This deck is the operations command center, featuring a two station helm at the center for a pilot and a co-pilot/energy gunner to assist with the cannon, to the left of that an astrogation center (with movable command chair), to the right of the helm is the chief engineer's station. The Captain's station is behind the engineer, and the XO is stationed behind the captain. A computer operator with another movable command chair can oversee the communications and sensor equipment, and an eigth command chair is reserved for a rocket gunnerry expert to operate the torpedo launching system. A quartet of escape pods can be accessed from this deck. An access plate in the deck near the computer station permits access to the mainframe for maintenance and repair work.

The forward maneuver jets can be accessed here for service, along with the ship's hydroponics bins
Decks 4-6: Officer Quarters

Deck 4: Officer Quarters --- three single occupancy cabins are on this deck, typically occupied by a pilot, co-pilot/energy gunner, and chief engineer. A lounge area is adjacent to the lift shaft and the dorsal section contains a full service galley with a sink, auto cooker, refrigerator, and pantry. Viewports in each room permit visual access to the exterior.

Deck 5: Forward Gunnery Deck & Officer Quarters --- two single occupancy cabins lacking viewports (the masking screen launchers occupy the external positions where a viewport would normally be) are typically occupied by the XO and a rocket gunnery expert. The ventral area is the captain's suite, the dorsal area contains a galley, lounge area, and fire control for the rocket battery.

Deck 6: Officer quarters --- similar to Deck 4 with different decor, these single cabins are typically occupied by the astrogator, a computer operator (who may also possess astrogation skills), and an officer proficient in rocket gunnery.
Type FE alternate Deck 5
The type FE destroyer replaces the cubic meter hoarding rocket battery with a pair of laser batteries, and the former laser battery on the main gunnery deck is upgraded to an electron gun. This cuts down on the officer cabins on this deck, reserving passage for the captain and XO while the gunners reside in one of the officer cabins on deck 9. The masking screen launchers are replaced by albedo shield projectors.
