Places & Facilities
Also known as: Ares Studio, the Ares bridge set, Lawrenceville studio
Physical production home of the USS Ares bridge and Axanar stage sets — where design choices were built, lit, and filmed for donors and principal photography.
Ares Studios is the production facility associated with Axanar's practical sets, most famously the fully dressed USS Ares bridge. The Society treats the space as both workplace and artifact: consoles, lighting, and graphics systems evolved under volunteer stewardship from reconstruction through principal photography wrap.
