Summary
Compact but capable · Non-standard secondary power coupling · Known weak point
Additional Information
| Description | ENGINEERING — SPLIT-LEVEL DETAIL MAIN FLOOR — DECK LEVEL Primary consoles, EPS relay management, and the secondary power coupling junction — the non-standard one, the known weak point, the one the chief engineer has strong opinions about. The main floor is the working space. Everything that can be done standing up is done here. CORE HOUSING — SUB-LEVEL Below the main floor via a single Jefferies tube — 45-degree angle, approximately 3 meters, no ladder. You climb it or you don't go down. Unlit until the proximity sensor triggers. Large enough to work in, not comfortable to stay in. The chief engineer has taped personal reference notes to the tube wall at intervals — maintenance reminders, coupling tolerances, and a small drawing of unknown significance that predates the current crew. WARP CORE — MODIFIED HYBRID A Maquis-era Federation M/ARA frame with Cardassian power regulation components grafted in. The Federation frame gives structural integrity and familiar antimatter handling protocols. The Cardassian regulators give efficiency — and, critically, repairability. The same supply lines that keep the disruptors running keep the core running. The hybrid configuration means no single parts manifest covers it. The chief engineer carries a personal encrypted inventory because the official one is incomplete and wrong. This is known to the CO. It has not been corrected. The informal inventory is considered more reliable than any document the DZCA would accept as official. |
