Used in canon:
qoD QutlhwI' ngaDmoHwI'
inner support stabilizer (BOP Poster)
I.e. those large ceiling supports flanking the captain's chair on the BOP bridge that look like shock absorbers.
Would {ngaDmoHwI'} "thing that stabilizes/balances" be the same thing as the "inertial dampeners" referred to so often in TNG?
Trek trivia:
"Adjust the axial stabilizers to match the attitude and rotation rate of the Enterprise." (Picard, TNG "Genesis")
23rd century Federation transporters have a "stabilizer circuit". (TOS "The Lights of Zetar")
