General Overview:
Main engineering
Engineering, or main engineering (called reactor pit in Klingonese; Vulcan
translation: nen-mish-sutauk), is the location from which the ship's main
power systems are controlled. Engineering is the primary assignment of
engineers and chief engineers. Engineering's primary purpose is to be the
central point for control of all engineering systems aboard a starship,
especially those related to propulsion and power generation. The
matter/antimatter reaction chamber (also known as the warp core) is located
in engineering.
Engineering can also be used as a command and control center, overriding
primary centers such as the bridge or auxiliary control.
