Before human life — and all life on [[Earth]] for that matter — even began, the [[Jagaroth]] created [[Jagaroth ship|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.

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]].
