Commissioning and Early Service
Configuration
The Pavilion
The Pavilion is a multi-format events space prepared to host everything from small discussions to full scale celebrations. With facilities for entertaining and negotiating; including a ballroom, associated kitchen and dining spaces, meeting and conference rooms, direct connections to the VIP quarters and immediate access to the ship's secondary shuttle bay, the Pavilion is the focal point of the ship's diplomatic assets and provides a suitably grand location for hosting events large and small. Spanning much of the forward aspect of decks four and five to take advantage of the ship's impressive forward aspect, the Pavilion is the pride and joy of Ascension's crew.
Built around the Annette Sunners Auditorium, a 500 seat theatre named for the captain who led the ship on its first five year mission, the Pavillion also serves as a hub for rest and relaxation for the crew outside of mission operations. With regular events hosted by the crew, ranging from sewing circles to ceilidhs, the Pavilion is not a dusty backdrop for negotiations but a living example of life in the Federation. In the entrance foyer to the complex is the very history of Ascension itself, with artifacts and momentos from the ship's six decades of service presented for all to witness, and more than one wide eyed ensign has missed the beginning of their duty shift after becoming lost in the living museum of Starfleet's golden era.
