Maybe the Excelsior had a 'Threshold' moment. We know they had to redo the interior when Sulu took over, maybe because 500 salamanders and their offspring made a bit of a mess.
Through a transporter accident, he ended up traveling through time and space to a galaxy far, far away. He found himself on-board a ship called the Century Vulture or the Millenium Falcon, something like that, anyway she was the fastest ship in fleet. There he discovered the "hyperdrive" an engine many times more powerful and faster than Warp drive and just as fast Transwarp. He then made his way back, installed it on the Enterprise, and there is your explanation.
Voyagers Quantum Slipstream was a workable technology - the main issue is that Voyager´s deflector array could do it in a pinch, but not sustainably. Also Voyager itselfd require rebuilding beyond their capacity - hull would need to be modified to withstand it, already mentioned deflector array would require different design, sensor package would need to be done differently to make it safe. Galaxy class with its wide and high profile could not likely do it. long story short - what Voyager brought is perfectly sufficient to make it work. It just needed a ship that is dedicated to make it work and not just a patchwork solution attempted on Voyager.
Awesome video!! "Transwarp in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." One would think during the Dominion War Section 31 would have perfected the transwarp drive in order to give the Federation Alliance a fighting chance rather than poison the Founders. Or use what they could during the wreckage from Borg ships to construct a Federation version of a transwarp coil/drive.
I wonder if the dominion experimented with faster than warp technology in order to get its fleets to the alpha quadrant during the war and the blockade of the wormhole.
The problem with salvaging Borg coils is that they had a failsafe. If the cube or sphere was ever disabled or nearly destroyed the coils would self-destruct to prevent salvage.
"Accelerate to infinite velocity." That episode is just so... Oooh it riles me. Even if we accept that infinity is reachable in a sci-fi 'verse like Star Trek, how do you 'accelerate' towards it? How many times do you need to double your speed until you hit infinity?
Having the ability to travel to any point in the universe (Threshold) the side effect of turning into a giant catfish and seemingly turning back with relative ease would be a small price to pay. Great watch.
Voyager brought up so many different drive systems. Transwarp, co-axial warp, quantum slipstream, temporal displacement drives, etc. How is TW different than QS, or CW for example. Perhaps Voyagers warp 10 trial may have been do-able with a governor added to stop the speed exceeding, say, warp 9.9999999, thereby preventing the damage done by warp 10.
To quote Ben Franklin, "I didn't fail a thousand times to develop Transwarp drive, I simply discovered a thousand new ways to not develop it, but I only need one to work."
And also to figure out how to navigate without a living pilot, since one option involves enslaving a creature and the other violates Federation law against genetic modification.
I wonder if Transwarp is fast enough to cross galaxies in a reasonable amount of time. If it could, Star Trek: Intergalactic could be an interesting show.
In season 7 of TNG Geordie said it was 20x faster then the Enterprise (Borg ship) approx 39,000x C) Slipstream drive is faster @ 240,000x and upwards .

In 1935 there was the first nuclear fusion produced by man. In 2019 we are still trying to develop a sustainable fusion reactor. It makes it feel more realistic to see that transwarp technology cannot be invented over the course of just a few episodes. I always loved the fact that Star Trek was produced by people with a good relationship to logic and science and that they've invited people with good understanding of technology to participate on production. (I miss it alot.)
Then you should watch DSC and the New Picard Series, since real life scientists are involved with those shows and the surrounding tech! And Kurtzman has done a fantastic job of updating Trek to this age :)
Who else thought that Q was behind turning Paris and Janeway into amphibians? I always felt that it was a tidbit that Q would drop at a later date and earn one of those perfect acid glares that Janeway reserved just for him. Q as a convenient plot device aside, he always seemed to put humans in situations that forced them to grow, so they wouldn't be annihilated later on. If warp 10 had succeeded when it did, not only would the show have ended, but the Borg would have remained too great a threat.
I read back in the 80's that transwarp drive was just a set-up for the 'bucket of bolts' gag in which the USS Excelsior grinds to a halt. There's no such thing really as transwarp, it was only ever intended as a movie joke. ST3 does have the best quote ever in Trek; 'The more you overthink the plumbing, it's easier to stop up the drain' said Scotty to McCoy.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Really?. I've watched lots of Trek and never noticed it. All Good things had silly stuff like 'Warp 14' but no transwarp.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Aren't transwarp conduits just Borg tech, not UFP?. Strictly speaking, they're a bit like wormholes, not really warp drive which is the manipulation of a subspace displacement field. Or as Geordie once eluded to, like dropping into an already fast-moving river.
I don’t know why Voyager’s crew abandoned the Warp 10 project. The only side effect was something the Doctor could fully reverse. So, slap the Warp 10 engine on Voyager, get the ship home, then reverse the salamander thing. It’s not like the Doctor would have transformed and couldn’t do anything. I guess they were just feeling lazy, or Janeway didn’t feel like giving birth to more of her crew’s kids...
Yeah, in the episode of Voyager wherein the crew tested their own transwarp drive, Janeway decided to mothball the entire project after just one less-than-ideal result which is stupid. Instead, they should've made a prolonged series of sequential transwarp jumps staggered by periods during which the engine system would be purged of tachyon buildup. I bet that they would've gotten back in time for Tuvok to get his rocks off before succumbing to chronic blue balls.
