Additional Information

Location Deck 2 and 4
Description The number of transporter rooms varied per ship or station, the main criteria being the ability to evacuate all personnel within a specified time. All key components which were needed for transport were fitted in this room and the one just below.
A transporter room was usually manned by a transporter chief. Miles O'Brien was the senior transporter chief for much of the USS Enterprise-D's service. Transporter room three was O'Brien's preferred room. As he left to take up his post on Deep Space 9, Jean-Luc Picard told him it would not be the same without him.
