It is also required in certain Engineering DOff assignments, producing prototype turrets and platforms.
These assignments can be accessed at the console on the desk in the captain's ready room under the Main Engineering tab.
The ones that require this particle type are:
- Assemble Heavy Plasma Turret from prototype
- Assemble Heavy Tetryon Turret from prototype
- Assemble Chroniton Torpedo Platform from prototype
- Assemble Plasma Torpedo Platform from prototype
