Dilithium crystal converter assembly

The dilithium crystal converter assembly was the engineering component aboard starships responsible for the primary energy-production activities.

In 2268, the Enterprise's dilithium crystal converter assembly was sabotaged by Kryton, an Elasian working for the Klingons. Scotty discovered that the converter assembly had been completely fused as a result of Kryton's actions, making any use of warp power impossible until replacement dilithium crystals could be found.
