Systems- 8.0 Communications- 8.1 Intraship Communications- 8.2 Personal Communicator- 8.3 Ship-to-Ground Communications- 8.4 Ship-to-Ship Communications- 8.5 Subspace Communications Network- 8.6 Universal Translator- 9.0 Transporter Systems- 9.1 Transporter Systems Introduction- 9.2 Transporter Systems Operation- 9.3 Other Transporter Functions- 9.4 Limitations of Use- 9.5 Transporter Evacuation- 10.0 Science and Remote Sensing Systems- 10.1 Sensor Systems- 10.2 Long-Range Sensors- 10.3 Navigational Sensors- 10.4 Lateral Sensor Arrays- 10.5 Instrumented Probes- 10.6 Tricorder- 10.7 Science Department Ops- 11.0 Tactical Systems- 11.1 Phasers- 11.2 Phaser Operations- 11.3 Photon Torpedoes- 11.4 Photon Torpedo Operations- 11.5 Battle Bridge- 11.6 Tactical Policies- 11.7 Personal Phasers- 11.8 Deflector Shields- 11.9 Auto-Destruct Systems- 12.0 Environmental Systems- 12.1 Life Support and Environmental Control - 12.2 Atmospheric System - 12.3 Gravity Generation - 12.4 Emergency Environmental Systems - 12.5 Waste Management - 13.0 Crew Support. …
