Riker's Bridge Command Chair
A firm, dark‑upholstered command chair positioned at the Enterprise main bridge where the First Officer customarily sits. It features stout armrests, a supportive high back, and a low swivel base sized for a senior officer. The chair anchors the starboard command area; when Kurn steps aboard and takes Riker's accustomed seat, the object becomes a focal point — crew members recoil, Worf registers a private bruise, and the room's social geometry immediately tightens.

Purpose
Provide the First Officer with a stable, ergonomically supportive seat on the main bridge from which to monitor consoles, issue orders, and coordinate ship operations.
Significance
Functions as a visible emblem of command and chain‑of‑authority aboard the Enterprise; Kurn occupying the chair directly challenges Riker's status, escalates interpersonal and cultural tension, and catalyzes the scene's conflict.
