I've been learning Chat GPT 5.2 which is an AI browser based ap. Over the next few months I'll be showing images, click on image to enlarge, of the ship's interior starting with: 

Deck 1:

This is the Bridge with a large viewing window allowing for a panoramic view of space. Starting on the fore-starboard is the Helm/Navigation Station followed by Command at  fore-port. Both chairs are on a slider system allowing the Officer to move left or right to access their screens. At aft-starboard is the First Officer/Science station and at aft-port is Tactical/Communications station. Even though it's compact it allows the Captain eye to eye contact with the rest of the Bridge Crew.

Behind the Bridge is the Transporter Room able to transport up to four people at a time.

Next is the Ready Room for meetings between Command and a few Crew. The screen in the center displays different areas of space used for briefing purposes but also displays other information as well. Also from this image the controls for the Transporter are evident on the wall behind the glass.

Behind the Ready Room the Lounge resides. This offers a comfortable space for the Crew to relax and also used for meetings with Command and the entire Crew at once.

At the aft part of Deck 1 is a small Science Lab equipped with the latest technology being used by several of the different Sciences. Also is a Holographic Table to view data, experiments, and other scientific data.
