Warp drive was a form of faster-than-light travel. Human ships used warp drive by the 26th century and even into the 51st century.
There are at leas three types of warp drive: "continuum warp", "implicate theory" and "supralight speed with dumpers". Toroidal time dilators are components of a warp drive. (TV: Warriors' Gate)
Before human life - and all life on Earth for that matter - even began, the Jagaroth created spaceships that used warp drive. The drive could be set at warp 1, warp 2, or warp 3. However, warp 3 would have been suicide if the ship did not have a fully working warp drive. (TV: City of Death)
Human ships of the 26th century were powered by anti-matter, which may have been required for warp drive. Should the navigational computers be tampered with while a ship was in warp drive, it could disintegrate. Warp drive-powered starships were in use up to and possibly beyond the 51st century. (TV: Earthshock, The Girl in the Fireplace)
Behind the scenes
- The use of the term "warp drive" may have been a nod to the Star Trek franchise, which featured warp engines.
