NAVIGATIONAL DEFLECTOR SYSTEMS

Utilities and Auxiliary Systems Technical Data

A ship traveling at warp velocity faces a significant threat of damage caused by collisions with interstellar particles or debris. Even the tiniest particle can cause considerable damage if the ship's hull strikes it at warp speed. The Navigational Deflector system of the U.S.S. Enterprise effectively blocks such particles from hitting the ship by using three redundant high-power graviton polarity source generators, which feed subspace field distortion amplifiers. Powerful subspace field coils direct an accurate and powerful beam to push aside larger objects (such as asteroids).
