The command chair, also referred as captain's chair is the most important position on board a starship bridge.
The ship's duty officer sits on the command chair at all times and monitors all operations on the bridge. The chair is usually equipped with companels and other related equipment. In addition, some versions can swivel so the commanding officer can easily turn to face any relevant station.
In 2153, Captain Erika Hernandez showed Captain Jonathan Archer the bridge of her ship, the second NX class starship Columbia. Captain Archer suggested the installation of a lumbar support in Columbia's command chair, as Hernandez would probably be spending a lot of time in the chair. (ENT: "Home")
