Changes: Mark IV bridge simulator

Revision as of 13:56, 20 October 2013

Mark IV bridge simulator explosion — Pyrotechnics in use in the simulator

The Mark IV bridge simulator was a mock-up of the refitted bridge of a Constitution-class starship for use by Starfleet cadets in Starfleet Academy training missions, such as the Kobayashi Maru scenario. This bridge simulator was listed in a directory placard on the second floor of the Starfleet Training Command building. It was located in room 216.

Captain Spock had a class of cadets, under the command of Saavik, make use of the simulator (playing the role of the USS Enterprise) in 2285, joined by Starfleet officers Leonard McCoy, Hikaru Sulu, Uhura, and Montgomery Scott. Admiral James T. Kirk also visited the simulator to watch the cadets' performance on the Kobayashi Maru scenario. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

McCoy, no smoking — "No smoking" sign visible

The simulator set was obviously a reuse of the Enterprise bridge in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The only noticeable difference is the lack of the "No Smoking" sign on the "real" Enterprise bridge as seen throughout the rest of the movie.

The simulator (or one very much like it) is used in the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy computer game, however, the ship designation and configuration changes from mission to mission.

The placard mentioning this simulator was sold on It's A Wrap! sale and auction for US$31.99. [1]
