Typically, the "conn" of a starship, be it a Battlestar or otherwise, is the collective name for the helm controls- yaw, pitch, and roll.

The conn may also be the actual control or command of the ship, and is used metaphorically- that is, the conn in this instance is no one station or console, but is the actual command at a given time and may be held by any officer designated by the Commanding Officer or Officer of the Deck, usually in a manner such as:

"You have the conn." (Barry Garner to Lee Adama, The Captain's Hand)
