Iconian Back-Wall Gateway Panels
Contiguous array of back-wall panels and associated control-surface conduits in the Iconian control room: tessellated dark plates and matte inlays threaded with emerald internal light, braided conduits, recessed control nodes, and etched alien script. The wall both houses the structural plates that physically articulate and frame the gateway (panels rotate/separate to form a spinning aperture and project distant vistas) and the embedded conduit/control surfaces that distribute power and show residual damage after bombardment.

Purpose
To house the power routing, diagnostic nodes, and user-access control surfaces that operate the Iconian gateways and associated systems.
Significance
Acts as a physical clue to the Iconian civilization's technology and its destruction: the damaged conduits and script confirm catastrophic bombardment, redirect the away team's mission from rescue to investigation, and provide the primary locus for decoding the gateways' function and potential danger.
