Power (physics)
Power was a term used in physics to describe the amount of energy required or expended per a given unit of time. The power aboard a starship was also known as energy reserves. (; ) Its source was called a power source.

Power aboard starships could be re-routed from one system to another. In August of 2151, the power from the internal sensors was re-routed to the weapons system aboard the . ()

During the early 2250s,  heavy cruisers were armed with a complement of directed energy weapons, that possessed enough power to destroy half a continent in a concentrated bombardment. ()

Aboard the  in 2267, Earth probe Nomad increased engine efficiency by fifty-seven percent but this would destroy the ship if not stopped as its structure could not handle the  of that much power. ()

A starship can be identified on sensors by its power utilization curve, as a vessel utilizing 100% power has the ability to skew sensor readings. () 

It was discovered that the use of power disturbed the dimensional structure of universes that co-existed with one another – the use of too much power could close the interphasic bridge between intersecting universes. ()
