( Star Trek: The Original Series ENT: " In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")īy 2270, most Federation warp cores were redesigned to consist of a large warp core unit in the secondary hull with matter and antimatter channeling into the core through vertical conduits, with the resulting energy directed to the nacelles through a horizontal conduit leading out from the rear of the core. The main warp reaction occurred in a dilithium crystal converter assembly, which consisted of two flattened rounded nodules situated directly in front of and connected to the warp plasma conduits to the warp engines, which were behind a large metal grate. ( Star Trek: Enterprise) In the 23rd century, the warp core was not situated in the main engineering. ( VOY: " Drone")Ģ2nd century warp cores were designed as oblong cylinders connected by pylon conduits directly into the warp nacelles. On Federation starships, the warp core usually consisted of a matter/ antimatter reaction assembly (M/ARA) utilizing deuterium and antideuterium reacting in a dilithium crystal matrix, producing a maximum output of four thousand teradynes per second. ( Star Trek: First Contact VOY: " Friendship One", " Homestead") This in turn led to the event known as First Contact Day, on which the Human species met the Vulcans. The first Terran warp core was invented by Zefram Cochrane in 2061 and used in Humanity's first warp-capable vessel, the Phoenix, in 2063. ( ENT: " Desert Crossing") A less common name for this core was antimatter reactor core. ( ENT: " Cold Front") The reactor had eight major components. During the 22nd century, warp reactors aboard NX-class starships were technically known as the " gravimetric field displacement manifold". Warp core, or warp core reactor, was the common designation for the main energy reactor powering the propulsion system on warp-capable starships.
