Warp Core

Main energy reactor powering the propulsion system on warp-capable starships;

Also provided the primary energy supply for the ships other electronic systems

Consisted of a matter/antimatter reaction assembly;

Utilized deuterium & antideuterium reacting in a dilithium crystal matrix;

This reaction produced a highly energetic plasma, called warp plasma

As a safety precaution, the core could be physically ejected from the ship
