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 with a blinking light through the system displays. If something goes wrong, an Engineer will notice. 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.

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 Ronin is,, in essence,, a warship and is equipped as such to outlast in near impossible conditions. As such, the warp drive of the Ronin can survive on ‘fumes’ for a short time while the crew can evacuate. For the same reason, the Ronin was also equipped with twin Warp Cores to provide maximum power to the weapons. However, total system details are provided in the Academy Engineering Systems section.

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.

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 Lieutenant Marty Tucker
