Additional Information
Notes: In addition to its assigned compliment of Security personnel, USS Rhodes is currently home to the I Corps 100th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). The 100th MEU is a battalion-sized unit, presently comprised of the following subordinate units:


 * One Headquarters & Support Company


 * Two Rifle Companies (Alpha & Bravo Companies)


 * One Special Forces Company (Charlie Company)

In addition, all Pulsar-class Vessels are equipped with Saucer 'Modules' instead of one solid saucer section. This allows for mission equipment customization at major starbase layover.

To facilitate continuity of operations, Rhodes is equipped with a fully staffed field based 1st Expeditionary Fleet operations office. The 1st Expeditionary Fleet Field Office is located at the heart of Deck 27, repurposing a large portion of the deck otherwise utilized for cargo, and consists of the following facilities:


 * Dedicated office for the Deputy Fleet Commander and a standby facility for the Fleet Commander.


 * Strategic Operations Command Center from which all Fleet activities can be monitored and coordinated. This is separate from the ship specific Strategic Operations office located on Deck 29.


 * Diplomatic Conference Center with a dedicated entrance for diplomatic functions. The facility includes a large lobby area which through the use of holography appears to span several decks, a massive reception hall (suitable for any major and important gathering and ready for modifications both physical and holographic to make it appropriate for any occasion), and 14 conference rooms of varying size.
 * Direct encryped subspace link to DS13 and any ship in the Fleet.
