An energy drain or power drain was the draining of energy or power.

In 2268, an energy drain pervaded the dark zone which emanated from the space amoeba. As the USS Enterprise drew closer to the source, the drain grew stronger and they grew weaker. Engines were stopped as they sought a defense against the energy drain which absorbed all forms of energy whether mechanically or biologically produced. Power levels were down twelve percent and steadily decreased. As far as power levels were concerned, everything acted backwards; reverse thrust lurched the ship forward and vice versa, but the drain continued. Analysis of the zone indicated that it was not the source of the power drain. (TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome")
