BACKGROUND - HOLODECK
The generic name, especially in use aboard
Federation starships, for the "smart" virtual reality system as
evolved by the 2360s -- a technology that combines transporter, replicator,
and holographic systems. The programs, projected via emitters within a
specially outfitted but otherwise empty room, can create both
"solid" props and characters as well as holographic background
to evoke any vista, any scenario, and any personality -- all based on
whatever real or fictional parameters are programmed. While personal
holoprograms relieve the stress and isolation of shipboard life for crew
personnel, Holodecks are also used for tasks ranging from scientific simulation
to tactical or even covert training.
TRAINING MISSION
The Game: The
crew of the USS Voyager have been scheduled for several training missions.
