In reference to:

	Ha! I, with my limited knowledge finally get to pick apart something!
	"Low fuel" is not an issue with the Enterprise; it is self-regenerating
	(explain that one).  I heard Kirk tell someone that in one of the
	TV episodes.

Actually as I understand it, it  is  (was)  the  Enterprise's  *power*
which  is  regenerated,  not her fuel.  The matter and anti-matter are
carefully combined, yielding energy which is used to  power  the  ship
and recharge the batteries and so on.
