The TARDIS is run by a powerful computer which is a sentient organism in its own right. this computer forges a telepathic bond with its primary operator, and is thus made easier to operate in case of minor errors in computation. The link between the Doctor and his TARDIS is particularly strong, and without the aid of his vehicle, he would not have survived his first regeneration. The main control interface for the TARDIS is a hexagonal console located at the center of the Main Control room. The panels are laid out as follows: |
The Panels |
| Panel 1) Auxiliary Support Systems: This controls all life-support, and visual controls for the TARDIS scanner. Also, the control to operate the main doors of the Real World Interface is located on this panel. Located beneath the Life-Support panel is the extending keyboard that operates the defective Chameleon Circuit. |
| Panel 2) Navigation: This station houses the controls for setting the Space/Time co-ordinates, controls necessary to keep the TARDIS on course, and a readout giving the exact location of the TARDIS where it is in Space and Time. |
| Panel 3) The Central Computer Station This station houses the controls for setting the Space/Time co-ordinates, controls necessary to keep the TARDIS on course, and a readout giving the exact location of the TARDIS where it is in Space and Time. |
| Panel 4) Auxiliary Power: This station houses the controls for setting the Space/Time co-ordinates, controls necessary to keep the TARDIS on course, and a readout giving the exact location of the TARDIS where it is in Space and Time. |
| Panel 5) Master Computer Access: This houses the main computer display terminal. All files contained in the TARDIS library computer can be accessed here, and the terminal also displays sensor readings and damage repair status displays. |
| Panel 6) External Sensors: This station controls and monitors all external sensor devices. TARDIS defensive systems are also controlled from here. |
The TARDIS also contains many additional facilities, such as a Sick Bay, Engineering Workshop, Food Replication Terminals, Wardrobe Room, and even a large swimming pool.
The Zero Room was introduced in Castrovalva which helped the Doctor heal after his regeneration RELATED LINKS |
