<p class="MsoNormal"> "In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the warp drive is a form of faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion.
<i>Hyperdrive</i> and <i>jump drive</i> are alternative methods of FTL travel commonly used in fiction." (<i>cf</i>. "Star Trek Dictionary and Research Guide"
<a href="http://www.123exp-fantasy.com/t/01804080189/">http://www.123exp-fantasy.com/t/01804080189/</a> with webliography)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">TUCKER: The gravimetric field displacement manifold, commonly known
<br>
as the warp reactor. Just think of it as a great big engine but
<br>
instead of using electricity or chemical fuel it runs on
<br>
antimatter. See this swirling light? When matter and antimatter<br>
collide it creates a whole lot of energy. We channel that energy<br>
through those conduits over there. They lead to the two large<br>
glowing cylinders you may have seen on the outside of the ship.
<br>
SONSORRA: The nacelles. <br>
TUCKER: That's right. <br>
SONSORRA: Which contain warp coils that create the subspace displacement field.<br>
TUCKER: I see you already know a thing or two about starship engines.
<br>
SONSORRA: I'm a warp field theorist. <br>
TUCKER: Oh... Well, I guess that covers the basics. [ENT "Cold Front"]<br>
