Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development Regional Office


 * Owner: Federation government
 * Manager: Dr. Judy Eastman-Williams
 * Location: Deck 8



=Background=

Following the 2381 election, the new Federation government endeavored to place some of its bureaucracy in regional offices, in areas too far from the federation core to be served effectively. One such office is the Economics Ministry's new office on Front Ear station, responsible for that region of space.

The physical office is mostly meant as a collaborative workspace for the small team based here.

=Layout=

The office, indicated from the outside by a modest sign, is separated from the busy promenade by a pair of Starfleet standard sliding doors, which lead into a reception room. This room hosts a few chairs, as well as a workspace for the office's secretary.

From reception, a pair of glass sliding doors (manual operation) lead into a large common room. This space boasts a conference table, as well as a number of sofas, and doors that lead into 7 rooms.


 * The kitchen, furnished at the request of Dr. Eastman, is fully equipped. There is a fridge present, as well as a replicator.
 * Apazi Rhidum's office, the smallest private office in the building, is for the lawyer's use. A shared office, with several workstations, is set up for junior personnel.
 * Three larger offices, with windows facing space, for the office's most senior personnel, including Greg Ellis and Judy Eastman.
 * A single bathroom.

=Ambience=

The suite's decor is meant to be cozy but respectable. The couches present throughout, and throw pillows on them, are in relatively muted hues. The wall-to-wall carpets have floral patterns. The walls of common spaces are adorned by the work of local artists, mostly depicting natural scenes.

Doors leading into offices are made of glass, to improve collaboration, albeit at the expense of some privacy.

The smell of home cooking often fills the suite, to no one's surprise.
