The Command and Control station is the primary station within CIC used by the Commanding and Executive
Officers aboard a Colonial battlestar. The center comprises a large communications and a roughly hexagonal
"information management" table, with a retractable information display tower bearing a number of LCD
screens suspended above it. There are no chairs; the command staff are always standing.
Here, the battlestar's commander and Executive officer are on station, observing and plotting battle tactics,
viewing transparent charts, and giving commands to others in CIC. Above the Command and Control Station
are a cluster of monitors known as the DRADIS console. The DRADIS console descends from a cylindrical
ceiling recess when required. From the Command and Control Station, the commander has a 360-degree view
of the CIC. The DRADIS console contains DRADIS displays but also includes other navigation and tactical
information available to the commander at a glance. The displays are capable of showing a wide range on
information including:
* Countdowns
* DRADIS sensor readings relayed from the DRADIS console
* Battlestar management info, such as the vessel's spatial orientation (pitch, yaw & roll)
* Battle management information
