Starship bridge

Starship Bridge
A starship's bridge is essentially the control room of a starship, most commonly seen at the stern of large vessels such as Star Destroyers and other capital ships.

On much smaller ships, like transports and fighters, there are cockpits. In most cases, a vessel is far less effective in its role if its bridge is destroyed or fails in some other way.

An example of this is when the ImperialExecutor is hit at its bridge by an out of control A-wing fighter during the Battle of Endor. The vessel backfires and careers into the second Death Star, destroying it. This shows how important a bridge is to a ship's operation.

Bridges are often comprised of many computer consoles that serve different purposes, most importantly the piloting duties. The bridge is also where the ship is commanded by the captain.
