Enterprise‑C Accelerator Coils
A bank of thick, tightly wound accelerator coils mounted within the Enterprise‑C's propulsion assembly: metallic windings wrapped in ceramic insulation with laminated supports and conduit tap points. Scorching, frayed insulation, and occasional arcing betray recent trauma; diagnostic readouts show disrupted flux and irregular resonance. Geordi/La Forge gestures to schematic overlays as bridge crew shout damage reports and triage propulsion priorities around the smoking array.

Purpose
Generate and shape high‑energy magnetic acceleration fields that channel and accelerate plasma/reactant flow for the ship's impulse/engine propulsion systems.
Significance
Serve as the proximate mechanical cause of failing impulse systems, forcing immediate technical triage, raising tactical vulnerability, and heightening the emotional stakes that drive command decisions and personal responses on the bridge.
