Status readout, on a bridge monitor.
Starship Mission Status reports are a computer display available to Starfleet officers to brief them on the activities of other Federation starships and installations.
A readout of this nature for various sectors was often displayed on a screen in the observation lounge or bridge of the starship Enterprise-D during the 2360s.
The Starship Mission Status readout was displayed in the observation lounge in an alternate timeframe when Jean-Luc Picard found himself time traveling to his first mission on Enterprise-D. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
- While "All Good Things..." is the earliest appearance of the status chart chronologically, it was probably the last production featuring an appearance of the graphic onscreen.
The status readout was displayed on a computer screen on the bridge in 2367 when Data took over the ship. (TNG: "Brothers")
Bridge version
- This text is available here because this version of the graphic is recreated, as it appeared on the set, in Starlog's Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue #10.
Observation lounge version
- This version can be recognized from a distance by two horizonal graphics under the text "STARFLEET OPERATIONS - SECTORS 21538 - 23079". The text is available here because this version of the graphic is recreated, as it appeared on the set, on Star Trek: Captain's Chair CD-ROM.
Background
The mission status readout was devised by Michael Okuda's art department, and featured the registry numbers, classes and assignments of many Federation starships mentioned during TNG's run. "Chain of Command, Part I" was one of its many appearances. This display was never clear on screen, but has been reproduced in other media, and the info within has been adhered to by many later works including the Star Trek Encyclopediae.
