Object
Hathaway Aft Deck Plating (Breached)
A ragged span of aft deck plating from the Hathaway: vacuum-rated composite panels blown outward, edges peeled back to reveal scorched insulation, twisted support ribs, and buckled grating. Pitted blast marks and smeared residue mark the surface; nearby handrails kink where force tore them free. Officers crouch and probe the lip with gloved fingers, treating the plating as both wound and forensic sample.

Purpose
Provide structural deck surface, atmospheric containment for the ship's aft compartments, and a walkway/mounting substrate for fittings and bulkheads.
Significance
Functions as the visible proof of the Hathaway's violent damage—a physical locus for the crew's deception and the Romulan‑sting ruse. The breached plating anchors tactical decisions, emotional reactions to sacrifice, and investigations into whether damage resulted from real weaponry or staged effects.
