New configuration of components, using conventional warp drive (within the confines of a galaxy) it can maintain higher-end warp speeds longer than her 24c counterpart. (Thus keeping the galaxy "small" enough for effective story telling) but the drive that can get her between galaxies uses the unstable protomatter with antimatter to generate the power it needs to go fast enough to travel between galaxies. It creates such a turbulant, unstable, warp field that it's very susceptible to large gravity wells meaning it cannot be used inside of galaxies.
