Star Trek: Ranking The Main Bridges (2025)

14. USS Titan-A (USS Stargazer/USS Enterprise-F)

The bridge of the Titan-A is the focal point for much of the action in Star Trek: Picard's third season. However, the audience had already seen this bridge before - sitting atop the USS Stargazer. For the Titan-A, Production Designer Dave Blass went back to an old idea by Mike Okuda.

'Modular Bridges' had been around for years. In essence, Starfleet mass-produced bridge modules and could swap them out when the occasion arose. This was initially set to explain why the Enterprise-A had several different bridge designs (more on that later).

The Titan-A, similar as it was to the USS Stargazer, and the briefly glimpsed (via viewscreen) USS Enterprise-F, was a powerhouse of slick visuals and shiny flooring. The darkness may not have universal appeal, though it lent itself well to the darker themes of Picard's final year. The neon blue strip lighting, as well as the white under-stair lights, served mostly to highlight rather than floodlight. The seats evoked memories of the Enterprise-E, while the large Observation Lounge directly to the aft of the Captain's chair seems to be an homage to that scene in Star Trek: First Contact.

The Titan-A, and indeed the overall design of 25th Century Starfleet, was put in sharp relief with the return of the Enterprise-D. It also asked the immortal question: with, or without, the carpets?

For it's tenure as the newly christened Enterprise-G - they seem to have opted for the latter.
