Ship Registry Display (Bridge)
A tactical/viewscreen overlay that flashes alphanumeric registry characters and emblem graphics across a sensor feed, built on the ship's bridge consoles. Under temporal interference the readout stutters and fragments—characters smear, color bands flicker, and diagnostic glyphs pulse red—forcing officers to lean forward and squint at corrupted data. Tasha manipulates the controls, Data cross-references analysis, and the crew watches the battered vessel's registry coalesce into a recognizable identifier amid static.

Purpose
To present raw identification and registry metadata for detected vessels—displaying registry number, affiliation, and basic classification so bridge officers can identify contacts and make tactical or diplomatic decisions.
Significance
The readout functions as the plot's turning point: its partial identification of a Federation registry converts curiosity into immediate moral and operational crisis, hardening the bridge's posture and forcing command to reconcile present danger with the weight of history.
