The impulse manifold is part of a starship's impulse engine.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2375, during the final battle of the Dominion War, the USS Defiant scored direct hits on eleven Breen battlecruisers, although only three sustained severe damage. Odo later noticed that the three ships that Worf was able to damage more had been struck in their aft impulse manifold. Benjamin Sisko had the Defiant attack another Breen ship to test the theory and the Breen ship was successfully destroyed using the tactic. Captain Sisko soon had Ezri Dax inform the other Allied starships of their discovery. (DS9 novelization: What You Leave Behind)
