BlackDorr Maneuver

The BlackDorr Maneuver, is an engineering maneuver named after Indira Munroe.
In February of 2400, the USS Valiant was investigating the disappearance of Indira's sister Nerys Sparks and her boyfriend Hayden Liu. Unknown to the crew, the couple had been sucked through a blackhole, which opened up space-time from an incident with Red Matter in 2384. Particles of the red matter were still in the area causing it to be unstable. When the Valiant hit the red matter, a blackhole opened which was threatening to pull them in. Not having enough power to eject the core, Indira hypothesized that should they rev the core to build up enough power within that when they ejected the explosion could push them away.
Indira explains:
"There could be a way," she finally said, nervous to be the one thinking of this idea since Grey had not. Reese had said he wanted all ideas on the table. "Reverse the power-flow back into the core, it'll result in an exponential increase in power. The core will eventually become unstable and overload. If we eject at the moment before the overload, it may just give us what we need to get out." (Post 11800).
As an essential suicide mission, causing the death of the Chief Engineer Jason Grey. While he was killed in the attempt, Indira lost her left hand; however the idea was a success and the Valiant crew was able to break free. Indira was given an award for her creative thinking as well as a Cadet Medal of Recognition for her bravery.
