| abstract | - The intermix chamber was a major component of a starship's warp core. Its functions included the maintenance and regulation of plasma pressure within the core. While assisting Zefram Cochrane in 2063, Geordi La Forge could recall the intermix chamber of the Phoenix from memory. (Star Trek: First Contact) In November 2154, tampering by a group of Klingons caused a malfunction in the intermix chamber aboard Enterprise NX-01. As a result, plasma pressure within the chamber began to rise, threatening to destroy the ship. In order to reduce the pressure, Enterprise had to maintain high warp until the damage could be repaired. (ENT: "Affliction") In 2370, while posing as a thief named Galen, Captain Jean-Luc Picard manufactured an intermix chamber malfunction on board Arctus Baran's mercenary vessel, causing the ship to accelerate out of control and the plasma pressure to increase.
