Topic: Warp core breach


  
  Warp core breach - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
A warp core breach is a catastrophic failure of a starship's warp core.
Warp core ejection is a common method of dealing with a breach, although this is considered a last ditch effort and often fails.
Warp core breaches have been deliberately performed; Q purposefully caused the core aboard the Enterprise-D to breach in 2369 and Geordi La Forge caused a breach of the Enterprise-E's warp core in 2375 to seal a subspace tear caused by an isolytic burst - the core having been ejected from the ship prior to detonation.

 Warp Thery
This warp field is carefully shaped with a level central region over the ship itself, then tapering off into normal space in what is called the interaction region.
Inside the warp nacelles, a reacting stream of matter and antimatter is maintained in a continuous, shaped path to create the fields.
Warp nacelles are usually not directly attached to the engineering hull so as to provide an optimum shape of the warp field.

 Myths About Warp Drive
During the race the Flyer's warp core was sabutaged by a terrorist who wanted to destroy a new peace between two of the races participating in the race.
In this case the core was sabotage by the rigging a fuel injector to leak veridium isotopes into the core.
This incedent does suggest that the core might be unstable considering that not one hit was seen to impact the warp core.

A warp core breach occurs when a starship's matter and antimatter reactant fuels combine in an uncontrolled manner due to a failure of the ship's warp core (TNG: "Contagion").

 Borderlands: Star Trek PBEM RPG - a free online RPG game
In the 23rd century, the warp factor WF was calculated as follows: WF=(v/c)^1/3, where v is the speed of the signal or starship, c=3*10^8m/s the light speed and ^1/3 denotes the cubic root.
Above Warp 9, the two scales diverge significantly, and the old Warp 10 speed is 1000c, whereas it is infinite for the new warp table.
A warp field does not seem to be much different from a subspace field, and the transition from one to the other is continuous, as is indicated by the energy vs. warp factor diagram.

 FSD: Starship Operations - Warp Core Ejection
A warp core breach is an extremely dangerous situation, so a number of safety procedures are in place to deal with such an eventuality.
As the core will probably still be unstable, the crew have to perform repairs before locking on a tractor beam and reconnecting the core to the engineering systems.
If the warp core is salvageable, it is a relativately simple process to recover it using a shuttle or a tractor beam.

 USS Terra Nova Tour - Main Engineering
The core is constructed from a central translucent aluminum and duranium reactor with dilithium articulation frame, four-lobed magnetic constriction segment columns, and matter and antimatter injectors.
Plasma transfer conduits exit the core on Deck 3 and extend laterally to the nacelles and the warp plasma injectors.
The basic structure of the nacelles is similar to that of the remainder of the starship, however, the entire length of the nacelle housing is augmented with longitudinal stiffeners composed of cobalt cortenide to protect against high levels of warp-induced stress.

In the Star Trek fictional universe, a warp core breach is a serious malfunction that can occur on starships, resulting in loss of the ship, and possibly loss of life.
A warp core breach occurs when containment is lost between matter and anti-matter, allowing the two to combine in an uncontrolled manner.
If this happens, the warp core could be ejected from the ship, or if possible, a saucer separation maneuver could be performed (if this feature was present on that particular starship).

Warp drive is one of several types of faster than light propulsive drives employed by the races of the Milky Way galaxy.
The aforementioned plasma from the warp core enters the nacelle from the main EPS conduits or secondary conduits; which are used in emergencies; and the plasma enters the nacelle and is passed through the warp coils, transferring some of the plasma’s energy into subspace, creating subspace fields to form.
Federation warp cores also are susceptible to tachyon feedback surges when tachyons are emitted through their ships’ navigational deflectors.

 Warp Core Breach   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A Warp Core is a chamber where matter and antimatter mix under a situation that, instead of mutually destroying each other and the rest of creation, generate usable energy in the form of plasma.
Here, the Warp Core will usually breach because of the massive beating your Cuisinart, with all the defensive strength of a wet squirrel, has taken at the hands of a massive Breen Megacruiser, much in the same manner as hitting soft-boiled egg with a wheelbarrow.
In the event of an imminent warp core breach, there is a small window of time in which you can eject the warp core from the ship and into deep space whereupon you can safely manuver, on impulse drive, away from the impending explosion.

 The Starfleet Museum - Wasp Class
Accordingly, separation procedures were modified to include application of impulse thrusters in the engineering hull to propel it and the warp core a safe distance from the command hull.
Starfleet recognized that the safety of the crew could be ensured both during and after explosion of the warp core only by duplicating or transferring the impulse drive, including its fusion generator, to the command hull.
Further aft were the warp core and antimatter storage bottles, which could only be reached by access panels and refueling ports on the outside of the hull.

All nonessential personnel could be evacuated to the saucer module, away from the drive section that housed the warp core.
The saucer section is only powered by impulse engines, with the warp nacelles located on the stardrive section, released at warp however the saucer will travel on momentum for a short while.

 Star trek free online RPG game - BORDERLANDS: DFA Cromwell
The engineering hull was able to use its warp drive whilst separated, not simply as an emergency measure for a few seconds or minutes but as a viable interstellar drive system.
The efficiency of a warp core is in part dependant on its height - the longer a core is, the more accurately the matter and antimatter streams can be controlled.
During normal operation matter is fed in at the top of the core and antimatter at the bottom, as in any normal warp core.

The primary core is located in the center of decks 3, 4, and 5 of the saucer section, with the smaller back up core in the center aft of the secondary hull in deck-12.
During a warp core breach, the core is ejected through a service hatch directly aft from the Mariner's secondary hull.
The warp core for the Mariner is rated at 900 cochranes with a max velocity of TOS-Warp-9.6 for 12 hours, a max sustainable velocity of TOS-Warp-8.5, and a cruising speed of TOS-Warp-5.5.

Warp cores can use other sources of energy besides a MARA, such as an artificial singularity.
A technological solution was found, involving the warp engines on the USS Voyager, in which the warp nacelles were slanted to prevent damage to subspace, which is why the warp nacelles move up before Voyager procceds into warp.

The timeframe is incredibly slow; so slow that they can see a warp core breach in progress later in the episode (let's just say it's 1 million times slower for the sake of argument, although you can substitute whatever large number you like).
DATA: It is the flashpoint of a warp core explosion.
There is no conceivable reason why the first sign of a core breach would be a gas leak; the speed at which gas (even high temperature gas) escapes from a hole in the reactor would be infinitesimal compared to the speed at which the intense radiation of the matter/antimatter reaction affects its environment.

In Trek lore, a warp core breach was a major fucking disaster: when the starship's engine, the warp core, was damaged, the ship was only moments away from blowing up in a spectacular special effect.
I heeded the warning and separated from the Warp Core before it was too late; Rob gallantly, or, rather, unknowingly, stayed behind to finish the job himself.

The episode merely establishes that the ship is travelling at Warp 9.9 at one particular moment, and states that "this vessel is designed to go faster than anything in the fleet".
The warp core layout was largely suggested by Robert, as was the ship's relationship to the Defiant and Sovereign.
That the engineering hulls have one large core which splits in two comes from the CGI model of the ship - the split warp core can clearly be seen in close up views of the ship from backstage sources.
