She is armed with four phaser cannons, three phaser emitters, four forward torpedo (photon and quantum torpedo) launchers, two aft torpedo launchers.

Deck Listing

Deck One

• Main Bridge

The main bridge is probably the area least modified from the original design specifications of the defiant class. It had a command chair in the center, with two control panels on pedestals to either side. At the front is the conn/ops station in front of the main view screen, to port is the main tactical station and engineering station, and to starboard is the secondary tactical station and science station.

• Captain's Ready Room

Amelia's desk

The captain's ready room has been customized heavily to match Amelia's tastes. The flooring is replicated bamboo tiles shaped like the tessellated lizards in the M C Escher lithograph Reptiles. She has a glass topped desk with two drawers. On the wall behind her desk is a painting that was created by her brother: it features four anthropomorphic turtles with shadows that looked like human Renaissance artists. Hanging on another wall is her cat o'nine tails whip; it is named Anne, after the daughter of her favorite Captain (now Admiral) Andrea Levine. Anne hangs on the wall as a nod to old Earth naval tradition of the whip being corporal punishment, and the name was selected in reference to the whip's common nick name being The Captain's Daughter.
