Warp Drive
From Starfleet Commander
The Warp Drive is the pinnacle of transportation technology. It uses magnetism to reshape the space-time continuum around it, allowing units to move at faster-than-light speeds. Though incredibly costly, research into Warp Drive Tech allows for the biggest ships and greatest speeds. Each level researched will also increase the speed of ships using the Warp Drive by 30%.
