Sutherland's Primary Science Station (Sensor Array)
Dedicated science console on the USS Sutherland bridge, featuring an integrated sensor array used by Data to analyze ionized particle traces from Romulan ships. This is the station where Data reconfigures sensors to isolate Romulan signatures, provoking Hobson’s objections and the authority standoff. Physically distinct from Hobson’s tactical station.
