Enterprise-C Auxiliary Fusion Generators
A distributed suite of compact fusion backup modules tied into Enterprise‑C's power grid: metal-clad cylindrical housings, conduit clusters, and recessed maintenance access panels. Normally quiet with a low mechanical hum, they register as diagnostic feedlines on the bridge consoles. During triage crew members call their status aloud; engineers treat them as the last line of propulsion and systems power when primary reactors and impulse drive falter.

Purpose
Provide secondary/emergency electrical power and redundancy to the ship’s propulsion, life‑support, weapons, and critical systems when the primary reactor or impulse systems become impaired.
Significance
Act as a tactical lifeline in the scene: their operational state shapes rapid technical triage, informs risk calculations, and heightens emotional stakes as crew weigh duty against loss. The generators’ condition constrains options and helps drive the moral and strategic choices confronting the bridge team.
