Emergency shutdown trips | Emergency shutdown trips are part of the safety systems of a starship's warp drive. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) | ||
It is generally believed that the EST works by causing the magnetic constrictors that allow the passage of antimatter into the Matter/Antimatter reaction Chamber to constrict the magnetic field and thereby prevent the passage of antimatter to the chamber. This process most likely takes place incredibly fast and is suspected to cause an immediate shutdown of the ship's warp drive. | It is generally believed that the EST works by causing the magnetic constrictors that allow the passage of antimatter into the Matter/Antimatter reaction Chamber to constrict the magnetic field and thereby prevent the passage of antimatter to the chamber.
