NCS

The NCS or Navigation Control Station is where the ships helm is located.

The helmsman, assitant helsman and other assisting crewmembers are serving here. A helmsman has a lot of responsibility, he controls the ship, evades attacks and brings the ship into striking distance.

The ship sensors first send data to the NCS so the helmsman can react in a split second, if something happens. Though the NCS does have windows, they are usually protected by blastshields during combat and so the helmsman can only rely on sensory data.

Incase the helmsman dies, the assistant helsman can take over, if both died or are incapacitated for a different reason, the navigational R-AI, aswell as the core R-AI can take over.
