Starship Avalon has a Mark 314 Digital Warp Core capable of a multi-core interface. The multiple cores were removed in Starship Avalon's first major refit. The core is certified as follows:
At 100% Flow
Generation Capacity
528 KW
Temperature
916 °K
Max Temperature
1199 °K
Core Startup Checklist
FOD (Foreign Object Debris)
As with any mechanical device Starship Avalon's Power Distribution System must be syncronized, calibrated, and cleaned regularly. In order to perform this routine maintenance there are Power Distribution Nodes all over the ship (for convenience the main ones are located in conduit access junctions)
Core Syncronization
In order for the Warp Core to operate on a basic level the injection systems need to be syncronized. If Core Efficiency drops below 40% the injection systems will depolarize and need to be resyncronized. To do this go to the Master Core Control Console (shown below) and Re-Sync the core.
EPS Syncronization
The Electro-Plasma System, or EPS for short, uses high-energy plasma to transmit power throughout the ship much like water pipes transfer water throughout a home. In order to operate at peak efficiency the warp core needs a constant outflow of plasma so it doesn't become backed-up. The EPS Console is shown below:
Plasma Exhaust
Once the plasma containing the power for Starship Avalon finishes looping through the EPS system it ends up being stored in large EPS exhaust tanks until it's either cleaned and reused or, expelled from the ship. Most of the time it's reused due to the expense of replacing it. To "clear" the plasma exhaust, the term used for releasing it to the next stage (either expulsion or filtering) simply go to the appropriate station and activate the cycle shown below:
Plasma Conduits (20% FOD or Less)
High Volume EPS conduits are often called Plasma Conduits. They efficiently move high volumes of electro-plasma around the ship. The major drawback is that in high volumes the electro-plasma often cools enough in places to leave a gel-like residue on the walls of the conduits. As such these need to be scrubbed routinely. However, unlike the days of past, crew no longer need to scrub them by hand. Instead an automated system scrubs them. To use the automated scrubber go to the console shown below:
