Chapter 55 - Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCAR) (Patreon)

“Is the defense net’s command-and-control software compatible with LCARS?” LaForge asked, Picard nodding in turn, which told me that he had had the same question.

“The defense net command and control software is fully compatible with the LCARS operating system so any Federation hardware can be used if you desire physical controls. The command-and-control software is also compatible with most known operating systems,” I added for the benefit of the few independent worlds in attendance. “Regarding the controls you see in front of you, this is the default interface control style, which I designed to make the system more user friendly, but again you can use a standard LCARS control layout common to the Federation or Starfleet if you prefer.”
