The '''Secondary Coolant Tank''' is located aboard a [[Sovereign Class]] Starship. The tank most likely performs the same function as the [[Pre-Stage Flux Chamber]] aboard the [[Constitution Class]] Starship.

It is safe to assume that since this particular component is named the '''''Secondary''''' that there is also a [[Primary Coolant Tank]]. This component has never been seen or mentioned on screen , although it is likely to exist. It may be that a primary coolant tank may perform the same function as the [[Main Stage Flux Chiller]] aboard the Constitution class starship.
