Deck Twenty-Eight |

|
Located on Deck Twenty Eight is what many call the heart of any
Starship, its engine room. From here
the Engineering staff control and monitor the ship’s warp core and other
energy producing systems. The warp
core operates via a controlled matter/ant-matter reaction that is focused by
a Dilithium crystal. The Chief
Engineer of the ship can be found here when on duty and usually when off-duty
as well. The systems of the ship require constant attention and
maintenance. The table below shows the
various diagnostic procedures preformed by the crew.

As mentioned above a Dilithium Crystal is used to focus and
control a reaction of Matter and Anti-Matter.
The ship’s warp velocity can be controlled by varying the rate of the
reaction and by varying the placement of the crystal. If the |
