  1. Warp drive

    A warp drive or a drive enabling space warp is a fictional superluminal (faster than the speed of light) spacecraft propulsion system in many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek, [1] and a subject of ongoing physics research. The general concept of "warp drive" was introduced by John W. Campbell in his 1957 novel Islands of Space and was popularized by the Star Trek series.

  2. Impulse engine

    An impulse engine or impulse drive was a common propulsion system used on starships used to create impulse power in order to achieve impulse speeds. In Federation starships, the impulse drive was essentially an augmented fusion rocket, usually consisting of one or more fusion reactors, a driver coil assembly, and a vectored thrust nozzle to direct the plasma exhaust. The fusion reaction ...

  3. Warp drive

    Warp drive or warp engine was a technology that allowed space travel at faster-than-light speeds. It worked by generating warp fields to form a subspace bubble that enveloped the starship, distorting the local spacetime continuum and moving the starship at velocities that could greatly exceed the speed of light. These velocities were referred to as warp factors. Warp drive was the most common ...

  4. Technology in Star Trek

    In the Star Trek fictional universe, subspace is a feature of space-time that facilitates faster-than-light transit, in the form of interstellar travel or the transmission of information. [4] Faster-than-light warp drive travel via subspace obeys different laws of physics. The name "subspace" has also been adopted and used in other fictional settings, such as the Stargate franchise, The ...

    The ship's main phaser batteries can destroy matter over vast distances and are powered directly by the warp engines. The Martian heat ray in H.G. Wells' 1898 novel " The War of the Worlds " is ...

  6. Nacelle

    A nacelle was an outboard housing structure that contained warp coils and other components that together made a starship's warp engine, while Impulse nacelles of a sublight shuttlecraft housed the ship's impulse drive engines. (TNG: "In Theory", "Descent" display graphic). Many terms were used to describe these structures, including: warp nacelles, warp engine nacelles, warp field nacelles ...

  7. 8 Star Trek Warp Drives (& Which Is The Fastest)

    Summary. Warp drive is the standard FTL engine in Star Trek, reaching up to Warp 10 cap, but may harm subspace. Starfleet explores Transwarp options, like Borg conduits & Quantum Slipstream, for faster travel. Proto-Drive & Spore Drive offer instant travel, each with unique pros & cons, pushing Starfleet ahead in FTL tech. In order to seek out ...

Registry: Enterprise Class: NX Service: 2151-2161 (10 years) Captain: Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) United Earth Starfleet's Enterprise is the main setting of Star Trek: Enterprise (2001-2005). Enterprise was the first Earth-built starship capable of reaching Warp 5.The ship was commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer and played an instrumental ...

  9. FSD: Starship Operations

    Starfleet vessels use warp engines to travel at velocities up to 3,000 times the speed of light. A warp engine works by distorting the space-time continuum, pushing a vessel into subspace and thereby reducing its apparent mass. Once its effective mass has been reduced, a vessel can overcome the restrictions imposed by Einstein's general theory ...

  10. Star Trek canon just revealed a mind-blowing new type of starship

    In 'Star Trek: Prodigy,' episode 5, a new kind of warp engine is revealed. Here's what it means, how it's new, and why it's still slower than DISCO. ... For Federation ships in Trek lore, the ...

    This is discussed in the Star Trek TNG Technical Manual (considered a canon source of info about the Star Trek universe).. In short, different engine configurations have been tried in the past but for ships over a certain size, a twin-warp-nacelle design seems to be the easiest way to achieve a well balanced warp field as well as offering the best opportunity to come out of warp in a ...

  12. What even are impulse engines? : r/startrek

    Impulse engines are essentially a (mostly) vanilla physics sublight engine. They utilize a ship's fusion reactors to create a plasma rocket that propels a ship forward at relativistic speeds. They have an artificially imposed speed limit of .25c to avoid major issues with time dilation. While impulse engines are essentially based on Newton's ...

  13. Star Trek Online Impulse Engines Guide

    The higher the engine power the faster you can go. Engine power also affect how fast your ship can turn in the same manner. Your throttle affects how much thrust your impulse engine is generating. It has a linear response. And you can view you ship's current speed by holding the mouse pointer over the throttle bar.

  14. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

    The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship operated by Starfleet, and the first Federation starship to bear the name Enterprise. During its career, the Enterprise served as the Federation flagship and was in service from 2245 to 2285. During the latter years of its life, the Enterprise was refitted into a Constitution II-class starship and served as ...
