The Chrispin uses Zydar technology for its view screens. This technology allows viewscreens to be built that are like looking through glass. Zydar screens are normally a holographic image inside a sandwich of glass-steel. The screen itself is relatively inexpensive and can be made in very large sizes. The view ports in quarters are simple Zydar screen connected to an outside Zydar sensor and give the appearance of direct views to the outside. Elaborate Zydar Screens are used in the Bridge, Chapel, Verdant Park, and the Star Gazer Lounge.
The Chrispin's Bridge is located on the Blue Deck at the bow of the ship. It extends through the Yellow Deck and consists of three areas: Operations, Bridge Lounge, and Briefing Room.
Operations has consoles for : Helm, Navigator, 2 science positions (Chief Science Officer and Science Technician), Communications, Engineering, Duty Officer, First Officer, and Commander. It uses Zydar screens on the front walls, ceiling, and floor. A free Holo-Zydar screen is in the back. When all are in use, the bridge appears to be floating in space. This is a sight that can be very unsettling to those not used to it! Any Zydar sensor, computer display, and communications can be switched to any bridge Zydar screen or the HoloTank in the center of the bridge. The briefing Room and Bridge Lounge have one wall as a Zydar screen.
The Bridge Lounge is for informal activities while on the Bridge. It is divided from Operations by low planters. A Zydar Screen is on the upper half of the outside wall. A private lift from the upper floor of the Commander's quarters in the lounge.
The Briefing Room is used for formal briefings, planning meetings, and times when privacy is required. A Zydar Screen is on the upper half of the outside wall.
Located on the Green Deck, Verdant Park has tennis, volleyball courts, basketball, a woods with a stream and a small beach. The walls have computer driven Zydar screens continuing the park as a hologram. The ceiling is a Zydar screen showing sky scenes. These images were recorded on Earth and are complete with cloud movements and birds. The computer keeps the screens on ship time giving day and night complete with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Where there are no Zydar screens, the walls are molded to look like an English village and gardens.
Nature sounds are piped in and the ventilators are designed to give breezes with natural variations. The water circulation system causes gentle waves in the lake. A small pier allows access to the deeper water, approximately 5 feet, for those wanting to swim laps. The park is designed to mimic Earth as much as possible. Its 58,900 Sqft is approximately 1.3 acres.
The Chapel is used for Church services, plays and movies, and large meetings. It uses Zydar Screens to produce a variety of images are available from great cathedrals to country churches to outdoor and mountain scenes.
