The aft nacelle being the spine in the upper aft saucer section where life support is. The same place Khan threatened to destroy on the Enterprise on Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) if Spock didn't give into his demands.

By the way, Khan's crew were in stasis, so they wouldn't need oxygen.

And one line to explain Khan's altered appearance, "He took my face."

Simple, effective, and still not enough time or crayons to explain it to haters, purists and gatekeepers -- despite Khan being pretty white looking himself on Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

Anyways, I thought about it when I was working on the Resupply Mission post that discussed precision fermentation:

And where life support is on this ship:

Trust me, life support shown is also there as well. Primary LOX and CO2 tanks on the port, gas exchangers on starboard.

It made me think of the Xindi storyline during the third season of Enterprise, one plot element that would raise the stakes even more is heavy damage to Enterprise's life support systems.

Basic life support 101, gas exchangers collects the CO2 waste gas and held there and transferred to the oxygen recycling facilities. They collect the O2 from recycling, held there until they're needed in specific areas on the ship. In the event of too little oxygen is being generated, they tap the reserve tanks. If there's too much CO2, they transfer them to the storage tanks.

So without those exchangers, the ship suffocates because of CO2 reaching toxic levels, and oxygen levels diminishing. And I figure that's what Khan was aiming for to threaten the Enterprise.

But let's say the NX-01 Enterprise has different exhangers, and they don't temporarily store the gas there. They transfer the CO2 straight to the storage tanks to be recycled later, and replenish the oxygen from the tanks.

If the Xindi hit the oxygen tanks -- aside from an explosion -- the oxygen would be vented into space drastically shortening their life expectancy and reduces the success of their mission. If the CO2 tanks were hit, no place to store the CO2 whether it's being recycled or not. So they would have to do something radical to keep them alive as long as possible to complete the mission -- hopefully

not as radical as the Salvoxia that Neelix mentioned on, "The Haunting of Deck Twelve."

And this is if they recycle their water, store their food, and used the Bosch reaction to recycle their oxygen. So whether it's hydroponics, aeroponics, bioreactors/precision fermentation, or the Bosch reactors, they're useless without either of those tanks.

It's like how the oxygen tanks exploded on the USS Helios on the movie, Solar Crisis (1990). I know the movie isn't that good. In fact, the most positive thing I could say about the movie are the special effects and Annabel Schfield's topless scenes. But I do find the situation more believable than Sunshine (2007), though Sunshine was the better of the movies in terms of plot, character development, direction, pace, etc.

Then there is of course what happened to Apollo 13.

We've also seen life support -- shall we say -- issues on Star Trek before. It can be threatened like on, "The Menagerie;" shut down like on, "Space Seed," or, "Wolf In The Fold;" malfunctioned like on, "Contagion," and, "Evolution;" sabotaged like on, "Wink of an Eye," or, "The Changeling;" or disabled/destroyed like on, "Civil Defense."

But having life support severely damaged on Enterprise, season 3, would raise the stakes, and have their morality challenged like Trek does today. Perhaps arguing what would eventually happen on the Salvoxia, perhaps even leading to murder instead of noble sacrifice.
