The plasma was generated in the main core and fed to the turrets via seven high-pressure conduits. To defend herself, the Solaris was equipped with seven first-generation plasma cannon turrets, all remote-controlled and slaved to the bridge however each turret was equipped with a manual override system for crew to take control in the event of damage to the communication lines. The equivalent portside section held EM wave emitters and receivers for measurement of phenomena. There were visual sensors on the forward starboard side, just aft of the main prongs. These allowed the Solaris to analyse a phenomena from several million kilometers away, away from any potential detrimental effects. The Solaris was equipped with state-of-the-art scientific sensor pallets, strategically placed around the craft, in addition to the forward primary sensor array between the forward prongs. The vessel's Phase drive was refitted to a second generation model during the rebuild, resulting in speeds far in excess of modern warships, much like the original drive was compared to vessels in 2380. The coils were designed to extend and retract from the ship to ease maintenance and repairs on them, as otherwise there was no internal access to them. The very large, high-density Phase coils, which held and emitted the energy from the Phase drive, folded out of the forward prongs of the vessel, and four navigational antennae deployed from the centre gap, when the ship was preparing its Phase drive. Trident engineers of the time hoped that the new engine would set a new standard for high speed exploration for Trident vessels. The Solaris was also equipped with a Phase drive that was state-of-the-art in 2380, that feeds off Zero-Point energy, as opposed to tapping the fusion or Tetryon energy of the reactor like many other species' Phase systems. In the event of damage to the reactor, a smaller backup reactor, situated close to the main thruster assembly, kicked in to provide emergency power until the main reactor could be repaired. The Solaris was equipped with a fairly standard, though large, linear fusion reactor that fed power into every system and subsystem on the ship. The duranium was reinforced with even tougher tritanium outer plates, developed primarily to resist energy weapons and kinetic impacts. The Solaris' hull was built from tough duranium alloy, able to withstand the impact of a 500 metre asteroid collision with very little damage, and had a thermal limit of 20,000 degrees Celsius to allow it to get closer to stars and other heat sources than any other Trident craft before it. The 392-metre long TRV Solaris is a dedicated explorer, powered by a new generation of linear fusion reactor and propelled through space by a Phase drive based on Zero-Point energy, unlike the common fusion- or rarer Tetryon-based Phase drive (or equivalent) of other civilisations.
