FTL Tech
From Starfleet Commander
Jump to navigationJump to search
In the last century scientists discovered that with ultra-strong magnets resonating together with precisely controlled energy fields they could warp the space-time continuum, allowing objects and information to move at Faster-Than-Light (FTL) speeds. FTL technology requires significant amounts of power (and therefore hydrogen) and is the foundation for faster engine and communications technology.