3:15 The hull structure (and structural integrity field) reinforcements originally designed to survive transwarp stresses is the reason Excelsior-type hulls remain in service in the TNG era, as such were more than sufficient to handle the vastly greater (but still not _transwarp_ ) TNG-era "standard" warp velocities.
Sorry but you are incorrect, there is NOTHING in canon to suggest that THAT is the reason they're still around in the 24th Century... In fact, Canon says the opposite as the Miranda and Oberth are ALSO still around and have 24th Century Warp...
I love this video of transwarp. In 1998, i believe, a series of Trek books came out called "The Captain's Table". In the end of one of the books, if I'm not remembering it wrong, a future USS Enterprise was about to use "sidewarp" to began to explore the gulf between galaxies. Hopefully, this was a prelude to the premise that transwarp was mastered or an entirely new direction was taken to reach "sidewarp".
While not transwarp, the Quantum slipstream drive I think would have been the more viable option for Starfleet if they could perfect the phase variant issues Voyager in counted during its test of the technology, i mean after the drive was de-commissioned the knowledge and technology was still there, especially after Voyager made it back to Earth so its not unreasonable to assume Starfleet would have studied the technology and found a solution.
Could you also tackle the "Slipstream" drive? That seems to be the final & fastest method of galactic & inter-galactic travel now in the Star Trek universe. Or a video comparing what "Transwarp" was supposed to be, versus what Slipstream enabled the Federation to do, for readily exploring the Milky Way galaxy (quickly returning back to the Delta Quadrant) & inter-galactic travel to other galaxies ?
Though not canon- mild transwarp speeds can be accomplished in STO, presumably by "skipping over" warp 10, which for some reason is not infinite velocity once you pass it I guess. STO also allows the ability to make use of transwarp conduits, and mild use of Quantum Slipstream drive. It's certainly fun.
I wonder whatever happened to Janeway's and Parris' amphibian kids, and to think, for a short time she had what she wanted, a family and kids of her own. Lol It would have been really funny if the Doctor had said to her " Oh, you'll be happy to know that I was also able to give your children a human genome as well."
Very Interesting!! Could you tell me, which episode did Paris (?) was trying to achieve Trans-warp and got mutated.... I Kind-a watch the 'Voyager' series here-and-there, but unfamiliar with that one. Thanks for the post.
Lets not forget the slipstream too ^^ As star trek goes on their always a new form of ftl that appears. Whats next hyperspace or jump/warp gate technology?
Since this video clearly claims to be based in canon and canon only, it would be really valuable to include on the visuals the citations for every claim. For example, the claim in the audio that the Federation was growing at an exponential rate would be accompanied by text specifying the episode or movie where this stated.
Great video, will you be doing a companion one for the Quantum Slipstream drive from Voyager versions of which are seen in 'Hope and Fear', 'Timeless' and 'Course:Oblivion' however the latter is the Deamon planet replica rather than the real Voyager.
Actually the next video is on SlipStream and then after that one is the Spore Drives... Im on a Star Trek propulsion Systems kick currently :P As for Colabs... Ive met and spoken with many other Trek UA-camrs. Some I liked and have become friends, others well no comment.. There are huge probs with colabs on other channels, BUT if one approached me with a good idea I would do that... But personally I never go out and seek that type as I am still relatively a new channel and dont want to appear leaching off others... This channel is rising because of my hard work, not who i work with... If that makes sense...
Great video as always. Thank you. It makes me wonder though about the episode, I don't remember what it was called, where the brother and sister science team were trying to and at the sisters death showed that warp was causing harm to sub space and the federation decreased maximum warp usage to 5 unless necessary, which honestly after that episode seemed to go away. I just wonder then about trans warps effects. Kinda like "oh, warp is hurting sub space... Screw it... Let's go faster" heh
The Episode is TNG: Force Of Nature, And it probably doesnt have the same effect as transwarp occurs in a different layer of subspace... And thank you so much :)
OHHHH and remember ships like Voyager, the Enterprise E, The Prometheus etc had a new style of Warp Engine that did not damage subspace at all! YES they can figure that out over night but in 100 years transwarp is STILL impossible! :P
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics ahh. I didn't know that. It would be interesting to know how they figured out what it was that was causing the damage and how they corrected it
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Like to see you do a show on who you would like to see show up in the new Picard. Meaning old characters from other Trek show and ask the followers of your show. Who they would like to see. The Doctor and 7 of 9.
i feel like tranwarp is like the hyperdrive in star wars. the ship goes into warm hole to achieve extreme speed which is not possible in normal space. I wonder what class of ship was able to go faster than warp 10 in tos scale cause the scale to be changed. then you hyperwrap drive which tradition wrap drive able to go faster in than normal warp drive in normal space.
Einstein's equations indicate that infinite energy would be required to accelerate greater-than-quantum-sized mass to lightspeed. But even with Treknology in play and warp bubbles and subspace, this suggests that you would likewise need infinite energy to feed one's _structural integrity field_ to hold up under the stresses of "infinite speed".
Something I never understood: When Voyager attempted to create a transwarp conduit tachyons began to leak into the warp core. This was investigated and determined to be an accident. Knowing this was an accident, couldn't the Voyager crew isolate the cause and stop it from happening again? As far as I know, no further attempts were ever made to pursue this technology until Paris' transwarp flight which was a different form of the technology altogether.
Well in that particular engine system there may not have been a way to prevent it... Also Paris's transwarp flight happened BEFORE the tachyon leak episode!
