Engineering

Main Engineering aboard the Fortuna is located on Deck 11. The room is constructed around the matter-antimatter reaction assembly (also known imply as warp core), featuring two levels. In front of the warp core is a large monitoring area on the lower engineering level. Also located on this level is the chief engineer's office and an open work area for special projects or situational analysis. A second tier rings the upper level of Main Engineering. A small, single-person elevator, as well as a ladder on the opposite side, provide access to this catwalk. The main Impulse engines on the Fortuna are located on the aft end of the pylons leading to the warp nacelles. The Fortuna is also equipped with auxiliary impulse reactors.

Warp core ejection

In the event of a warp core breach,  the Fortuna can eject the warp core.  This procedure requires the authorization code of the chief engineer or a member of the senior staff.  The core is ejected through the ejection port on the underside of the secondary hull. Magnetic rails inside the channel accelerate the core once disengaged from the vessel and fire it away from the ship. Under normal circumstances, the vessel then moves away from the core as fast as possible under impulse power.

Should the core not go critical, the vessel can recover it with tractor beams and careful manipulation.

Tractor beam

Each Fortuna’s tractor beam emitter is directly mounted to the primary members of the vessel's framework. The forward emitter is located on the underside of the secondary hull under the main Deflector dish.  The second emitter is located at the aft end of the secondary hull in the aft section of Deck 14.
