The core breach was averted when time reset itself and Captain Picard remotely steered a runabout into the transfer beam. In 2369, the Enterprise-D was destroyed by a warp core breach, generated by a massive energy feedback into the warp core from a power transfer to a Romulan vessel. ( TNG: " Cause and Effect")Įngineering aboard the Voyager moments before a warp core breach The explosion led to the creation of a temporal causality loop, from which the Enterprise was able to avoid the collision before it happened. In 2368, the Enterprise-D collided with the USS Bozeman after encountering a space-time distortion in the Typhon Expanse, causing a warp core breach which destroyed the ship. In 2368, Commander Riker remembered a containment breach situation in main engineering due to a telepathic memory invasion by the Ullian Jev. After the Yamato rendezvous with her sister ship the USS Enterprise-D, the energy build up in the engineering section by the Iconian scan overloaded the warp core. In 2365, the USS Yamato had been scanned by the Iconian probe orbiting the planet of Iconia in the Romulan Neutral Zone. Kirk stopped him and the overload in time. In 2267, Khan Noonien Singh tried to blow up the starship USS Enterprise by overloading the warp core when he failed to capture it. In the case of saucer separation (or warp core ejection), the ship was left running on impulse power and batteries, as the warp core and warp nacelles were required for warp drive. Regardless, the aim was to get as much distance between the core and the crew as possible before detonation. In situations where a saucer separation could not be initiated, then evacuation of the ship via escape pods or shuttles would occur.
The evacuation of the crew to the primary hull and initiating separation was also used in cases where the vessel had that capability, such as on Galaxy-class vessels. Warp core ejection was a common method of dealing with a breach, although this was considered a last ditch effort and often failed aboard.
The breach was almost always irreversible, as most safety protocols and systems would have failed prior to the event. Antimatter containment was lost, and the resultant contact between antimatter and the normal matter of the ship destroyed the vessel. A breach could occur in a variety of ways, but was frequently characterized by a coolant leak from the main reaction chamber, resulting in a runaway reaction within the warp core.
