Primary hull

The primary hull, also known as the main section, saucer section, was a major component of the overall hull structure on Federation starships. The primary hull was usually located above and forward of the secondary hull, sometimes connected via a interconnecting neck.
The primary hull was often referred to as the saucer section because on several Starfleet designs the primary hull had a circular shape.
The primary hull usually contained some of the most important areas on the ship, such as the bridge, computer core and crew quarters. The warp core was typically located in the secondary hull, away from these areas. In some designs in case of a mishap the primary hull can separate from the secondary section.
