 | | With the use of a transwarp drive, a starship could, in theory, go anywhere. | | | Anyway a transwarp drive is needed for warp 10-yes because warp 10 is transwarp thus you need a specific drive to reach it not Borg transwarp but that is not the only form of transwarp drive the warp drive Paris used in itself is a transwarp drive system | | | Transwarp is deathly required to reach warp 10, or else it is impossible. |

| | Warp drives do not, in my knowledge, bring objects closer to you by bending space around the ship (shudder!) Warp drives function by layering fields of Subspace (Warp) Energy outside the spacecraft, and the Energy excerted by each layer on it's neighbour cumulating to force a vessel into FTL motion. | | | The promo is erroneous in other ways...in "Descent," the Borg and the Enterprise both traveled through a "transwarp conduit." There have been several theories explaining the absence to transwarp drive. | | | Did not the Federation's finest minds declare that warp ten was impossible to reach? |

| | It's then more efficient for ships to align their warp drives with the plane of the galaxy, so flying "up" and "down" in the galactic plane (which is relatively thin, about 1/10th to 1/40th the diameter of the galaxy) would take more energy. | | | Warp drive is not used, the ship moves by manipulating the quantum energy field and using their impulse engines. | | | If X is to transwarp as subspace is to warp, then perhaps X has the same relationship to subspace that subspace has to normal space? |

| | So far the transwarp drive was a success. | | | One impact of his theory was that even with conventional warp drive a part of the warp field would always extend into deeper subspace domains, and this could be indirectly determined by a slight deviation of the warp drive power expenditure from the predicted value at a certain warp factor. | | | On the other hand, transwarp was efficient only in the range above Warp 6. |

| | The warp drive was possibly transwarp, since it could reach at least warp factor 13.0 (this could also be just a recalibration of the warp factor scale). | | | The Borg transwarp prototype covered a distance of 65 lightyears in a time of 9 seconds (measured at home with a stopwatch at 'Descent' (TNG)), which turns out to be ~228,000,000c. | | | NOTE 1: Although warp 10 is infinite speed on the warp scale, the Borg transwarp prototype is capable of exceeding that limit to a maximum of almost warp 30. |

| | While the warp drive is inherently free of such effects, they have to be considered if the ship is powered by the impulse drive only. | | | The warp drive of Cochrane's Phoenix was probably not yet powered by a matter/antimatter reaction, but by a fusion reactor, and warp one was sustained for only some seconds. | | | The warp drive was first successfully tested by Zefram Cochrane in 2063, however, other civilizations such as the Vulcans had discovered warp drive a long time ago. |

| | U.S.S. Belgica - Transwarp drive |
| | The warp drive that we see on TNG is not transwarp or ultrawarp or whatever you want to call it. | | | This seems to be saying that the transwarp drive concept was a failure, but they used the information from portions of that project to increase the efficiency of standard warp drives. | | | It is an improved version of the same warp drive that we saw on TOS (at least the fifth generation warp drive according to Goldstien's Spaceflight Chronology). |

| | In any event, this article examines the Excelsior class (and its variants), in some detail, and ancillary issues, like (the success of the) transwarp drive are discussed, too. | | | The exact mechanics of this new system are dubious, but it may simply have been a better version of the tried-and-true warp drive. | | | It is possible that while the transwarp drive was a failure--and I find that a bit hard to believe--some of the technology could have been salvaged, and a TNG-era style "warp core" could have been the result. |

| | Once into the first transwarp domain the basic shape of this curve repeats itself, although it is shifted upwards relative to the first by the higher energy requirements involved in transwarp drive. | | | However after testing the drive for another 2 years, further research into the transwarp drive found that by using the Dilithium chamber which powered 'conventional' warp cores created such a drain, that the useful life of the Dilithium was a year at most. | | | The theory allowed for an infinite number of such domains, each separated by a warp barrier. |

| | Area 001: Technology |
| | Cloaking a ship requires precisely balancing the radioactive emissions from the warp drive nacelles, dissipating all electromagnetic radiation, gravitational fields and other energy emissions emanating from the ship, and distorting space in such a way that electromagnetic radiation and energy emissions are directed around the ship through subspace at velocities faster than light. | | | An object traveling at transwarp velocity would theoretically be moving infinitely fast, and would therefore in principle be occupying all points in the universe simultaneously. | | | Controlling the point of exit from transwarp, and therefore the destination point in normal space, remains a significant unknown to Federation science. |
