The Black Hawk carries 4 Multi-Purpose Laboratories (or simply Labs) on Deck 20. These are work areas allow for observation and experimentation in the various disciplines, including science, medical and engineering.

Furthering our knowledge of ourselves and the galaxy around us has always been at the heart of Starfleet. The accepted idiom at Starfleet Command has always been "the more labs the better", and save for the smallest of ship classes, that is the case. Each ship and station is considered a big scientific research platform and that requires a lot of space. Designers, engineers, and administrators alike go through great pains to ensure that these labs are not only state-of-the-art, but also extremely safe and work-friendly.

These can be modified in an endless number of ways with relative ease, including combining two or more labs for more space or flexibility, depending on the situation.

Items found in these labs include (but are not limited to):

• Replicators
• holgraphic emitters
• containment fields
• sealed environmental systems
• dedicated sensor pallets
• multi-function diagnostic equipment
