	FSD: Starship Operations - Warp Engines
		Warp fields are measured according to the amount of subspace stress they generate; field stresses are measured in cochranes.
		Thus, whereas a ship traveling at warp 1 is traveling at c, a ship moving at warp 4 is traveling at 102c, and a ship flying at warp 9 is traveling at 1516c.
		The curve becomes extremely steep in the warp 9.9 range, and enormous increases in speed are needed to progress from warp 9.91 to warp 9.92.

	Warp drive - Memory Alpha
		It does this by generating warp fields to form a subspace bubble that envelops the starship, distorting the local spacetime continuum and moving the starship at velocities that exceed the speed of light.
		The warp plasma is funneled to plasma injectors into a series of field coils, usually located in remote warp nacelles, which generate the desired warp field.
		Warp theory continued to advance with the development of the first transwarp drive engines in the mid-2280s, which would have theoretically allowed greater efficiency and higher warp speeds.

	Warp drive (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warp factors are not simply a unit of speed that is related to regular units of speed through a fancy formula.
		In the half-open interval from warp 9 to warp 10, the exponent of w increases toward infinity.
		Warp cores utilize a matter-antimatter reaction that is regulated by dilithium crystals.

	REC.ARTS.STARTREK.TECH FAQ: Warp Velocities
		Second, the new warp speeds couldn't be TOO much faster, or it would be possible for the ship to cross the galaxy in a fairly brief time.
		The speeds for warp factors of 9.6, 9.9 and 9.99 were obviously calculated using exponents of 3.34, 3.5 and 3.9 respectively, and the speed for a warp factor of 9.2 was probably calculated using an exponent of 3.338.
		All of the formulas we have for warp speeds predict Warp 7.3 to be approximately 746c.

	REC.ARTS.STARTREK.TECH FAQ: Warp and Subspace
		See the Warp Velocities FAQ for discussions of the various warp speed scales and formulas to calculate speeds given a warp factor.
		Warp drive is not used, the ship moves by manipulating the quantum energy field and using their impulse engines.
		It's then more efficient for ships to align their warp drives with the plane of the galaxy, so flying "up" and "down" in the galactic plane (which is relatively thin, about 1/10th to 1/40th the diameter of the galaxy) would take more energy.

		Another point - that can't be a speed at which Voyager can cruise for a long period of time, despite the quote; at that speed, Voyager could cross 70,000 light years in a little under 10 years, making their journey much shorter.
		The combination of a tractor beam, impulse drive, and warp drive would be very strange, and many explanations come to mind, such as the warp field causing the tractor effect to "slip" away, while the impulse provides propulsion, or the impulse fighting the tractor beam intertially while the warp drive provides propulsion, etc.
		As they cross the warp field, they are repeatedly accelerated to FTL velocities and then slowed to STL speeds, and start spewing out something like Cerenkov radiation, a (real!) blueish light emitted when particles moving faster than the local speed of light (in a dense medium) are forced to slow down.

	Warp speeds wireless Net access \| CNET News.com
		Warp joins a growing number of companies aiming to provide faster Internet service to businesses who can pay a premium.
		Warp's Access Service transmits information over microwave frequencies normally used for television transmission.
		Warp says that pricing for the basic, unlimited Internet access service at 256 kbps will start at $125 per month.

	WARP for the HP 42s
		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.
		Warp speeds attain their "ideal" (WF^3*c = V) values, and the transit time to the Andromeda galaxy becomes thousands rather than hundreds of years.
		The correct warp factor formula is therefore expressed as XWF^3c = V, where the value of X varies with the local density of matter.

		See the Warp Velocities Mini-FAQ for discussions of the various warp speed scales and formulas to calculate speeds given a warp factor.
		Also, in "Caretaker" [VOY] Captain Janeway mentioned that the warp core of a starship would leave behind a resonance trace signature even if the ship was destroyed - this indicates that the constant matter/antimatter reaction in a starship's warp core generates subspace fields as well.
		The only hint that TOS, TFS and TNG warp drives might be different is in their visual appearance on screen - only the TFS Enterprise "blurs" while in warp.

		Also, in "Caretaker" [VOY] Captain Janeway mentioned that the warp core of a starship would leave behind a resonance trace signature even if the ship was destroyed—this indicates that the constant matter/antimatter reaction in a starship's warp core generates subspace fields as well.
		Transfer through the conduits is 20 times faster than the fastest warp available to Federation science (Warp 9.7 or 9.8), covering light-years in a matter of seconds rather than hours—just like a wormhole.
		The only hint that TOS, the classic films, and TNG warp drives might be different is in their visual appearance on screen—in the classic films the Enterprise "blurs" while in warp.

		Note: warp 10 is meaningless -- a starship traveling at warp 10 would occupy all points in the universe simultaneously.