But the Excelsior was unable to break the transwarp barrier because Scotty had disabled the engines not because it didn't work. One can assume that they had indeed made a proper transwarp engine because they would have put it to the test before ever putting it on a ship.
You really think Starfleet after towing the Excelsior back didnt say HEY what happened? And then in thier investigation didnt notice a few chips were missing? Of course they did, and we know that they figured it out since 1 of the charges laid against Kirk and company in ST4 was sabotage of the USS Excelsior... So they knew EXACTLY what happened and so the project failed simply because it didnt work... NOTHING to do with Scotty!
ugh Trek takes way too many absurd liberties when it comes to what can and can't be repaired or restored if the human body is damaged or altered in some way. I won't even add a list of examples it would be too long
I personally believe that the reason Tuvok developed the Vulcan equivalent of Alzheimer's out of the blue, with no previous genetic indications, is because of infinitesimal errors introduced to his genetic structure when Tuvix was separated back out into Tuvok + Neelix. Since Neelix was left behind in the Delta Quadrant, we don't got to see if he developed any rare-beyond-belief syndromes in turn. Transporters are precise to a ludicrous sigma level, but they ain't perfect. Janeway didn't "save two people by sacrificing one", she _damned_ one of them (her friend of decades!) to a slow, hellish death.
I wonder after the federation finally perfected transwarp speed they will need to raise the bar on the Prime Directive again so to not interfere with warp capable species until they have learned how to go to transwarp. It seems most of the species who had transwarp speeds seems to ignore or look down on others and avoid communication and stay out of their “local” problems.
You'd think they'd halt research into transwarp, what with the galactic speed limit and the whole "warp drive wrecks spacetime" thing...Maybe it's time those spore drive files were declassified!
Warp Drive USED to wreck subspace, keep in mind warp nacelles AFTER it was discovered were redesigned to avoid this problem... Thats where the nacelles on voyager and the Enterprise E came from... Also since Transwarp occurs in a deeper level of subspace it most likely does NOT damage space at all!
Skimmed but didn’t read through all the comments. In your canon explanation, how do you reconcile that Warp 11 was a “thing” in TOS, while in TNG Warp 10 becomes infinite velocity. (See the episode where the Enterprise is taken over by Kelvans.) I had just assumed that Excelsior’s trans warp drive became the standard and TNG warp factors were TOS “trans warp” factors. Or do you have another explanation? Thanks... I rarely indulge my inner geek to this level. Lol
That's simple, it's a different warp scale... Sometime in between TOS (Star Trek 6) and TNG the warp scale was re-written as Starfleet came to understand warp speed better... And no, TNG couldnt be transwarp, as if it was, then no one would be calling Borg Travel Transwarp, as they would already themselves have transwarp. Also velocities of Warp are nowhere near transwarp, as transwarp is 84x or more faster then warp 9.9... Hope this helps!
voy warp 10 was the 'fastest' and surely faster than e.g. borg transwarp or any other means of transport afaik and remember (not involving e.g. the q). even in the initial tng traveller episode, enterprise-d took some actual time to travel the vast distances, but never occupied all space at once. thoughts?
Something I could see happening. Maybe. Federation ships DO get the warp 10 ability. Or at least some. With the condition that afterwards, all crew get an injection or whatever to prevent mutation.
The question I ask is: Did the transwarp experiment REALLY fail? Or did Starfleet just ASSUME it failed after Scotty walked away with a set of ball bearings from the 'transwarp computer drive' ? Scotty: "Here, Doctor. Souvenirs from one surgeon to another. I took them out of her main transwarp computer drive."
No Starfleet didnt assume it failed and we know that for the simple fact that in Trek IV: The Voyage home they charge Scotty with Sabotage of the excelsior... Meaning they knew what he did and would have replaced those missing chips!
That's kind of a silly thing to say, since the core isnt in Space, the ship is... For anyone onboard a ship there IS a horizontal and Vertical... And yes it was a vertical warp core!
Interestingly, you neglected to mention the TNG episode, The Nth Degree, in which an encounter with an alien signal rewired Lt. Barclay's mind which allowed him to hotwire the Enterprise with his brain and travel at a speed many times exponentially faster than transwarp.
@@warhammernerd52Daxx-Lorenzo898 Dune by Frank Herbert was a Masterpiece ! I was 13 when I first read it; and it totally changed how I saw the world. IT was not only a brilliant work of Sci Fi, but it also talked about the unstoppable force of combining Religion and Politics with its inherent dangers such as creating of their own Messiah along with his Fanatical Followers that conquered the Known Universe. And I loved the plans within plans, the different groups like the Mentats, Bene Gesserits, Face- Dancers, Sardaukars, and the many other different types of Humans that evolved to more than what they were. The sad thing though is that they are coming out with another Dune Movie. I just don't believe that the Dune series can ever be brought onto film; thus far, those that tried have failed Miserably. I think that the only way to bring justice to Dune would be like how HBO brought Game of Thrones onto film. You just can't tell the Dune story in 2, 6, or even 12 hours. It has to be created as an Event spanning a few years. It is just too complex a story to fit a few hours.
