once converted to a subatomic matter stream the transporter is diverted into a pattern buffer. This is due to the Doppler effect (any relative motion between transporter and target must be taken into account). The pattern buffer is used for Doppler shift compensation. A buffer may hold the entire matter stream for up to 420 seconds before permanent pattern degradation occurs. Once beamout is secured, an ACB “carrier” directs each pattern’s matter stream through an emitter array on the hull of the ship, toward the target coordinates. A booster set of coils and scanners then work in reverse within the ACB to reassemble each pattern into its original form. These arrays work in such a way as to provide 360 degree coverage in all directions, as well as intraship transports. The ACB can be used to remove weapons and other “non desirable” items from incoming transporters, and the transporter’s biofilter automatically detects and removes all active forms of known harmful viruses and diseases.

Propulsion (Impulse)

The impulse engines utilize collector arrays, situated in the foresections of the ship’s wings, to gather available energy of any type from the surrounding space, which is then filtered through a series of energy replicators, where it is changed into the deuterium atoms needed to cause the fusion reaction that powers the impulse drive unit.

At full impulse speed, the ship is traveling at 1/4 light speed, or 125,000 km/sec. If it wasn’t for the inertial damping systems, at those speeds most creatures would be torn apart…including Klingons.

Inertial Dampers

This system uses warp technology to generate a limited “soap bubble” effect, which falsifies a planetary atmospheric environment. There are set openings in the “bubble” at the impulse ports, allowing the impulse engines to push the ship along without gravitational/impact damage to the interior and crew.

Inertial dampers are on a continuous setting of 50% to allow for unexpected impacts, advancing as the impulse engines/tractor beams are activated, or impact happens.

Impulse sequence is as follows:

Impulse Engines 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%

Inertial Dampers 50% 70% 90% 100%

Propulsion (warp)

The warp drive unit allows for faster-than-light travel without the time dilation and matter density problems involved in traveling “near light” to light speeds. Inside the warp core, deuterium gasses and antimatter in the form of antihydrogen, regulated and controlled by dilithium crystals, are forced together, causing a small controlled matter/antimatter explosion, which is contained within the reaction chamber of the main warp core. The explosion creates an energy stream, which is collected by power converters and routed via conduit to the warp nacelles. Inside the nacelles the routed plasma is used to energize the verterium cortenide warp field generators. Verterium cortenide causes the plasma frequencies to shift into subspace, creating fields of warped space. The field coils inside the nacelles are arranged in rows, each layer exerting controlled force against its outermost neighboring coil. The cumulative force of the nested fields drives the ship on a spatial wave. The coils are energized in sequential order, the number of times each coil is energized controls the overall warp speed factor of the vessel.

Dilithium Crystals

Dilithium is currently the only matter known to be porous to antimatter. Each individual crystal is a crystalline latticework composed of dilithium, diallosilicate, and heptoferranide. When diverted through the crystal, antimatter remains at a centralized distance from all sides of the latticework. Sonic vibration is used to expand and contract the
