Enterprise‑D Main Bridge Sensor and Tactical Display Array
A contiguous arc of high‑resolution consoles and vertical display panels that dominates the forward section of the Enterprise‑D main bridge. Layers of holographic schematics, grid‑like tactical overlays, scrolling sensor traces, and waveform graphs stream across tempered polymer screens and brushed‑metal bezels. The array presents gravimetric and time‑displacement metrics and color‑coded anomaly overlays, emitting terse chimes as ambiguous traces appear. Scars and scuffs mark older surfaces while darker reinforcement frames and added tactical indicators betray a hurried militarized retrofit; bridge officers (Data, Riker, Picard, Worf, Wesley) lean on the array as it translates unintelligible physics into rising operational danger.

Purpose
Provide real-time sensor, tactical, and navigational readouts for bridge officers to detect, identify, and respond to external contacts and ship systems status.
Significance
Serves as the empirical proof that history has shifted: its altered styling and the anomalous sensor returns reveal the battered Enterprise‑C and the Enterprise‑D's militarized state, catalyzing the crew's ethical dilemma about restoring the timeline.