At 250 million times the speed of light, they could certainly be home in time for dinner. But, though not a central part of your great video, what about the effects of time dilation and subspace communication? At those speeds wouldn't people and situations elsewhere be aging at different rates? 🤔
There are no time dilatation as transwarp, like warp, occurs in subspace, as well as fields generated by the ship travelling at those speeds, see VOY Shattered :) And thank you :)
When did they ever say transwarp failed? . When did they say there was a new warp scale? Wouldn't the new warp scale indicate that transwarp worked? Mr Scott sabotaging the transwarp drive didn't make for a test failure, just a delay
They dont need to say it failed for us to know it failed... If it had succeeded then starships would be travelling at Transwarp rather the warp, and Voyager wouldnt be trying to achieve transwarp... Mr Scotts Sabotage hasw NOTHING to do with Transwarps Failure!
Traveling outside our galaxy is an entirely different kettle of fish from whenever Starfleet does develop a transwarp drive. Recall in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" TOS Second Pilot and S1E3, the Enterprise is on a mission to travel outside of our galaxy and runs into the mysterious energy barrier apparently surrounding our galaxy. In attempting to travel through the mysterious barrier the Enterprise is damaged and Gary Mitchell and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner are both knocked unconscious later developing fantastic god-like abilities. From what we see in the episode Gary Mitchell seemed to be capable of anything TNG's well known Q could do, and of course there's plenty of fan theories out there about possible connections. Unfortunately, no STAR TREK series or movie has ever addressed traveling outside our galaxy again. Hopefully, if extra-galactic travel is addressed again the people making the show or movie will remember "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
Except TOS dealt with the Barrier in 2 separate episodes after... By Any Other Name and Is There In truth No beauty, for some reason there was NO ill effects for Traveling through the Barrier... So shield tech may have improved to combat this!
Transwarp conduits sound awfully similar to hyperspace lanes...hmmm. Star gates are awfully similar to wormholes. There appears to be a high degree of sharing of concepts among the various science fiction franchises.
I could never understand why voyager never went through with the treanswarp project ok fair enough there is the salamander element but emh could reverse it and would not be affected when it was used zip then turn everyone back even using him as chg
You know I find it strange we never got a in universe explanation on why Starfleet never tried to fix the transwarp drive in the excelsior and/or never tried it again. You would have thought they would have figured it out by Picards time at least but nope....
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Hard to say either way, a non cannon explanation is certainly welcome in this case to fill in the blanks and cover the holes.

@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Its either that or they lost the transwarp plans, next to the arc of the covenant and that martian war machine, right behind the TARDIS, next to the Jupiter 2, and slightly behind Quarks shuttle.
I remember the first time I heard about the source of Transwarp Drive it was in Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, which is now considered non-canon, but it explained the Transwarp Drive technology as having its origins in TOS episode, The Tholian Web, where the USS Defiant was trapped in an "interphase" region of space that allowed passage between parallel dimensions. The Enterprise used the the spatial rift to escape the Tholains to a point 2.72 parsecs(9 light years) away. This, of course, is no longer the canonical origin of Transwarp Drive.
If warp 10 is infinite velocity, putting the ship everywhere in the universe at the same time, shouldn't the ship be destroyed instantly, as it's simultaneously in the centers of a billion stars and black holes? Or if the ship was somehow able to keep it's own integrity, shouldn't it destroy everything in the universe by flying straight through it at unimaginable speed? This idea seems to have been poorly thought out on Voyager.
The Borg use transwarp corridors to travel at transwarp. Paris traveled at warp 10. It would seem that warp 10, transwarp, and slipstream drives ( from the voyager series are different forms FSL transportation. ) Weird Question, is traveling at warp 10 the same as traveling at transwarp ?
No they are different things... Warp 10 is infinite Warp, meaning you occupy ALL points in the Universe at once, BUT to achieve Infinite Warp a Transwarp Drive is required!
*Slipstream is effectively the same thing* ???? makes you wonder why starfleet didn’t dump huge resources into trans warp research, especially with voyager transmitting all its data to earth (including extensive scans etc of transwarp coils)
TriAngulum Audio Studios how do you adapt voyagers and the flyers warp systems to the coil without understanding it lol In the new Picard series they should be using slipstream as they do in the books. (I KNOW NOT CANNON) but will be nice for starfleet to have transwarp

To quote Ben Franklin, "I didn't fail a thousand times to develop Transwarp drive, I simply discovered a thousand new ways to not develop it, but I only need one to work."
They need to perfect the spore Drive to keep it from damaging inner microbial space, and boom you got something better transwarp Drive!
Agreed!
And also to figure out how to navigate without a living pilot, since one option involves enslaving a creature and the other violates Federation law against genetic modification.
I wonder if Transwarp is fast enough to cross galaxies in a reasonable amount of time. If it could, Star Trek: Intergalactic could be an interesting show.

I like the Wrath of Kahn nod at the end, "When you consider the possibility of being able to cross tens of thousands of light years in a very short amount of time, the benefits of this technology becomes clear." Funny thing is I don't remember having to submit to a retina scan in order to view this summary. ;-)
LOL Your computer or mobile device automatically scans your retina without asking, geez were in the future here :P LOL Thank you so much, most people dont notice the little things like that I do! :)
In 1935 there was the first nuclear fusion produced by man.
In 2019 we are still trying to develop a sustainable fusion reactor.
It makes it feel more realistic to see that transwarp technology cannot be invented over the course of just a few episodes.
I always loved the fact that Star Trek was produced by people with a good relationship to logic and science and that they've invited people with good understanding of technology to participate on production.
