A hidden and exposed view of a duck blind.


"Duck blind", a term that originated on Earth, is used in the 25th Century to describe the scientific method of observing pre-warp civilizations using holographic technology.


Cultural observation posts are created so that Federation scientists can preserve the Prime Directive while investigating the development of other cultures.


The amount of power required for a duck blind is typically created by a fusion reactor capable of outputting 4.2 gigawatts.
They usually have at least three holographic emitters, with masking fields to aid the isolation suits required for wear.
