Engine core
The engine room section was located in the middle of the "head" of the science ship. It contained a primary situation station in the center of the room, and associated consoles along the walls surrounding the room. The ship's engine core was located in the containment chamber, an adjacent room connected to the main engine room.
The core itself was a spherical in shape and contained within a small chamber which has a single open hatch. The room also contained the warp core ejection system's manual override, embedded in the floor. When ejected, the core is shot into space from the mid-dorsal section of the ship.
