The electro-plasma system (EPS for short, or more specifically the electro-plasma distribution network, as engineers like to call it) is the basic form of energy distribution from and to starships' subsystems. The concept is based on storing energy in a highly-energetic plasma, "electro-plasma," and distributing this in a plasma grid through the ship via magnetic conduits, called EPS conduits.
Throughout the ship, various EPS taps are placed on the conduits to accommodate energy distribution. The plasma conduits usually start at a matter-antimatter reaction assembly (the warp core) and fan out to various areas of the ship. Plasma conduit power levels are regulated by plasma coolant ducts, and monitored by plasma conversion sensors. Large conduits are located in the nacelle struts to facilitate the massive power transfer, a plasma stream directed by plasma injectors towards the warp coils needed to create a warp field.
From the EPS taps, the energy is distributed through conventional electricity; however, this is often deep inside the components of a subsystem. Some systems use plasma distribution manifolds (or plasma manifolds for short) to manage the power conversion level. Electro-plasma itself can be bled off into plasma canisters or a plasma infuser for mobile use as an energy source.
