The artificial quantum singularity (also referred to as a confined or forced quantum singularity) is a method of generating energy, by means of creating and utilizing an artifical quantum singularity.
In the 24th century, artificial quantum singularities served as the primary power source for large Romulan spacecraft, such as the D'Deridex class warbird. Once activated, the singularity core cannot be shut down.
In the Delta Quadrant, a network of ancient relay stations claimed by the Hirogen were powered by quantum singularities approximately a centimeter in diameter, putting out four terawatts of energy.
