![]() ( 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. (covers information from several alternate timelines)
