Space warping (disambiguation)

A space warp is the idea of warping thru space via space warp portals at ~50 Light Years/ hour (50ly/hr). The term is used in science and space travel.

History of Space Warp
In 2058, during the beginning of the First Galactic Era, scientist were thinking of how to transit to the Earth System to outer solar systems. At the time, the fastest expedition ship, the USS Firefly could only go at 0.35ly/hr. It was thought that it would take around 50 years to travel to outer systems. Then, on Sept. 14, 2058, Dr. Amari Simpson discovers Portal-V1. This portal was discovered when a probe, named Victory-R9V, suddenly transported from Mercury to RV-4, 86 Light Years away. This means it traveled at around 100 light years in one second. With this, they sent a small ship, called the Warper, to the portal. Using a cycle of the engine, they were able to enter the portal and travel to the same point, but at a slower 34ly/hr. Still, this discovery was massive. In 2061, they were able to create a specialized 'warp engine' to enter the portal at a consistent 50ly/hr.

Terminology
Warping: The action of heading into a Space Warp Portal

Cycling: Turning off the main engines to send enough power to the warp engine.

Warp Engine: A specialized engine below the main engine that allows for fast, quick travel for seven seconds at around 50yl/hr.

Warp Routes: The route the portal will take you.

Warp Storms: A cloud of electricity inside the portal.

Use in Space Travel
The use in space travel is important do to the distance. A Class-II transporter is able to travel between the Citidel and Uzumaki North, which is 104 light years away, in around two hours. In fact, we can use math to prove this.

A class-II ship travels using the warp engine at 73ly/hr. Using that math, the distance between the Citidel's VR04-0 Portal, the closest to Uzumaki North, is around 104.5 light years. Using that, 73 light year per hour / 104 light years is around 1.45 hours.
