Transwarp drive is an advanced form of propulsion used by some Star Trek civilizations. They enable ships to travel much faster than conventional warp drives.
Properties
Transwarp drive systems are capable of achieve speeds in excess of warp 10, which is a speed barrier for most Star Trek civilizations. Warp 10 has occasionally been described as an "infinite" speed[1] at which the vessel passes through every point in the universe at once, but in other instances it is simply a speed greater than warp 10[2].
Methods
Transwarp drives can be self-contained systems that propel a ship to high-warp speed, or they can be "transwarp conduit" systems through which ships can travel at extraordinary speeds between fixed entry/exit points.
Users
- The Borg are known to use both transwarp drives and transwarp conduit systems.
- The Voth are known to use transwarp drives.
