In the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual it was written that the real warp speed depends on external factors such as particle density or electromagnetic fields and only roughly corresponds with the calculated speed of current warp factor. According to the Pocket Books novel Battlestations!, instead of the dilithium crystals the Federation transwarp drive engine design utilized solid trilithium that retains integrity for workable periods of time. (VOY: "Distant Origin"). The Collective built Transwarp Hubs to maintain stable, artificial transwarp conduits boasting speeds in the many millions of c. by 2375, Over the course of the following year the Collective spread throughout the galaxy, encountering over 1500 species. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (p. 14) states that the Transwarp Development Project was simply unable to surpass the "primary warp field efficiency barrier" in the early 2280s. In TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before", The Traveler used the energy of his thoughts to move the USS Enterprise-D through space at a speed that appeared to surpass warp 10. They had incredibly advanced technology compared to many of the races of the galaxy. The warp drive velocity in Star Trek is generally expressed in "warp factor" units, which—according to Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual—corresponds to the magnitude of the warp field. The flight itself was described as follows: "falling into a fast-moving river and getting swept away by the current." A transwarp hub is a large automated structure composed of a series of interspatial manifolds which are capable of opening transwarp apertures, destruction of the manifolds results in the destruction of the entire hub complex.. "[16], "warp speed" redirects here.

In 2374, the USS Defiant studied a rare subspace compression anomaly in the hopes of collecting data relevant to the development of transwarp corridors, which are approximately 50 times faster than highest warp of starfleet ships. The fluctuations lead to a core pressure increase. In addition to the possibility to let a spaceship glide through space in a warp field, there is also space folding in Star Trek. [1] The term is replaced, on-screen, with "mid-warp" used instead. field is projected throughout the hull from specially designed conduits and as compensation for the gravimetric shear Borg vessels projected their structural integrity field in-front of the vessel using its navigational deflectors. There, the Starfleet developed a new spaceship type, the USS Excelsior (NX-2000), which should have a superior engine. Thus, in the Okuda scale, warp velocities approach warp 10 asymptotically. A primary component of the warp drive method of propulsion in the Star Trek universe is the "gravimetric field displacement manifold", more commonly referred to as a warp core.

They search the cave with their flashlights and Veer discovers a tattered piece of cloth; while he does not appear to recognize it, it is a gold-colored Starfleet Operations division uniform. The locations that could be accessed were limited and gates were still needed to access certain areas of the galaxy.

A geodesic fold occurs when a Verteron beam is fired at the atmosphere of a giant star at two different locations.

The transporters are guarded by a mix of Voth Specialists, Medics and turrets. Each was unique and depending on its size, was home to anywhere from 100s of thousands of Voth to millions of Voth. They can travel the se speeds through "normal" transwarp corridors. by 2352 - The Borg have built a small number of stable transwarp conduits. The largest Voth stand taller than most humanoids and rather compare with enormous Breen like Thot Trel, or the most massive Gorn Ra'wiq and Hodch.

However ships like the USS Voyager and the USS Enterprise-D were small enough to stay in temporal sync without this modification. was changed to "By recommending a full stop mid-warp during a rescue mission?"

An editor's note in the Chronology speculates the line by Data: "There has not been a systems-wide technological failure on a starship in 79 years", in TNG: "Evolution", was a reference to the result of the failure of the Excelsior's transwarp drive in 2287. The vessel speed is first increased to warp factor 2.3 in order to generate the initial subspace field. Once a ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed. Once activated, the transporter will be unlocked and point taken. Impulse Engines. [1].
