It's a new type of compact starship warp core for the Avenger Class starship. Space was slightly at a lack, so the idea was to put the dutirium tanks inside the nacelle pylons with inlets to the warp core running horizontally to engineering deck 1 where it was routed downward into the warp core. The warp core itself has three access points in which to install dilithium crystals. The core features primary, secondary, and tertiary crystals to control the reactions more carefully. Because of the two extra access points, the drive plasma was routed through the back to another routing chamber which sent it to the port and starboard nacelles.
