Interrogation room

The interrogation room

The interrogation room is a large room aboard the USS Enterprise-D that can be used for interrogations and hearings during court martials or other judicial matters.

The room featured a raised podium were the accused would be questioned. Several desks for bystanders could be installed in the room. On the other side several rows of chairs could be arranged for obsevers if a hearing was open to the public.

In 2366, Romulan Alidar Jarok was interrogated by Commander William T. Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi in the room. (TNG: "The Defector")

One year later, the Klingon spy J'Dan and later Crewman Simon Tarses and even Captain Jean-Luc Picard were interrogated in the facilities. (TNG: "The Drumhead")

The interrogation room was first seen in TNG: "The Defector" where it appeared much smaller than in its second appearance in TNG: "The Drumhead". On the set of the Enterprise it was located across from the entry to the transporter room.

Several other episodes featured interrogation rooms, including "Chain of Command, Part II", "The Search, Part II", "Little Green Men", "In the Cards" and "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges".
