The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was a Constitution-class vessel launched in 2245 that was commanded by Captain Christopher Pike from 2250 until 2265. It was the first Federation starship to bear the name Enterprise and one of the most storied starships in Federation history.
The bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise was circular in shape with a wide viewscreen/window combination at the forward end of the bridge. The captain’s chair was placed centrally, slightly towards the rear, with the helm and navigation stations directly in front at a lower elevation. Five additional duty stations adorned the outer perimeter of the bridge, critical for carrying out ship operations. Access to both a turbolift and the conference room were available at the rear port and starboard sides of the bridge, respectively.
Pike's quarters on the U.S.S. Enterprise exemplified his multifaceted persona and interests. Pike was an avid cook, host, and cultural explorer. His quarters featured a kitchen, a dining table, a fireplace, and a hydroponic garden. He also displayed a plethora of artifacts and art from his voyages. Pike's quarters were a cozy and hospitable space, where he frequently invited his crew and friends for gastronomic and ludic experiences.
Spock's quarters on the U.S.S. Enterprise were a reflection of his dual heritage and his quest for balance. The room was spacious and minimalist, with large windows that offered a view of the stars. Spock had a few personal items that reminded him of his Vulcan and human origins. He also had a meditation alcove where he could practice his mental disciplines and connect with his inner self. Spock's quarters were a place of peace and harmony, where he could explore his emotions and logic in equal measure.
The transporter room was a marvel of 23rd-century engineering. It was a critical hub for crew members to beam to alien worlds or ships. The room blended mid-century aesthetics with futuristic elements, reflecting the ethos of exploration and discovery. The room housed the iconic transporter pad and an added corridor that facilitated movement, embodying the fluidity of space travel.
Adhering to the architectural consistency of the crew quarters, this specific room was intentionally left uncluttered to maximize space for combat training. The side walls were equipped with an array of weapons and tools, which provided crew members the opportunity to enhance their proficiency in various combat techniques. This strategic design ensured that the crew was well-prepared for any potential combat scenarios that may arise during missions. The room thus served as a practical and versatile space for skill development, reinforcing the crew’s readiness for diverse challenges.

While the crew quarters in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds maintain a consistent architectural framework, each room was uniquely tailored to mirror the character and narrative arc of its occupant. For instance, Spock’s quarters incorporated several design elements reminiscent of the original Star Trek series, most notably the central dividing wall. Despite the familiarity of Spock’s quarters from previous series, the Strange New Worlds rendition represented a modern refit, reflecting advancements in technology and increased production budgets characteristic of the 2020s. This approach ensured both continuity and innovation in set design.
