![]() ![]() Zefram Cochrane also devised modifications to the USS Enterprise that allowed the ship to achieve the speed, though the ship was almost torn apart at that velocity. In the comic book " A Warp in Space" set in the late- 2260s, Starfleet tested the prototype Warp 15 engine on several test ships. At that time the ship could maintain warp 11 without danger. ( TOS: " The Changeling") In 2268, the Kelvans who commandeered the ship made similar modification. Kirk ordered Nomad to reverse the modifications though, as the structure of the Enterprise was not designed to handle the stress of that much power output. When this happened, Montgomery Scott was in disbelief. In 2267, the Nomad probe improved efficiency in the antimatter input valve and energy release controls on the Enterprise, allowing the ship to achieve at least warp 11. ( TOS: " Let That Be Your Last Battlefield") ( TOS: " Journey to Babel") In 2268, Bele, upon commandeering the engine and directional controls of the Enterprise, propelled the starship faster than warp 10 towards Cheron. In 2267, the USS Enterprise engaged an Orion scout ship capable of warp 10, if not higher speeds, since crew safety was of no concern to them, prompting Spock to remark that it was " interesting." The ship was too fast for the Enterprise to hit it with phasers or photon torpedoes. ( TOS: " Journey to Babel") Speeds on the order of warp 15 were called multiwarp speeds. In the 23rd century, warp factors of 10 and higher were known as generally unsafe velocities. They did not clarify whether the same warp factor would have been used for intergalactic travel also. ↑ The Kelvans modified the USS Enterprise to travel at warp eleven through the galactic barrier.↑ Although Tom Paris clearly articulates the distance and time, it is unclear if he was engaging in hyperbole since these parameters indicate that, at warp factor 9.9 as specified, 75,000 light years can be traversed in less than 3.5 years.Warp factorĥ0 light years (Earth to an area inside the Delphic Expanse)ġ0,000 kilometer intervals as a Klingon D7 approachedĪpproximately 300 billion kilometers (0.032 light years)Ībout 4 billion miles (0.0007 light years)Ģ.5 million light years (to Andromeda Galaxy) See: Variations in relative speed for more information. Some figures were depicted in charts and others given as statements in dialogue. Average speeds are typically calculated from given values for travel time and distance. ![]() The following is a list of warp factor values that have been given a relativistic speed equivalent on screen. ![]()