(I miss it alot.)
Then you should watch DSC and the New Picard Series, since real life scientists are involved with those shows and the surrounding tech! And Kurtzman has done a fantastic job of updating Trek to this age :)
Transwarp technology isn't just a good goal to reach for. It is critical for the survival of a Federation that is growing.
Who else thought that Q was behind turning Paris and Janeway into amphibians? I always felt that it was a tidbit that Q would drop at a later date and earn one of those perfect acid glares that Janeway reserved just for him.
Q as a convenient plot device aside, he always seemed to put humans in situations that forced them to grow, so they wouldn't be annihilated later on. If warp 10 had succeeded when it did, not only would the show have ended, but the Borg would have remained too great a threat.
But was it Paris or Janeway that gave birth to baby salamanders?
Thats a question we may never know the answer too... Thank god!
I'd rather know why the f evolution would make a salamander out of a humanoid
I read back in the 80's that transwarp drive was just a set-up for the 'bucket of bolts' gag in which the USS Excelsior grinds to a halt. There's no such thing really as transwarp, it was only ever intended as a movie joke.
ST3 does have the best quote ever in Trek; 'The more you overthink the plumbing, it's easier to stop up the drain' said Scotty to McCoy.
That might have been true back then, but now it's canon and used MANY times since then :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Really?. I've watched lots of Trek and never noticed it. All Good things had silly stuff like 'Warp 14' but no transwarp.
Watch ALL the Voyager BORG episode and you'll see! Guess you gotta watch MORE Trek :P
LOL Besides did you think I just made up all the clips and info in the video? :P LOL
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Aren't transwarp conduits just Borg tech, not UFP?. Strictly speaking, they're a bit like wormholes, not really warp drive which is the manipulation of a subspace displacement field. Or as Geordie once eluded to, like dropping into an already fast-moving river.
I don’t know why Voyager’s crew abandoned the Warp 10 project. The only side effect was something the Doctor could fully reverse. So, slap the Warp 10 engine on Voyager, get the ship home, then reverse the salamander thing. It’s not like the Doctor would have transformed and couldn’t do anything. I guess they were just feeling lazy, or Janeway didn’t feel like giving birth to more of her crew’s kids...
It certainly is a HUGE plot hole!
Yeah, in the episode of Voyager wherein the crew tested their own transwarp drive, Janeway decided to mothball the entire project after just one less-than-ideal result which is stupid. Instead, they should've made a prolonged series of sequential transwarp jumps staggered by periods during which the engine system would be purged of tachyon buildup. I bet that they would've gotten back in time for Tuvok to get his rocks off before succumbing to chronic blue balls.
3:15 The hull structure (and structural integrity field) reinforcements originally designed to survive transwarp stresses is the reason Excelsior-type hulls remain in service in the TNG era, as such were more than sufficient to handle the vastly greater (but still not _transwarp_ ) TNG-era "standard" warp velocities.
Sorry but you are incorrect, there is NOTHING in canon to suggest that THAT is the reason they're still around in the 24th Century... In fact, Canon says the opposite as the Miranda and Oberth are ALSO still around and have 24th Century Warp...
I love this video of transwarp. In 1998, i believe, a series of Trek books came out called "The Captain's Table". In the end of one of the books, if I'm not remembering it wrong, a future USS Enterprise was about to use "sidewarp" to began to explore the gulf between galaxies. Hopefully, this was a prelude to the premise that transwarp was mastered or an entirely new direction was taken to reach "sidewarp".
Quantum slipstream would be better.
While not transwarp, the Quantum slipstream drive I think would have been the more viable option for Starfleet if they could perfect the phase variant issues Voyager in counted during its test of the technology, i mean after the drive was de-commissioned the knowledge and technology was still there, especially after Voyager made it back to Earth so its not unreasonable to assume Starfleet would have studied the technology and found a solution.
In Star Trek Online, it is a mechanic that is in the game when you want to go faster with your starship.
@@Void-Wandersong Indeed it is, however, NOTHING in STO is canon...
Very well done, stellar
Thank you so much!
Transwarp drive: An impulse drive that identifies as a warp drive while still being mechanically an impulse drive.
They done got it down pat in the kelvin timeline!!!
Good Morning, Captain 😁
LOL
3:12 I had never noticed that the crew of of the Enterprise had started to patch the ship back up. I wonder where they got that from?
I’d love to see a video someday explaining where Starfleet officers got their latinum to pay for things at businesses on DS9.
LOL Ill add it to the list :)
Awesome! I’m looking forward to it. Only found your channel a few weeks ago, been burning through it.
Well thank you so much for the support :)
I'd also like more information on the creature that has liquid latinum in his stomach. He spends most of his time drinking at quarks?
Maybe Starfleet issues some latinum to officers who requisition it for a good reason
Which is faster? Transwarp or Ludicrous speed?
That is a question better left to philosophers and dreamers :P
Could you also tackle the "Slipstream" drive? That seems to be the final & fastest method of galactic & inter-galactic travel now in the Star Trek universe. Or a video comparing what "Transwarp" was supposed to be, versus what Slipstream enabled the Federation to do, for readily exploring the Milky Way galaxy (quickly returning back to the Delta Quadrant) & inter-galactic travel to other galaxies ?
Indeed I will it's on my to do list :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I cant give this comment enough likes.
