![]() ![]() ( Star Trek: The Animated Series)īy 2270, most Federation warp cores were redesigned to consist of a large verticle warp core unit, doing away with the older obsolete horizontal cores. This new component allowed for increased power generation, and a large upgrade of the older horizontal mixing warp cores. A new vertical segment was added to the dilithium crystal converter in Main Engineering, marking the transition to a new age of Starfleet warp core design. In 2269, Federation warp cores had gained a radical upgrade. On some ships such as the Crossfield and Constitution-classes, the warp core was not located in main engineering and was instead located in the dilithium energizer room, separate from main engineering ( ENT: " In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" TOS: " That Which Survives", " The Alternative Factor") Twenty-third century warp cores varied in design, but still had the matter-antimatter reaction occur horizontally until at least 2269. ![]() Twenty-second 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. ![]() The internal location of a Galaxy-class warp core ( 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: " Cold Front") A less common name for this core was antimatter reactor core. 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.
