Warp Core

A warp core is a specialized device used to alter the subspace position of certain molecules, therefore altering space and matter. Warp cores function primarily using the element Japhynium, an extremely dense radioactive material. There are five primary types of warp cores, three are still experimental and volatile. The types are simplified as follows: Xenophium Combustion, Nitrith Combustion, Xenophium Fusion, Quantum Suspended Xenophium, Quantum Suspended Singularity.

Warp was discovered by an ancient civilization, and uncovered by the Intergalactic Kratraquin Federation. The technology quickly spread to other civilizations, allowing emerging empires to travel the stars at an accelerated pace.
