Electro-plasma

In high-power mechanics, electro-plasma is a super-energized plasma used to transfer energy from a central power source using plasma conduit transfer. Extremely high-powered warp plasma or drive plasma is used as a plasma stream to power the warp drive of a starship. Warp plasma is usually produced inside a dilithium controlled reaction assembly where matter - antimatter intermix occurs. On Federation starships and outposts, as well as those of other major spacefaring species, electro-plasma was the main power transfer medium.

A Federation EPS (electro-plasma system) is fed from a warp core on a starship, a fusion reactor on an installation or starbase, or an impulse reactor on a non-warp spacecraft. Besides the large warp plasma conduits (power transfer conduits), there were smaller plasma conduits, with EPS taps that transfered power as electricity to all subsystems connected to the power transfer grid. Drive plasma is regulated with warp plasma regulators and other plasma with plasma regulators. The flow of plasma is regulated using plasma flow regulators. If a plasma conduit or EPS tap ruptured, the contents could set off a plasma fire. 

Energized electro-plasma could be stored in plasma canisters or plasma infusers for mobile use, and was used in plasma torches and plasma weapons (such as plasma cannons, plasma charges, plasma waves, plasma rifles, and plasma torpedoes). It may also be naturally-generated, such as the energetic anomalies found in plasma storms and fields.
