Dilithium dispersement manifold

The dilithium dispersement manifold was a component of the warp drive on California-class starships.

In 2380, Beckett Mariner declared that the higher pitch of the USS Cerritos's engine sound relative to that of the USS Enterprise-D was due to vibrations in the dilithium dispersement manifold, not the inverted plasma distributors as claimed by Brad Boimler. (LD: "Terminal Provocations")
