A bulkhead is a wall-like partition in a starship used to aid structural integrity.

Bulkheads are numbered and divide a ship into separate parts to help keeping its rigidity. Bulkheads in Starfleet vessels built in the 24th century are made from a tritanium alloy and can be reinforced with shields to enhance the ship's overall structural integrity. (VOY:"Repentance")
