The exact function of the magnetic Interlocks is unclear, however it is generally believed that they are in some way responsible for the maintenance of a uniform magnetic field or bottle that is present inside the [[Dilithium Crystal Chamber]]. This field is critical to contain and direct the massive energies created by the annhilation of matter and Antimatter that power the Warp Drives on federation starships. | The exact function of the magnetic Interlocks is unclear, however it is generally believed that they are in some way responsible for the maintenance of a uniform magnetic field or bottle that is present inside the [[Dilithium Crystal Chamber]].

During the battle with the Duras sisters in 2371, the starboard interlock of the USS Enterprise-D took damage, and required reinforcement. Subsequently, the interlocks ruptured, leading to a [[Plasma Coolant]] leak, and eventually a warp core breach that destroyed the secondary hull.
