Changes: Plasma manifold system

Revision as of 11:56, 5 March 2006

A plasma manifold is a component used for delivering power through a starship and starbase (warp-)power distribution system by channeling plasma to the primary systems. The technology is based on the 21st century ion distributor. (VOY: "One Small Step") One component of the plasma manifold is a phase compensator. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

The plasma manifolds of NX class starships require an occasional purging. (ENT: "Unexpected") Klingon birds-of-prey possess more than one plasma manifold; having at least one backup manifold. (DS9: "Return to Grace") Cardassian plasma manifolds use a beta-matrix compositor. The Federation is unable to replicate this sort of technology but, however, is able to replicate replacements for their own starships. (DS9: "Empok Nor"; VOY: "One Small Step")

If a replicator power converter is crossed with the plasma manifold there is a great chance the plasma relay would explode, although this did not always happen. (DS9: "Defiant")
