	Saucer separation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Star Trek fictional universe, saucer separation is used to describe the procedure whereby the saucer section of certain Starfleet starship types disengages from the stardrive section.
		In early drafts of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the USS Enterprise was to separate its saucer section while confronting V'ger, and the separation line indicated in concept art is clearly visible on the connecting dorsal of the finished model, but this scene was scrapped.
		Carrying all the non-essential personnel, the saucer section could depart the battle area; meanwhile, the stardrive section (controlled from the battle bridge, an auxiliary command centre in the stardrive section) could engage the enemy with a minimal complement.

	Primary hull - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
		The primary hull (also known as the saucer section or saucer module on some classes) is a major component of the overall hull structure.
		Ships capable of saucer separation were designed for this purpose in order to have the primary hull serve as a lifeboat for the crew in the event of catastrophic damage to the warp core or a loss of antimatter containment.
		Saucer sections on some starships, like the Galaxy class, are even equipped to make planetfall and landing, although not all are designed to return to space following a landing.

		The saucer section is shaped almost perfectly round, with the height roughly a third of the diameter.
		For the saucer section alone, the velocities are warp 3.0, and 4.51 respectively.
		The Saucer section emergency nacelles cannot be used during vessel seperation for longer than six hours at cruising speed, and 40 minutes at emergency velocity, for fuel consideration reasons.

		Short sections of foam were cut with the grain running toward the outside edge of the saucer.
		A very short section of insulation from some CAT5 network cable was cut and placed around the screw near its head to prevent the screw from accidentally making contact against the brass washer when the screw was unscrewed a little to open the switch.
		Adding the cone section after the top and bottom of the dish were joined was slightly difficult due to the curvature of the dish surface.

		At this point you will want to start drilling all of those tiny little holes on the sides of the lower saucer section, the larger holes on the upper and lower section of the saucer section, and the windows that are on the "face" of the upper portion of the saucer.
		The placements I chose allow light to shine to the edges of the saucer section (which illuminates the running lights), to the impulse engine domes (both top and bottom), and lastly aft towards the impulse engines, docking lights, aft running lights and the shuttle bay areas.
		This is also a good time to place the two halves of the saucer section together to make sure you have plenty of clearance for the bulbs and also to check for any "leaks" where you might have light shining through in places where you don't intend for it to.

		In order to accommodate the brass-mounting rod carefully drill a hole in the lower saucer section exactly 55 millimeters from the center of the lower impulse drive dome that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the rod.
		Use the rod to score and mark the surface on the inside of the upper saucer section.
		Line up the upper and lower sections of the saucer section and seal them together using the clothes pins, rubber bands, and in my case the C clamps on the aft section.

		Without the bulk of the saucer the stardrive section was much more maneuverable, in theory giving it a significant combat advantage over a saucer-equipped Galaxy.
		In practice, however, this operation is somewhat unwieldy on the Galaxy class and leaves the saucer (which does not have an independent warp drive) extremely vulnerable to attack.
		The scientific and diplomatic sections were removed in favor of increased armament and power for the weapons.

	Inflatable saucer toy with shape holders and weights - Patent 4466212
		The saucer of the instant invention is adapted from the original Inflatable Saucer and utilizes novel shape holding features which serve to maintain an ideal aerodynamic profile when the saucer is inflated or even overinflated to some extent.
		1 depicts a cross section view of the device showing a mouth valve located in the central underside, and a shape holding ring in the upper dome in the vicinity of the upper lip along with a shape holding ring located on the lower dome in the vicinty of the inside lip section.
		At the juncture of the inside lip section and the lower dome section is a shape holding ring 22, which is integral with the saucer.

		The Saucer Module RCS consists of four main and four auxiliary engines located on the hull edge; the two remaining main engines and ten venier thrusters make up the Battle Section RCS and are located outboard of the main deflector dish.
		SIF reinforcement of the saucer framework is believed necessary to avoid exceeding saucer structural limits during atmospheric entry of a Class M planet.
		In benign flight situations, the Battle Section may conduct separate operations with a relatively low proportion of defense-oriented crew members, though the actual options list is limited due to the risks and vehicle stress associated with repeated undockings and redockings.

	Emergency Landing of Saucer Section
		Although Starfleet personnel are trained in landing a saucer module it is a maneuver that is rarely performed, not least because of the stresses put upon the saucer section on impact with the planet surface.
		1: After all crew members have been safely evacuated to the saucer section from the drive and battle sections, 18 docking latches disengage and the saucer detaches from the rest of the Enterprise.
		With a warp core breach imminent, the saucer must quickly distance itself from the battle section to avoid the massive explosion that is to follow.

		The crew were forced to evacuate the drive section and separate the saucer section after a battle with a Klingon Bird-of-Prey commanded by the Duras sisters.
		As long as the saucer section had time to reach a safe distance, casualties could be kept to a minimum.
		The landing was far from smooth, as teh saucer section was caught in a huge shockwave and sent hurtling toward the planet.

