The bridge of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} is an Omega-pattern bridge,<ref name="warfleetPOA">'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''' - ''p. 24-25''</ref> and 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 [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] is also located near the Captain's station. At the time of its arrival in the [[Soell]] system, the ''Autumn'' 's bridge was manned by fourteen officers. | The bridge of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} is an Omega-pattern bridge,<ref name="warfleetPOA">'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''' - ''p. 24-25''</ref> and consists of several consoles devoted to various functions.

The bridge of [[UNSC frigate]]s such as the [[Stalwart-class light frigate|''Stalwart'']] and [[Charon-class light frigate|''Charon'']] are is physically located at the top of the ship and have 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. The bridge of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, and presumably other ''Stalwart''-class vessels, is equipped with an independent life-support system that is capable of functioning even if the rest of the ship is crippled.<ref name="warfleetfrigate">'''Halo: Warfleet''', ''p. 36-37''</ref> | The bridge of [[UNSC frigate]]s such as the [[Stalwart-class light frigate|''Stalwart'']] and [[Charon-class light frigate|''Charon'']] are is physically located at the top of the ship and have a viewport which looks into space.

The control room of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] cruiser ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' is far more cavernous than its 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 [[Shipmaster]] was present on the platform when the John-117's incursion happened. Physically, it was located deep within the ship; a contrast to the exposed bridges of many UNSC ships. | The control room of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] cruiser ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' is far more cavernous than its human analogues and appears to require far less controlling crew.