Though not canon- mild transwarp speeds can be accomplished in STO, presumably by "skipping over" warp 10, which for some reason is not infinite velocity once you pass it I guess. STO also allows the ability to make use of transwarp conduits, and mild use of Quantum Slipstream drive. It's certainly fun.
Transwarp is still under warp 10... In terms of speed, the lowest transwarp would be about warp 84 old warp scale....
You just need one of the Travellers. In the books, that includes one Wesley Crusher.
God there needs to be a new post-Voyager Trek that showcases Transwarp tech
Guess we will see in the upcoming Star Trek: Picard Series! :)
I wonder whatever happened to Janeway's and Parris' amphibian kids, and to think, for a short time she had what she wanted, a family and kids of her own. Lol It would have been really funny if the Doctor had said to her " Oh, you'll be happy to know that I was also able to give your children a human genome as well."
Another informative video!
Thank you :)
Very Interesting!! Could you tell me, which episode did Paris (?) was trying to achieve Trans-warp and got mutated.... I Kind-a watch the 'Voyager' series here-and-there, but unfamiliar with that one.
Thanks for the post.
Tom Paris got 2 crew members prego, the Captain and Torres
He gets around!
Lets not forget the slipstream too ^^ As star trek goes on their always a new form of ftl that appears. Whats next hyperspace or jump/warp gate technology?
9:01 Transwarp video right there
Since this video clearly claims to be based in canon and canon only, it would be really valuable to include on the visuals the citations for every claim. For example, the claim in the audio that the Federation was growing at an exponential rate would be accompanied by text specifying the episode or movie where this stated.
LOL That would just be silly as MOST people dont need the obvious pointed out to them!
Subscribed.

Any time, dude. I'm envious that you're able to make this content. Wish I had the know how.
Awww thank you so much! Though Im sure you have MANY skills I dont have!
They need MAGNETS! Big, stinking huge MAGNETS!
Great video, will you be doing a companion one for the Quantum Slipstream drive from Voyager versions of which are seen in 'Hope and Fear', 'Timeless' and 'Course:Oblivion' however the latter is the Deamon planet replica rather than the real Voyager.
Thank you! :) And yes I will :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Of course what makes those things work is the Talaxian Furfly.

Could you do a video explaining the spore drive?(if you haven’t already)
Love your vids.
EDIT: could you collab with Civilization Ex?
Actually the next video is on SlipStream and then after that one is the Spore Drives... Im on a Star Trek propulsion Systems kick currently :P As for Colabs... Ive met and spoken with many other Trek UA-camrs. Some I liked and have become friends, others well no comment.. There are huge probs with colabs on other channels, BUT if one approached me with a good idea I would do that... But personally I never go out and seek that type as I am still relatively a new channel and dont want to appear leaching off others... This channel is rising because of my hard work, not who i work with... If that makes sense...
Great video as always. Thank you. It makes me wonder though about the episode, I don't remember what it was called, where the brother and sister science team were trying to and at the sisters death showed that warp was causing harm to sub space and the federation decreased maximum warp usage to 5 unless necessary, which honestly after that episode seemed to go away.
I just wonder then about trans warps effects.
Kinda like "oh, warp is hurting sub space... Screw it... Let's go faster" heh
The Episode is TNG: Force Of Nature, And it probably doesnt have the same effect as transwarp occurs in a different layer of subspace... And thank you so much :)
OHHHH and remember ships like Voyager, the Enterprise E, The Prometheus etc had a new style of Warp Engine that did not damage subspace at all! YES they can figure that out over night but in 100 years transwarp is STILL impossible! :P
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics ahh. I didn't know that. It would be interesting to know how they figured out what it was that was causing the damage and how they corrected it
Maybe we'll get a few throw away lines in the new Picard Series!
Like your new music for the intro.
Thank you so much :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Like to see you do a show on who you would like to see show up in the new Picard. Meaning old characters from other Trek show and ask the followers of your show. Who they would like to see. The Doctor and 7 of 9.
Ill add it to the list :)
i feel like tranwarp is like the hyperdrive in star wars. the ship goes into warm hole to achieve extreme speed which is not possible in normal space. I wonder what class of ship was able to go faster than warp 10 in tos scale cause the scale to be changed. then you hyperwrap drive which tradition wrap drive able to go faster in than normal warp drive in normal space.
Einstein's equations indicate that infinite energy would be required to accelerate greater-than-quantum-sized mass to lightspeed. But even with Treknology in play and warp bubbles and subspace, this suggests that you would likewise need infinite energy to feed one's _structural integrity field_ to hold up under the stresses of "infinite speed".
2:55 might help if they consolidated their ship structure like halo ships do
Something I never understood: When Voyager attempted to create a transwarp conduit tachyons began to leak into the warp core. This was investigated and determined to be an accident. Knowing this was an accident, couldn't the Voyager crew isolate the cause and stop it from happening again? As far as I know, no further attempts were ever made to pursue this technology until Paris' transwarp flight which was a different form of the technology altogether.
Well in that particular engine system there may not have been a way to prevent it... Also Paris's transwarp flight happened BEFORE the tachyon leak episode!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics you're right it is. Had those backwards.
But the Excelsior was unable to break the transwarp barrier because Scotty had disabled the engines not because it didn't work. One can assume that they had indeed made a proper transwarp engine because they would have put it to the test before ever putting it on a ship.
