Library Computer Access and Retrieval System

The Library Computer Access and Retrieval System ( LCARS for short) was the main computer system employed by the United Federation of Planets by the mid- 24th century . It was used aboard all Starfleet vessels, starbases , and space stations . ( Star Trek: The Next Generation ; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ; Star Trek: Voyager ; Star Trek: Picard )

Interfaces [ ]

A standard LCARS display circa 2379

LCARS was accessible virtually anywhere in a facility or starship by both voice and keypad commands via control interfaces . These interfaces included bridge stations, consoles , PADDs , tricorders , and desk computers. Typically, these were graphical controls housed underneath touch-sensitive clear panels that could be quickly reconfigured by users to suit the task at hand. There were also tactile interfaces for visually-impaired officers. ( TNG : " Encounter at Farpoint ", " The Vengeance Factor ", " The Host ", " Half a Life "; VOY : " Year of Hell ")

A holographic LCARS display circa 2399

By 2399 , Starfleet had begun deploying three-dimensional holographic interfaces for the LCARS system aboard Federation starships and installations. Civilian craft such as La Sirena also had access to this technology. However, even by 2401 , touch-only interfaces remained the de-facto standard aboard Federation starships, such as the USS Stargazer , and USS Titan -A . ( Star Trek: Picard )

Operation [ ]

LCARS used sophisticated subroutines in order to understand and execute vocal natural language commands. This enabled even complicated tasks to be executed with just a few commands in the case of voice or button presses in the case of keypad commands. LCARS controlled the retrieval and storage of files in the data banks housed within the ship's computer cores including logs like personal logs or transporter logs , element and chemical compound data and data on archaeological artifacts . ( TNG : " Contagion ", " Dark Page ", " Man Of The People ", " Night Terrors ", " Qpid ") It was used to retrieve files in external databases like when a ship needs to assess traffic control around starbases or investigate inventory databases of surplus depots. ( TNG : " Birthright, Part II ", " Unification I ") It was also used for command system access and for viewing the crew manifest . ( TNG : " Brothers ", " Conundrum ") It was also used to display recently recorded data like medical scans, tactical scans and sensor scans. ( TNG : " Ethics ", " Interface ", " Descent ", " Relics ", " Genesis ") It displayed results of analyses like linguistic analyses, configuration analyses of system networks, and magnetic flux density analyses. ( TNG : " Masks ", " Attached ", " Power Play ")

LCARS retained the same basic layout and design across Federation starships and installations, however, a few variations in the color schemes can be noticed.

During normal operations, LCARS color schemes could alternate between a wide ranges of colors, such as tans, purples, and yellows, in addition to blues, aquas, and oranges. ( Star Trek: The Next Generation ; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ; Star Trek: Voyager ; Star Trek: Picard )

A display monitor showing the red alert color scheme

During emergencies or special operations, LCARS color schemes were updated to reflect the current alert status, such as red or blue alerts . When these alerts were called, LCARS interfaces switched to either a red/white or blue/white scheme, respectively. ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ; Star Trek: Voyager ; Star Trek Generations ; Star Trek: First Contact ; Star Trek Nemesis )

In the alternate timeline of the anti-time future around 2395 , LCARS was still used and similar in appearance to its mid- 24th century version. ( TNG : " All Good Things... ")

Background information [ ]

LCARS interfaces are seen in almost every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: Voyager . The interfaces seen in Star Trek: The Original Series are never named and their designs are quite different.

A close-up view of one of the science stations aboard the Enterprise -D in "The Vengeance Factor" has the label "Library Computer Subsystems". [1] The full name "Library Computer Access and Retrieval System" can be seen in several episodes, including " The Price ", " The Measure Of A Man ", and " Conundrum ". The phrase "library computer access and retrieval" is spoken in " Encounter at Farpoint ".

TNG-style LCARS displays in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

The sickbay used in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a minor redress of the TNG sickbay, and the LCARS panels on the wall are barely altered, so this could be the first LCARS appearance. They also appear in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country just below the warp core, but they do not appear in the 23rd century portion of Star Trek Generations .

According to a Next Generation episode text commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda , the LCARS displays were rarely actual computer simulations; one such example was the computer screen used by Romulan Commander Sela to monitor the Federation fleet during her attempt to smuggle weapons and supplies to Lursa and B'Etor during the Klingon civil war in the episode " Redemption II ". This was (according to the Okudas) due to both the high cost and primitive state of computer graphics in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Therefore, most LCARS displays were, in fact, plastic panels with spinning light devices behind them to give the impression that the information on the "displays" was changing.

