Warp Propulsion
The Enterprise is equipped with a next-generation experimental warp drive that unlike conventional warp drives, operates on a slightly different subspace principle, using much hotter warp plasma temperatures and a more rarified dilithium crystal. Because of the different subspace physics involved in the ship's warp drive, it is possible for the ship to maintain a high warp factor for a longer period of time before auto-shut down occurs.
Like nearly all Federation Starfleet vessels in current service, the Enterprise's Warp Core runs vertically from Deck 10 to Deck 22 in the Engineering Hull, with the Mater/Anti-matter Reaction Chamber being located inside the three-tier'ed Main Engineering Complex, which occupies Decks 14, 15, and 16, which Deck 16 being the Main Level.
Impulse Propulsion
The Enterprise's sub light drive is powered by two Impulse Engine, each with four Impulse Fusion Reactors. Each engine is located on the port and starboard aft sides of the primary hull, these engines are what propels the ship at up to .85 light speed, using a temporal shielding to prevent the ship from attaining time dilation effects. Although the Impulse Engines do indeed have enough power to push the ship up to the speed of light, numerous fail safes are designed and hardwired into the engines to prevent it due to the above mentioned time dilation effects.
Quantum Slipstream Propulsion
The Enterprise Quantum Slipstream Drive is an experimental prototype that is currently only installed on five other starships in the Fleet. As like all Quantum Slipstream Drives, the drive operates by sending power from the drive to be routed through the main deflector which, in turn, directs a narrowly-focused, directed warp field that is initiated by manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum at the quantum level. It works by focusing a quantum field through a deflector dish to generate massive changes in local space curvature; this creates a subspace tunnel, which is projected in front of the vessel. Once the ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed. In order to maintain the slipstream, the Enterprise has to constantly modify the quantum field with its deflector dish and its computer core... failure to generate the correct quantum fluctuations and the phase variances will result in the slipstream collapsing, which will result in severe damage to the ship's spaceframe.
During the October 2409 refit of the Enterprise, the Quantum Slipstream drive was upgraded with a prototype Benamite recrystalization matrix, allowing the ship to operate with the same benamite crystals for up to six years before the crystals would need to be replaced, compared to the one year, previously. Another advantage is that the recrystalization matrix further stabalizes the Quantum field, allowing the Enterprise to set new speed records for Federation technology.