You really think Starfleet after towing the Excelsior back didnt say HEY
what happened? And then in thier investigation didnt notice a few
chips were missing? Of course they did, and we know that they figured
it out since 1 of the charges laid against Kirk and company in ST4 was
sabotage of the USS Excelsior... So they knew EXACTLY what happened and
so the project failed simply because it didnt work... NOTHING to do
with Scotty!
they wanted the transwarp probe to either tow OR improve voyager.
ugh Trek takes way too many absurd liberties when it comes to what can and can't be repaired or restored if the human body is damaged or altered in some way.
I won't even add a list of examples it would be too long
I personally believe that the reason Tuvok developed the Vulcan equivalent of Alzheimer's out of the blue, with no previous genetic indications, is because of infinitesimal errors introduced to his genetic structure when Tuvix was separated back out into Tuvok + Neelix. Since Neelix was left behind in the Delta Quadrant, we don't got to see if he developed any rare-beyond-belief syndromes in turn. Transporters are precise to a ludicrous sigma level, but they ain't perfect. Janeway didn't "save two people by sacrificing one", she _damned_ one of them (her friend of decades!) to a slow, hellish death.
I wonder after the federation finally perfected transwarp speed they will need to raise the bar on the Prime Directive again so to not interfere with warp capable species until they have learned how to go to transwarp. It seems most of the species who had transwarp speeds seems to ignore or look down on others and avoid communication and stay out of their “local” problems.
No I doubt that!
You'd think they'd halt research into transwarp, what with the galactic speed limit and the whole "warp drive wrecks spacetime" thing...Maybe it's time those spore drive files were declassified!
Warp Drive USED to wreck subspace, keep in mind warp nacelles AFTER it was discovered were redesigned to avoid this problem... Thats where the nacelles on voyager and the Enterprise E came from... Also since Transwarp occurs in a deeper level of subspace it most likely does NOT damage space at all!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I stand corrected :-)
Skimmed but didn’t read through all the comments. In your canon explanation, how do you reconcile that Warp 11 was a “thing” in TOS, while in TNG Warp 10 becomes infinite velocity. (See the episode where the Enterprise is taken over by Kelvans.)
I had just assumed that Excelsior’s trans warp drive became the standard and TNG warp factors were TOS “trans warp” factors.
Or do you have another explanation?
Thanks... I rarely indulge my inner geek to this level. Lol
That's simple, it's a different warp scale... Sometime in between TOS (Star Trek 6) and TNG the warp scale was re-written as Starfleet came to understand warp speed better... And no, TNG couldnt be transwarp, as if it was, then no one would be calling Borg Travel Transwarp, as they would already themselves have transwarp. Also velocities of Warp are nowhere near transwarp, as transwarp is 84x or more faster then warp 9.9... Hope this helps!
voy warp 10 was the 'fastest' and surely faster than e.g. borg transwarp or any other means of transport afaik and remember (not involving e.g. the q). even in the initial tng traveller episode, enterprise-d took some actual time to travel the vast distances, but never occupied all space at once. thoughts?
Well the only explanation was that although super fast, it was NOT Infinite Velocity, just really close...
The time card looks like Taco bell's logo
Good vid!
LOL Thanks :)
Well all Federation starships use the three seashells.
Something I could see happening. Maybe. Federation ships DO get the warp 10 ability. Or at least some. With the condition that afterwards, all crew get an injection or whatever to prevent mutation.
Scotty had something to do with the initial failure of Excelsior's transwarp drive
Sure with the failure of the transwarp drive in ST3, but NOTHING to do with the failure of the Transwarp Project all together!
The question I ask is: Did the transwarp experiment REALLY fail? Or did Starfleet just ASSUME it failed after Scotty walked away with a set of ball bearings from the 'transwarp computer drive' ?
Scotty: "Here, Doctor. Souvenirs from one surgeon to another. I took them out of her main transwarp computer drive."
No Starfleet didnt assume it failed and we know that for the simple fact that in Trek IV: The Voyage home they charge Scotty with Sabotage of the excelsior... Meaning they knew what he did and would have replaced those missing chips!
Was transwarp Tech in the Next Generation Eps BEST OF BOTH WORLDS ???

LOL thank you so much Mike :)
I don’t think it is the “vertical “ warp core. It is the linear warp core. There is no vertical inspace
That's kind of a silly thing to say, since the core isnt in Space, the ship is... For anyone onboard a ship there IS a horizontal and Vertical... And yes it was a vertical warp core!
What episode where they tried to recreate the Borg traswarp drive?
Interestingly, you neglected to mention the TNG episode, The Nth Degree, in which an encounter with an alien signal rewired Lt. Barclay's mind which allowed him to hotwire the Enterprise with his brain and travel at a speed many times exponentially faster than transwarp.
How does folding space work?
Ill be covering that in a future video :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Dune is an underrated novel
@@warhammernerd52Daxx-Lorenzo898 Dune by Frank Herbert was a Masterpiece ! I was 13 when I first read it; and it totally changed how I saw the world. IT was not only a brilliant work of Sci Fi, but it also talked about the unstoppable force of combining Religion and Politics with its inherent dangers such as creating of their own Messiah along with his Fanatical Followers that conquered the Known Universe. And I loved the plans within plans, the different groups like the Mentats, Bene Gesserits, Face-
Dancers, Sardaukars, and the many other different types of Humans that evolved to more than what they were. The sad thing though is that they are coming out with another Dune Movie. I just don't believe that the Dune series can ever be brought onto film; thus far, those that tried have failed Miserably. I think that the only way to bring justice to Dune would be like how HBO brought Game of Thrones onto film. You just can't tell the Dune story in 2, 6, or even 12 hours. It has to be created as an Event spanning a few years. It is just too complex a story to fit a few hours.
