The tactical station is one of the primary stations found on the bridge of a starship. This station allows the tactical officer to control the ship's phasers, torpedoes, and shields. 24th century Starfleet tactical stations also often access/control communications functions as well as the ship's long range sensors.
Template:ShipClass starships have two tactical stations, on opposite sides of the bridge. (DS9: "Defiant")
The tactical station may also be known as the "weapons station." (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
