"Warp" is a generally new technology that some recently manufactured interplanetary vessels come equipped with. Warp travel is an extremely fast method of traversing space, however it can be dangerous. Warp travel works by using the invisible flow of warp particles to propel the vessel forwards by a huge amount. This is accomplished using a warp hook, which is a device that latches onto a tiny invisible warp particle and holds on for a given amount of time. Warp particles flow in predictable routes and speeds, so any warp hook should be compatible with any warp routes.