At 250 million times the speed of light, they could certainly be home in time for dinner. But, though not a central part of your great video, what about the effects of time dilation and subspace communication? At those speeds wouldn't people and situations elsewhere be aging at different rates? 🤔
There are no time dilatation as transwarp, like warp, occurs in subspace, as well as fields generated by the ship travelling at those speeds, see VOY Shattered :) And thank you :)
When did they ever say transwarp failed? . When did they say there was a new warp scale? Wouldn't the new warp scale indicate that transwarp worked? Mr Scott sabotaging the transwarp drive didn't make for a test failure, just a delay
They dont need to say it failed for us to know it failed... If it had succeeded then starships would be travelling at Transwarp rather the warp, and Voyager wouldnt be trying to achieve transwarp... Mr Scotts Sabotage hasw NOTHING to do with Transwarps Failure!
Traveling outside our galaxy is an entirely different kettle of fish from whenever Starfleet does develop a transwarp drive. Recall in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" TOS Second Pilot and S1E3, the Enterprise is on a mission to travel outside of our galaxy and runs into the mysterious energy barrier apparently surrounding our galaxy.
In attempting to travel through the mysterious barrier the Enterprise is damaged and Gary Mitchell and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner are both knocked unconscious later developing fantastic god-like abilities. From what we see in the episode Gary Mitchell seemed to be capable of anything TNG's well known Q could do, and of course there's plenty of fan theories out there about possible connections.
Unfortunately, no STAR TREK series or movie has ever addressed traveling outside our galaxy again. Hopefully, if extra-galactic travel is addressed again the people making the show or movie will remember "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
Except TOS dealt with the Barrier in 2 separate episodes after... By Any Other Name and Is There In truth No beauty, for some reason there was NO ill effects for Traveling through the Barrier... So shield tech may have improved to combat this!
Transwarp conduits sound awfully similar to hyperspace lanes...hmmm. Star gates are awfully similar to wormholes. There appears to be a high degree of sharing of concepts among the various science fiction franchises.
Tom Paris wasn’t trying to achieve Trans Warp. He was going after infinite velocity; WARP 10.
I never said he was trying to achieve transwarp, but transwarp is REQUIRED to achieve Infinite Velocity!
God we need HD DS9 and VGR!!!
The Borg did assimilate some Voth and their tech. And yet, borg conduits could take any ship anywhere in the galaxy in a matter of minutes.
if you need more power to go faster add another warp core
But what really is trans warp?
And dose it have anything to do with transporter's?
Cannon: ah ah ah, I have no idea.
Micheal Burnham will discover transwarp all by herself!
Maybe! But I think by 32nd Century Starfleet (If it still exists) will have Discovered it already!
The great barrier of Transwarp overcome by a space worm. smdh
I could never understand why voyager never went through with the treanswarp project ok fair enough there is the salamander element but emh could reverse it and would not be affected when it was used zip then turn everyone back even using him as chg
No mention of the magic mushroom drive?
No since that's NOT a Transwarp Drive, it's the Spore Drive and will receive it's own video!
Excelsior = bathtub
You know I find it strange we never got a in universe explanation on why Starfleet never tried to fix the transwarp drive in the excelsior and/or never tried it again. You would have thought they would have figured it out by Picards time at least but nope....
Im sure they must have tried again, but it simply eluded them! :)

@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Its either that or they lost the transwarp plans, next to the arc of the covenant and that martian war machine, right behind the TARDIS, next to the Jupiter 2, and slightly behind Quarks shuttle.
LMAO!
I remember the first time I heard about the source of Transwarp Drive it was in Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, which is now considered non-canon, but it explained the Transwarp Drive technology as having its origins in TOS episode, The Tholian Web, where the USS Defiant was trapped in an "interphase" region of space that allowed passage between parallel dimensions. The Enterprise used the the spatial rift to escape the Tholains to a point 2.72 parsecs(9 light years) away. This, of course, is no longer the canonical origin of Transwarp Drive.
What about quantum slipstream?
The Quantum Slipstream Drive will have it's own video!
While it accomplishes much the same thing as Transwarp, it is nonetheless NOT transwarp.
If warp 10 is infinite velocity, putting the ship everywhere in the universe at the same time, shouldn't the ship be destroyed instantly, as it's simultaneously in the centers of a billion stars and black holes? Or if the ship was somehow able to keep it's own integrity, shouldn't it destroy everything in the universe by flying straight through it at unimaginable speed? This idea seems to have been poorly thought out on Voyager.
Every time real astrophysics is brought into a Trek discussion, a Horta dies. Won't somebody please think of the Hortas!
The Borg use transwarp corridors to travel at transwarp. Paris traveled at warp 10. It would seem that warp 10, transwarp, and slipstream drives ( from the voyager series are different forms FSL transportation. ) Weird Question, is traveling at warp 10 the same as traveling at transwarp ?
No they are different things... Warp 10 is infinite Warp, meaning you occupy ALL points in the Universe at once, BUT to achieve Infinite Warp a Transwarp Drive is required!
