O que significa o EPS?

Eu acredito que ele significa Sistema de eletro-plasma

The electro-plasma system (EPS for short, or more specifically the electro-plasma distribution network, as engineers like to call it) is the primary form of energy distribution on starships.

The technology is based on storing energy in a highly energetic plasma, "electro-plasma," and distributing it throughout the ship via plasma conduits, called EPS conduits. The system of conduits is also referred to as the plasma grid. EPS conduits usually start at a matter-antimatter reaction assembly, also called the warp core, where matter is converted to energy, and extend to all areas of a ship. Plasma conduit power levels are regulated by plasma coolant ducts, and monitored by plasma conversion sensors.

E aqui está uma imagem de um Sistema de Plasma Secundário

Este é o sistema E lectro P lasma S (também conhecido como o Sistema de Eletroplasma ), um série de conduítes que viajam ao redor do navio fornecendo energia de plasma carregada a sistemas vitais.

Um sistema de energia secundário também fornece energia elétrica, embora muito poucos sistemas usem essa tecnologia amplamente desatualizada.

O Manual Técnico da TNG define-o desta forma;

MAJOR UTILITIES NETWORKS
Power transmission for onboard systems is accomplished by a network of microwave power transmission waveguides known as the electro plasma system (EPS). Major power supplies derive microwave power from the warp propulsion power conduits and the main impulse engines. Additional feeds draw power from the saucer module impulse engines as well as a number of auxiliary fusion generators. A secondary power distribution system provides electrical power for specialized requirements.

E é mencionado em vários episódios, embora nunca pelo nome completo:

NOG: No! I have to listen at precisely eighty two decibels because that's the volume Worf listens at! Of course, if I could've simply told him why I needed two metres of electro-plasma conduit from the Defiant, he probably would've just given it to me and things would be a lot quieter around here! _{^{DS9 : In the Cards}}

DATA: The primary plasma system does not indicate a power drain from any of the transporters.

LAFORGE: Then whoever used the transporter must have bypassed the primary feeds.

DATA: Tracking power from secondary systems. No surges to any of the transporters indicated. _{^{TNG : The Mind's Eye}}
