The Station Commander's Office was a room adjacent to the operations center on Deep Space 9. Similar to ready rooms found on starships, the area served as an office for the commanding officer of the station. The Cardassians placed the office so that those working in ops would have to look up with respect towards the office. There were two entrances to the office, one that opened into the operations center, as well as another side entrance that allowed people access to the office without requiring them to walk through the operations center.
