The operations station (also known as "ops") is a console station on Starfleet bridges of the 24th century, manned by the operations position evolved from older 23rd century positions. Although the bulk of the duties held by the helm and navigation positions were combined into the conn position, other functions of the helm panel, such as internal systems control, became the purview of ops, as did some communications and sensor system usages.

On a Template:ShipClass starship such as the USS Enterprise, the ops station was situated right before the viewscreen, occupying a central position with the conn. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

On an Template:ShipClass starship such as the USS Voyager, the ops station was located at the rear of the bridge. (Star Trek: Voyager)