		In separated flight mode, this allows both sections (saucer and stardrive) to be fully warp capable.
		Where the saucer section is essentially an escape pod on other ship classes, the Kelly class uses the saucer to increase firepower and tactical options.
		The stardrive section has a three forward and one aft configuration, while the saucer section mounts one launcher at each of the four cardinal points.

		Seven of these are mounted in the large roll bar pod, 5 facing forwards; the remaining eight are located in the saucer section, two of which face directly out to port and starboard, an unique feature in a Starfleet vessel.
		There are two large shuttle bays in the saucer section, one at the forward edge of the saucer section and one at the rear.
		Saucer section separation mechanism is rejected and redesigned.

		These Phaser arrays, located on the upper and lower saucer, between the saucer and main hull, and on the main hull, are the new and improved versions of the Type X phasers featured on the Galaxy and Intrepid classes.
		The launchers are located below and to either side of the saucer section (2), in the front of the battle section (2), and at the aft of the battle section (2).
		When the ship is not seperated, the saucer's main deflector acts as a conduit for the weapon, allowing power from the saucer's warp core to be channeled into the weapon, boosting its power.

		During an extreme emergency, the saucer section was designed to be jettisoned from the secondary hull and act as a large life boat for the crew.
		One bank is located in the lower forward section of the saucer covering the forward arc while the second and third banks are on the upper saucer section covering the forward-port and forward-starboard arcs respectively.

	Starship Modeler - USS Prometheus Kit Preview
		The kit is made up of three large pieces, a triangular "saucer" section, and the split secondary hull allowing you to display it as 3 separate battle ships or as one complete starship.
		The primary "saucer" section has four smaller pieces to create the complete Alpha ship, these consist of two small warp nacelles with pylons, another nacelle without a pylon and a extension block that fits over the bottom for when the Alpha ship is in its separate component.
		I couldn't find any air bubbles on the "saucer" section but some small amount of flash exists along the edges and will need to be cleaned, but overall this piece is highly detailed, the lines and raised components are sharp and straight.

		And exploring the unexplored territories and encountering brand new life that could be hostile, the emergency separation of the Saucer is an important feature.
		At the least the destruction of the Saucer would buy the crew time to escape home in the Warp Ship, which is capable of Warp five with the Saucer, and maybe more without.
		But if the ship could split in two, and being a proto-type first, the destruction of one section unexpectedly within a season would be incredibly dramatic.

		Galaxy-class ships have the ability to separate their saucer section from the stardrive section, making them one of the fleet’s most versatile classes.
		Saucer separation is generally employed so that the saucer section—which contains most of the crew—can remain in relative safety while the star drive (or battle) section goes into battle or other hazardous situations.
		Saucer separation can only be attempted at sub-light speeds and not while the ship is at warp speed.

	Emergency Saucer Separation
		In extreme situations, the saucer sections, the saucer section can even land on the surface of a planet.
		The warp core is located in the drive section, allowing the crew to evacuate to the saucer section and safely isolate themselves from the rest of the ship.
		As long as the saucer section safely distances itself from the explosion shockwave, it is then capable of traveling under its own engines to a nearby Starbase, and crew casualties are minimized.

	Star Trek: Victory Specifications
		On the Galaxy Class, saucer separation was intended to allow all non-essential personnel to evacuate to the Saucer Section, which would then separate and be left behind while the Stardrive Section went into a dangerous situation.
		Therefore, the saucer section, which on any other Starfleet class is referred to as the Primary Hull, is actually the Tertiary Hull on the Victory, since it's the weakest section.
		As the saucer separates from the Primary Hull, the two small nacelles extend out from their protective pockets, in order to create a more efficient warp field than they would be able to from inside the pockets.

		The producers were concerned with the main bridge, Probert always believe the it is important to have the interiors match the exteriors, so he brought in one of the sketches he felt was working and pinned it up on the wall so he could analyze it as he worked on the ship's nerve center.
		When I showed this to them they said, 'No, no. What'll happen is the saucer separared and the engineering hull then becomes the battle section.' So I have this dorsal sculpted into the saucer and now I have to seperate that and still make it look good both ways, which was an extraordinary chanllenge.
		I'm going from the saucer doral curving forward into the saucer and then I was going from the pylons curving forward into the nacelles.

		After crash-landing on Veridian III, the saucer section of the GALAXY class USS Enterprise-D was to be broken down and removed from the surface of the planet in accordance with Prime Directive regulations.
		The saucer could be removed from the surface mostly intact as a relatively new hull capable of at least serving as a test article.
		It was then realized that the Enterprise-D saucer, which had been structurally refit to space worthiness over the past eight years and already contained most of the new technology, could be docked with a unfinished stardrive section from another Galaxy that had just been laid down, the last of the original twelve space frames.

		Given that this manoeuvre is carried out using 24th century technology, and that Data states that it is theoretically possible to detach the saucer section at high warp velocity (although never tried, and there is no margin for error), I don't think this is really a nitpick.
		Technically, the ship doesn't move at all, space does, so if something like the saucer section fell out of the warp bubble presumably it would simply stop folding space beneath it and come to a rest in whatever part of space was around it at the time.
