"Warp coils were an integral part of a starship's
warp drive. Mounted within the warp nacelles, the coils used the plasma generated by the warp core to
create a subspace displacement field that allowed faster-than-light travel."
This is the very method of warp drive I have previously described. Subluminal drives are impulse drives which in the TOS era used fusion (ie atomic) power. This puts them well within the range of Dp-Earth's TL(6+1)^/7-9.
