The FTL (Faster Than Light) Drive is a piece of recovered extra-terrestrial technology that emits intensive gravimetric fields capable of manipulating space-time.
The vessel’s Power Distribution Network (PDN) is a highly redundant, layered distribution system for delivering power from generation and auxiliary power sources to vessel systems.
Engineering systems are responsible for the core operations of the ship, including power generation, propulsion and life support.
Engineers are expected to keep the power on and systems operational even as the ship takes combat damage or grapples with unexpected phenomena.
Power Generation
Endeavour relies on a magneto-inertial fusion reactor as the main source of electrical power, which is used to run everything from the ship's engines to weapons and life support.
Power Distribution Network
The Power Distribution Network (PDN) is highly redundant network of power distribution nodes and conduits gets power to where it needs to be, including the ability to route around damage.
The PDN is also able to monitor the health of connected ship systems, alerting crew to malfunction or damage and providing diagnostic information to guide repair crews.
Propulsion
The vessel's main engines provide propulsion at up to 20% the speed of light for travel within star systems. An alien-derived Faster-Than-Light (FTL) drive provides much faster relativistic speeds for travel between star systems.
Main Engines
The vessel uses Magnetoplasma Impulse Engines (MIE) which use plasma accelerated by powerful magnetic fields to propel the ship at subluminal speeds - a maximum of 20% the speed of light (60,000Km/sec).
FTL Drive
Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel is made possible by an alien derived device capable of generating powerful gravimetric fields, which "warps" space to bring distant points much closer to the ship, effectively accelerating the ship's velocity to many times the speed of light.
