MATTER/ANTIMATTER REACTION ASSEMBLY

	As the warp propulsion system is the heart of the USS Enterprise, the 
matter/antimatter reaction assembly (M/ARA) is the heart of the warp 
propulsion system. The M/ARA is variously called the warp reactor, warp 
engine core, or main engine core. Energy produced within the core is shared 
between its primary application, the propulsion of the starship, and the raw 
power requirements of other major ship systems. The M/ARA is the principal 
power-generating system because of the 10¤ times greater energy output of 
the matter/antimatter reaction over that of standard fusion, as found in the 
impulse propulsion system.
	The M/ARA consists of four subsystems: reactant injectors, magnetic 
constriction segments, matter/antimatter reaction chamber, and power 
transfer conduits.  Æ
