The Briefing Room is where Captain Kathryn Janeway gathers her senior crew to discuss about ship's missions, important matters, and any other issues needing to be discussed. It is a place where the captain can give out orders to her senior crew to give out to their people in their department. The Briefing Room is also used to inform the crew of any new information that has come in during a mission. Meetings held here are also not just to give out orders or give out new information by the captain but to also get some feedback on the current mission from each department and to report anything that has not been reported to the captain yet. Here the captain and the senior crew gather knowledge. Usually the duration of these meetings in the Briefing Room aren't long.

The Briefing Room on the Intrepid-class, USS Voyager NCC-74656, is on Deck one on the left of the bridge. Nearest to the commander's chair is the entrance door to the Briefing Room. Since it is next to the Bridge, it is quite convenient for the captain to call the senior crew for a brief meeting if it was necessary to rethink matters and to discuss about taking another approach if a current plan is not working.

Its main feature is the elliptical-like table and often around the table is about seven chairs surrounding it where the senior members of the crew attend the meetings. At the head of the table is where Captain Kathryn Janeway sits. Behind her is a large arched window with the view of zooming stars passing as the ship travels through space. Either side of the arched windows are silver designs on the walls. The door from the Briefing Room leading to the Bridge is on the left of the captain's seat. There is also an exit out of the Briefing Room on the opposite. Facing the Briefing Room's exit is a wall display console.
