Starfleet records: Warp drive. Parts of the system (12). Propulsion technology. Plasma injector (part 1): A plasma injector is a component of a starship's warp drive system, the EPS, which propels drive plasma into the warp coils. Throttles regulate the flow of this plasma into the injectors. Sources: DS9: "Captive Pursuit"; TNG: "Booby Trap", display graphic. If the antimatter reaction rate on an Intrepid-class vessel drops to nine percent, the plasma injectors will lock up and the nacelles wil

Starfleet records: Warp drive. Parts of the system (10). Propulsion technology. Magnetic interlock: Magnetic interlocks form part of the warp drive system aboard starships, as part of the warp core assembly. Magnetic interlocks can be disrupted by subspace vacuoles. Source: VOY: "Emanations". During the battle with the Duras sisters in 2371, the starboard interlock of the USS Enterprise-D took damage, and required reinforcement.
