General technical notes

• Following decommissioning while active, vessels can have a number of fates
  • Rarely, some vessels will be held in reserve for potential recommissioning
    • Given that vessels are only decommissioned when judged as no longer suitable for Starfleet operations this is usually infeasible
  • Prior to any other fates, all sensitive or defensive systems are removed
  • Significant vessels remanded to various fleet museums
  • Those still generally well-functioning often remanded to civilian organizations (TNG: "Hero Worship"; DS9 Novel: The Missing)
    • Such vessels recorded in Starfleet records with NAR registry prefix (TNG: "Hero Worship")
  • Other vessels used for various purposes within Starfleet
    • R&D testbeds (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book Three")
    • Wargames scenarios (TNG: "Peak Performance")
• Front-line vessels tend to be officer-heavy as compared to other vessels (TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
• Door functionality
  • Door entry to rooms marked as private provided by relevant entry keyword spoken by the occupant (TNG Novel: A Time for War, A Time for Peace)
    • "Come", "Enter", etc.
