Starships had several methods of transversing the great distances between points of travel.

* | * [[Hyperspace]] often required significant power. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stones of Blood]]'') By the [[30th century]], several species such as [[human]]s and [[Hith]] were experimenting with different methods of utilising [[Icaron]]s for use in spaceship design with regards to hyperspace.

* | * As early as [[Distant past|4 billion BC]], the [[Jagaroth]] had utilised [[warp drive]] as a method of propulsion. ([[DW]]: ''[[City of Death]]'') By the [[26th century]], human spaceships utilising [[anti-matter]] were propelled using warp drive.
