Yes, two hundred years in the past! LOL, the dilithium crystals were an exotic mineral that more or less powered starships in the Star Trek universe, or at least the energy from the matter/anti-matter engines was funneled through. A continual plot device where they were always in danger of cracking, burning, etc. I guess they never thought of carrying any extras...