In the first two seasons of The Next Generation , large black rectangles are clearly visible on the LCARS displays on the bridge (and sometimes in main engineering). This was a result of the studio lights reflecting off the displays, which director of photography Edward R. Brown tried to solve by sticking cardboard onto them. When Brown was replaced by Marvin V. Rush for the third season, a number of changes in filming (including better film stock and a smaller number of lights) allowed the LCARS displays to be seen properly. [2]

LCARS as seen in the DS9 CD Companion

The interface was updated for Star Trek: Picard by a team that included playback supervisor Martin Garner , creative director Chris Kieffer , and designer Andrew Jarvis . [3] The new palette used in season one included the hex triplet values: E7442A, 9EA5BA, 6D748C, 2F3749, and 111419. [4]

Apocrypha [ ]

The LCARS layout has been used in several computer games and applications such as the CD-ROM version of the Star Trek Encyclopedia , as well as the TNG and DS9 CD-ROM Companions. The LCARS layout is also used on the Star Trek PADD app for the Apple iPad .

The main screen

After you have clicked on the logo or the text link "Login" on the LCARS overview page , the main screen of the Star Trek Dimension LCARS terminal will be displayed after a short time of loading. Its functions enable you to view all LCARS files and, moreover, allow searching the database, working with cross links and accessing data from the various sub databases. Please activate the "fullscreen" feature of your browser in order to make your experience even more realistic.

The functions

As mentioned, the menu provides you with five different database functions (plus "logoff", of course), so that you are given a great number of access- and retrieval functions. You will learn here more about these possibilities, and how they work.

The LCARS pages

The LCARS pages themselves have a standardized layout which is very similiar to the original screen display of The Next Generation, Voyager and Deep Space Nine in terms of colors and general composition. The files are structured strictly hierarchically and contain tables and lists as well as text descriptions. Of course you will find plenty of diagrams, photos, mini pictures and sounds as well. Generally, headings are printed purple, key words and sub headings yellow and normal text white. As there no "links" as such in the 24th century, they are usually also white and become only visible by putting the mouse cursor on them. Some mini pictures contain links to related pages as well. You can navigate through the page(s) with the up to 6 buttons displayed in the left area of the tree-like LCARS structure. As you might notice, the display area does not have a scroll bar (what would be another unwanted Windows element), however, this function is emulated by the two red buttons marked with arrows. Use them just as the arrow buttons of the Windows scroll bar in order to scroll through the page. Depending on the sub database, you will find up to four cross references to topic related pages between the scroll buttons. The content of those pages should become clear because of the labels of the cross reference buttons: "Exterior" will show you the exterior view of a ship or space facility, "Interior" an interior view, "Technical" further technical specifications etc.

Wawelberg Building

The Wawelbergs were a Polish-Jewish family who settled in St. Petersburg in the 1840s. In 1869, Hyppolite Wawelberg founded the Wawelberg Bank, which operated in Russia and Poland and gained rapid success as the main lender to the government of Congress Poland. Hyppolite's son, Michael Wawelberg, took over his father's company in 1903, and in 1912 it was renamed the St. Petersburg Commercial Bank, an accurate reflection of the company's stature and wealth. Although the company was nationalized in Russia by the Bolsheviks, and the Wawelberg family consequently lost their control, its Polish subsidiary Bank Zachodni ("Western Bank") is still one of the country's main banks today.

In 1910, Michael Wawelberg bought the buildings and land at 7-9, Nevsky Prospekt. Originally owned by the Bernikovs, a family of wealthy merchants, it was the site in the early 19th century of St. Petersburg's first English pub, prop. Thomas Roby. The competition for designs for a new building was won by Marian Peretyatkovich, a young architect of Polish ancestry, whose plans incorporated the latest in reinforced concrete technology and drew on Italian renaissance themes as a homage to the birthplace of modern banking. The sculptural decorations on the building were provided by Vasily Kozlov and Leopold Dietrich, who would later become famous for pioneering the monumental public monuments of Socialist Realism.

For most of the Soviet period, the Wawelberg Building was used as St. Petersburg's Airstation, Leningrad citizens could buy air tickets and catch buses to the airport. Many locals still refer to it as the "Aeroflot Building", although the ground floor is now occupied by cafes, and there are plans to turn the whole building into a boutique hotel.
