	~~A '''Warp Core''' is a single space-time manipulation device — the fundamental unit of~~ [[Warp Cores\|Warp Core technology]]. Like a Star Trek Warp Core but available at any size from palm-held to station-scale, each individual Warp Core bends spacetime around itself to produce tactical and transit effects.

	~~== How a Warp Core Works ==~~
	~~A single Warp Core operates by generating a '''warp field''' — a controlled distortion in local spacetime geometry. The core:~~

	~~# '''Energizes''' — draws power from the host system ([[Fission Core]], [[Micro Fusion Flash Cell]], or external supply)~~
	~~# '''Generates a warp bubble''' — creates an asymmetric spacetime distortion envelope~~
	~~# '''Modulates the field geometry''' — shapes the warp bubble for the desired effect (micro-jump, zone manipulation, transit, etc.)~~
	~~# '''Sustains or collapses''' — maintains the field for duration-based effects, or collapses it in a controlled pulse for instantaneous effects~~

	The key physics: the core moves ''space around the object'' rather than moving the object through space. This distinction is critical — warp transit has no inertial effects on the occupant because they are stationary relative to their local spacetime.

	~~== Core Components ==~~
	~~A Warp Core at any scale contains:~~
	* '''Field Emitter Array''' — generates the raw spacetime distortion
	* '''Geometry Modulator''' — shapes the warp field into the required configuration
	* '''Power Regulator''' — manages the enormous energy draw; prevents catastrophic field collapse
	* '''Phase Discriminator''' — keeps the warp field from interfering with [[Phasic Drive]] systems operating on the same platform
	* '''Safety Interlock''' — prevents accidental [[Warp Zone]] generation during routine operations (the same failure mode that [[Fusion Wings]] can trigger via energy overflow)

	~~== Scale Variants ==~~
	~~Each Warp Core is built for a specific scale, though all use the same fundamental principles:~~

			A '''Warp Core''' is a single space-time manipulation device — the fundamental unit of [[Warp Cores\|Warp Core technology]]. Like a Star Trek Warp Core but available at any size from palm-held to station-scale, each individual Warp Core bends spacetime around itself to produce tactical and transit effects.

			== How a Warp Core Works ==
			A single Warp Core operates by generating a '''warp field''' — a controlled distortion in local spacetime geometry. The core:

			# '''Energizes''' — draws power from the host system ([[Fission Core]], [[Micro Fusion Flash Cell]], or external supply)
			# '''Generates a warp bubble''' — creates an asymmetric spacetime distortion envelope
			# '''Modulates the field geometry''' — shapes the warp bubble for the desired effect (micro-jump, zone manipulation, transit, etc.)
			# '''Sustains or collapses''' — maintains the field for duration-based effects, or collapses it in a controlled pulse for instantaneous effects

			The key physics: the core moves ''space around the object'' rather than moving the object through space. This distinction is critical — warp transit has no inertial effects on the occupant because they are stationary relative to their local spacetime.

			== Core Components ==
			A Warp Core at any scale contains:
			* '''Field Emitter Array''' — generates the raw spacetime distortion
			* '''Geometry Modulator''' — shapes the warp field into the required configuration
			* '''Power Regulator''' — manages the enormous energy draw; prevents catastrophic field collapse
			* '''Phase Discriminator''' — keeps the warp field from interfering with [[Phasic Drive]] systems operating on the same platform
			* '''Safety Interlock''' — prevents accidental [[Warp Zone]] generation during routine operations (the same failure mode that [[Fusion Wings]] can trigger via energy overflow)

			== Scale Variants ==
			Each Warp Core is built for a specific scale, though all use the same fundamental principles:

			A handheld Warp Core can create a micro warp field. A station-scale Warp Core can generate and sustain entire [[Warp Zone]]s. The physics are identical — only the magnitude differs.
