On most starships (in the Star Trek world)...how would power be derived from dilithium crystals?
And why would any starship store antimatter pods if the ships main drive is run off of dilithium crstyals? I understand the antimatter is stored away from the core unit (for safety reasons) but how are dilithium crystals
and antimatter related?

If I understand my Star Trek correctly, the dilithium crystals were a focusing agent. The actual power was creating through a matter anti matter reaction than was channeled through the dilithium chrystal. I am not sure if this is correct or not but it was basically what i understood about it.
