  STAR WARS: Bridge Towers
Assuming that this room actually is the bridge, or at least that the bridge resembles it, then it agrees well with the apparent absence of large windows in the external views of the front of the bridge tower.
The occurrence of multiple bridges on this ship's tower face may mean that the vessel is an important flagship or communications vessel which nonetheless lacks potential bridge sites elsewhere on the ship, unlike the Executor with its expansive city-like dorsal cortex.
In all ships each of the two crew pits is staffed by a minimum of: six crewmen (light grey overalls, olive cap); two subofficers (fl tunic and pants, fl cap, white shoulder emblem); one officer (olive tunic and pants, olive cap).

 Bridge (ship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bridge of a ship is an area or room where the ship's navigational controls and other essential equipment related to ship operations are housed and operated.
The bridge is especially useful when the ship is to be brought against a dock as it will usually extend out far enough so that the entire side of the ship may be viewed.
When a ship is underway, the ship's captain or a senior officer is on the bridge at all times to maintain command and control.

 Broadway Bridge (US 9)
The new bridge, which opened on January 1, 1895, was a single-deck steel swing span that imitated the design of the Madison Avenue Bridge.
The New York City Department of Bridges determined that the existing structure would not be able to handle an extension of the IRT subway along the bridge, and ordered design work to begin on a replacement span.
Designed as a dual-deck steel swing span, the 1,600-ton bridge had a 266-foot-long swing span that accommodated a 35-foot-wide roadway and two sidewalks on its lower deck, and three subway tracks (carried within three sets of dual beams) on its upper deck.

 FULL MISSION BRIDGE SIMULATOR
Responses to changes in rudder position and speed control produces changes in a ship’s course and speed with delays and movement that correctly reflects the performance and response of the vessel being simulated.
For example, if a large container ship is being simulated, the response to a hard to starboard helm order would experience the same delay and rate of turn as the real ship would, and the vessel would heel over.
As a ship’s speed increase, the engine room sound increases the same that would be heard on the type of ship that is being simulated.
