The '''Bridge'''<ref>[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]], [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]]: Bridge to Cryo 2, this is Captain Keyes. Send the Master Chief to the bridge immediately.</ref> is a [[UNSC]] term for the command center of a ship. Normally, this is where the officers reside while doing weapons, navigational work, etc and to get a clear view of the area surrounding the ship via viewscreens. The parallel [[Covenant]] term is '''Control Room'''. According to Halo literature, the bridge of UNSC spacecraft is usually located at the ship's bow. A ship's bridge is usually represented by a red star. | The '''Bridge'''<ref>[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]], [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]]: Bridge to Cryo 2, this is Captain Keyes.

[[ | [[File:Keyes1.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Pillar of Autumn'' 's bridge with [[Captain Jacob Keyes]] in the foreground.]] | ||
The bridge of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' consists of several consoles devoted to various functions. There is a large domed viewport at the front of the room which looks out into space. This was evidently meant to be armored before the ''Autumn'' 's mission but there hadn't been time. The navigation and helm control officers are suspended in this dome. There are six consoles which line the sides of the room, and two in the center. The captain or commander of the ship stands before a large tactical map which can provide a series of important pieces of information. The [[holotank]] for the ship's [[AI]] is also located near the captain's station. At the time of its arrival in the Threshold system, the ''Autumn'' 's bridge was manned by fourteen officers. | The bridge of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' consists of several consoles devoted to various functions.

The bridge of the [[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] was considerable smaller than that of the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]], possibly indicative of it's smaller size. It is physically located at the top of the ship and also has a viewport which looks into space. The commanding officer sits in a chair, in front of which are the tactical and navigation consoles. There are several other stations behind these three, but they were not manned at the time of its arrival at [[Delta Halo]]. | The bridge of the [[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] was considerable smaller than that of the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]], possibly indicative of it's smaller size.

[[ | [[File:Hood.jpg|thumb|right|The Bridge of Cairo Station with [[John-117]], [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Admiral Hood]] in the foreground.]] | ||
The bridge of the [[Cairo]] orbital defense platform dwarfs the other two encountered. It's ceiling is covered by large windows allowing an unobstructed view of space. There are two raised platforms on either side which overlook the many consoles below. Like the Pillar of Autumn, there is a tactical map located at one side where the station's CO stands. Its large size is presumably because it was designed not only to control the station's systems, but also to coordinate [[Battle of Earth|large-scale operations]]. | The bridge of the [[Cairo]] orbital defense platform dwarfs the other two encountered.

The control room of the [[Covenant]] cruiser ''Truth and Reconciliation'' is far more cavernous than it's human analogues and appears to require far less controlling crew. It consists of a large room, within which is an "aesthetically barren" raised platform which is surrounded by transparent holographic displays and two larger displays mounted on one of the walls. Only the [[Ship Master]] was present on the platform when the Master Chief's incursion happened. Physically, it was located deep within the ship; a far more logical placement than the exposed bridges of UNSC ships. | The control room of the [[Covenant]] cruiser ''Truth and Reconciliation'' is far more cavernous than it's human analogues and appears to require far less controlling crew.
