As the warp propulsion system is the heart of the starship, the '''matter/antimatter reaction assembly (M/ARA)''' is the heart of the warp propulsion system. The M/ARA is variously called the warp reactor, warp engine core, or main engine core. Energy produced within the core is shared between its propulsion and the raw power requirements of major ship functions. The M/ARA consist of four subsystems: | As the warp propulsion system is the heart of the starship, the '''matter/antimatter reaction assembly (M/ARA)''' is the heart of the warp propulsion system.
