A holosuite uses transporter technology to create holographic images in much the same way that a holodeck does. However, holosuites are in wider use than holodecks and are not limited to starships. There is also more variation in holosuite design than holodecks. The Ferengi entrepreneur Plegg is credited with designing the first holosuite and is responsible for its subsequent spread across the galaxy.

Generally, holosuites are intended for individual or small group usage. Aboard the Akira Class starship, there are ten holosuites.
