Located on Deck 14, Main Engineering is the thriving heart of any vessel in space. It has access to almost all systems aboard the starship, and manages repairs, power flow, and general maintenance.

It supplies all systems with power and monitors everything that has a blinking light through the system displays.  If something goes wrong, an Engineer will have noticed.  It is arguably the most important area of the ship though not the most remembered.

Numerous ladders and access panels to Jefferies tubes are leading throughout the starship.  The Ronin has a decent complement of special access routes into Engineering to take into account.  This is perhaps one of the reasons why Engineers never seem to leave the drive room. 


There are numerous ladders and access panels to Jefferies tubes, leading throughout the starship - the Sovereign Class being the first series of starship to take full advantage of these access spaces for more than extraordinary maintenanceThe technical complexity of the starship dictates the use of these spaces to maintain peak efficiency and affect proper repairs.

=== Warp System ===
The Ronin’s engines are the same M/ARA system that works on each Federation’s vessel.  Apart from the standard Warp Propulsion systems, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' is,, in essence,, a warship and is equipped as such to outlast in near impossible conditions.  As such, the warp drive of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' can survive on ‘fumes’ for a short time while the crew can evacuateFor the same reason, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' was also equipped with twin Warp Cores to provide maximum power to the weapons. However, total system details are provided in the [[Academy_Library#Engineering|Academy Engineering Systems]] section.

In the center of Main Engineering is the Matter/Anti-Matter Assembly (M/ARA). This is where primary power for the ship is generated inside the Matter/Anti-Matter Reaction Chamber (M/ARC). This system is checked on a regular basis due to its importance to the ship. Access to the warp core is restricted, with a front port to get to the Dilithium matrix as well as an over side port for access to the warp plasma conduits.
=== Experimental Technology ===
Although the section isn’t exactly what it says on the tin, some of the Engineers on the Ronin have, at some point, been involved in technology research at Utopia Planitia. Using the resources and multiple opinions available, the engineers on board can research a wide variety of deep space systems, including advancements in the LCARS system and an experimental EEH (Emergency Engineering Hologram).


Continued research into these systems has not yet directly benefited the Ronin.  No advancements have been made, as much of the research hasn’t left the library.  However, they’re forever hopeful.


A second tier rings the second level of Main Engineering on deck 13. Two small single-person elevators, as well as a ladder on the opposite end, provide access to this catwalk. Controls for the various Fusion Power Plants, along with the Impulse Engines, are monitored from this deck.
The typical crew complement in Main Engineering consists of six Officers and sixty technicians of various grades. During Red or Yellow Alert, that number is increased. Because Engineering is such a vast department, having subsection division heads working effectively seemed necessary. It hasn’t failed yet.


The current '''Chief Engineer''' is [[Marty Tucker|Lieutenant Marty Tucker]]

A lower tier runs below Main Engineering on deck 15.  Damage Control Teams are mustered here, as well as internal ship maintenance teams.  Numerous consoles and replicators line this section, serving as auxiliary consoles for Main Engineering, along with providing engineering research space and secondary computer core support.




Access to the Jeffries Tubes is provided in various places on both the First, Second and Third Tier of the Engineering Spaces.
