The table retracts into the floor when opening communications with the Illusive Man.īy 2186, feeling that the ship, being based on the Systems Alliance-designed SSV Normandy SR-1, was their property, they studied and modified her, adding new parts, redesigning existing areas and removing Cerberus equipment. The room is dominated by a large rectangular conference table where anyone can hold briefings and discussions with the crew as well as communicate via hologram with the Illusive Man in real time thanks to the ship's quantum entanglement based communications array. Instead the SR-2 has a Communications Room, which is situated between the Armory and Research Lab. One major difference is that the SR-2 lacks the large conference room that the SR-1 had. The SR-2's armory on the ship's port side displays acquired weapons and a weapons locker.
The lab on the ship's starboard side is stocked with state-of-the-art lab equipment and includes a terminal to spend raw materials to develop upgrades for the squad or the ship itself, as well as review existing upgrades. Unique to the SR-2 are the Armory and the Research Lab situated behind the CIC. In front of the galaxy map is the Normandy's status display, where ship upgrades that were applied are displayed. The CIC of the SR-2 is still centered around a large galaxy map which can be used to plot the Normandy's next destination, and directly next to the map is a private terminal which can access electronic correspondences and review basic information about the crew. A control panel next to the Helmsman's seat can open and close the hull's heat shields. As with the layout of the entire ship, the SR-2's bridge and CIC mirror that of the SR-1 except wider and longer in scale.įrom the bridge the Helmsman pilots the ship while communicating with EDI, the ship's artificial intelligence.
The command deck of the SR-2 is comprised of the ship's bridge, Combat Information Center (CIC), Research and Tech Labs, Armory (both standard weapons and unique prototypes are stored here), Briefing/Communications Room and main airlock. The model ship display case now spans an additional wall, allowing for more to be displayed. Feeling that the ship, being based on the Systems Alliance-designed SSV Normandy SR-1, was their property, they studied and modified her, adding new parts, redesigning existing areas and removing Cerberus equipment. There is also a display case for model ships, which can darken to double as a screen for visual communications, a large fish tank, and a place for a space hamster, purchasable on the Citadel.īy 2186, the deck layout of the Normandy SR-2 remains much the same as before the Systems Alliance began retrofitting her. It is located directly under the exterior pressure hull, earning the nickname "the loft" from the fitting yard workers.Īside from a full-sized bed, bathroom, office desk, and standard furniture, the Captain's Cabin features a display case for tracking the progress on achievements, a private terminal for monitoring basic information about squadmates, reading new and archived emails, and viewing advanced training videos, an armor locker, a combat armor layout, and a sound system. The topmost deck of the ship is entirely comprised of the captain's quarters.
