The Throne is a large, flying cruiser deployed by CLU as the focal point in his reign over the Grid. It builds on design principles apparent in the Recognizers, having a similar speed, although it is much larger with a long, flattened design. The cruiser's command deck serves as Clu's personal bridge, with a single workstation and windows offering an extensive view of the surrounding area. An adjoining operations room contains four other workstations, as well as four security stations for sentries to guard the entrances to operations and the command deck. The workstations in operations are strategically sensitive enough to warrant individual blast shields for their occupants, which drop to sheathe their wards in sturdy, transparent cylinders when triggered. A pedestal in Clu's bridge serves as an interface to house and link to Kevin Flynn's Identity Disc, which would then enable the cruiser to cross through the portal to the real world. This facility is extended to a docked Carrier Ship below by way of a ventrally mounted docking interface.
