A recreation room on deck 3
A recreation room on deck 5
The recreation room (often abbreviated "rec room") was an area of a starship where crewmembers could go to enjoy games and other activities when off duty.
Template:ShipClass starships such as the USS Enterprise had several recreation rooms. Recreation rooms 3 and 6 were located on deck three. Another recreation room 3 was located on deck five. (TOS: "Charlie X", "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield") A recreation room on deck five was also the place where Captain Kirk came to eat a chicken sandwich and drink coffee, in 2268, only to discover tribbles had also gotten into the food delivery machinery. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
At least one type of recreation room was capable of holographic projection. By 2270, the Enterprise was outfitted with such a room in area 39 of the ship. This rec room was capable of creating pre-programmed illusions using holographic scenes, simulated weather including wind and temperature, and sounds played from audio tapes. The scenes it created included an 18th century European hedge maze, forests, blizzards, and a beach with seagulls. Even though the scenery extended beyond the room, one would still be able to walk up to and touch the walls during a simulation. (TAS: "The Practical Joker") These types of rec rooms aboard starships were not considered to be actual holodecks. (VOY: "Flashback")
