Observation deck/Legends

An Observation deck was a location often found on Starships and Space stations, where the crew could directly observe the surrounding environment. It could also be referred to as an Observation dome or Observation blister. Some stations and larger starships had purpose-built observation decks, but often, smaller spacecraft lacked a dedicated observation deck and utilized the cockpit for the same function. The observation deck was fundamentally a form of passive sensor collection.



Notable locations include the Emperor's throne room on board the first and second Death Star, and the surgery suite on board the Redemption.
