The injectors were at the bottom of the core, and the reaction occureed along its length. Some of the resulting plasma was used for impulse drive, "deflected" by the crystal. There is some canon support for this in <i>The Motion Picture</i>, when the warp core (incidentally, never called "warp core" until <i>The Next Generation</i>) is brought online for the ship's impulse acceleration, and sublight speeds are called "warp point-five" and so on. In later years, they returned to fusion reactors, presumably easier to use at impulse speeds. It is unclear if the original series <i>Enterprise</i> had this sort of setup or if she had seperate fusion reactors for impulse. There was never any mention of the reactors, but the series bible described impulse as "rocket" power, which would support a traditional fusion setup more than a deflected warp plasma setup. I propose that the plasma-deflection idea was briefly flirted with in the late 2260s and lasted through, perhaps, the 2310s. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The Mighty Monkey of Mim</b> <br /><small>Member # 646</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,6,15,12,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">July 15, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:31 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Apparently I was under a mis-impression of what the "impulse deflector crystal" was.
