The drive could be set up to [[power 3]]. However, power 3 would have been suicide if the ship did not have a fully working warp drive. ([[TV]]: ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'') | ||

Should the [[navigational computer]]s 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]].

The [[Imperial Flagship]] likely possessed an extremely fast version of this drive as [[Ludens Nimrod Kendrick Cord Longstaff XLI|Porridge]] stated that it could "warp jump" into orbit within seconds of detecting his identification. Indeed, the Imperial Flagship arrived at [[Hedgewick's World of Wonders]] and [[transmat]]ted the survivors of [[Battle of Hedgewick's World of Wonders|the battle]] aboard in a matter of ten or so seconds.
