![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For practical reasons, warp drive is not used in the vicinity of massive objects, as the disproportionately high warp speeds tend to produce a "slingshot effect," catapulting a starship out of this space-time continuum altogether. It is larger near massive objects such as stars and black holes, as space is curved around such objects to an even greater extent. ![]() This variable, called Cochrane's factor and sometimes indicated by the Greek letter chi (X), can be as high as 1,500 in dense dust and gas clouds and as little as 1 in the intergalactic void. The classic WF 3×c = V formula (where WF 3 is the warp factor cubed and c is the speed of light, or about 300,000 kilometers per second) has often been used to determine faster-than-light velocities but it is obvious that this formula is insufficient if we consider that starships have visited the galactic center, approximately 30,000 light years distant (a trip which would take thirty years, even at warp factor ten, using this formula).Īs Zefram Cochrane pointed out in 2053, actual warp speeds relative to the speed of light may be calculated by multiplying the warp factor cubed by a variable that accounts for the curvature of space in a fourth dimension by the presence of mass subspace, a continuum in which a vessel under warp drive travels, is not curved in a fourth spatial dimension, and therefore offers a linear "short cut" between points in our galaxy. The 4 versions of Warp Drive technologies are Standard Warp (Enterprise/ Trek Original Series), TransWarp (Trek Movies), UltraWarp (Trek Next Generation/Deep Space 9/Voyage), and SlipStream (Voyage).Įxcerpt from the 1980 Bantam Books, Star Trek Maps by Jeff Maynard: The 3 eras are Enterprise/ Trek Original Series, Trek Movies, and Trek Next Generation/Deep Space 9/Voyage.
