Matter-Antimatter Reactor

The warp core uses controlled matter-antimatter reactions to generate the enormous power required for warp drive and ship operations. Magnetic confinement keeps the antimatter isolated until it's injected into the reaction chamber where it meets matter in a precisely controlled annihilation reaction.The resulting energy is channeled through plasma conduits to power ship systems. Dilithium crystals regulate the reaction rate and convert the energy into usable forms. Emergency protocols can eject the warp core if containment fails.
