Warp

Warp is the compressed version of matter, energy and information together. Technically the whole universe is found in warp form before the Bing Bang.

Basics of Warp Travel

If the desired matter, energy and info turned into Warp, theoretically it reaches the ultimate singularity of the universe which is simply connected to every location in matter universe. Transforming matter and energy into warp uses huge amount of energy. After the transformation is completed the warp should be focused to a specific location to transfer it back to the matter and energy form. The focusing operation also consumes a lot of energy.

Warp Gates and Warp Tunnels

Warp gates are permanent gateways and are built in routes and networks. When a ship enters a warp gate, it can warp (teleport) to another gate in the same warp gate route he entered. The transportation time (wnet outside the warp) is not proportional with the distance of the destination gate but it is proportional to the energy used to activate the warp gate route. Since the lenght of the route and the number of connections increase the maintenance energy of the gate, the routes have a practical lenght limit.

At warp gates, warp transfer surface is created only once at commissioning of the gate and the size of the gate is constant therefore and it consumes no additional energy for creating or expanding the warp transfer surface each time, but it consumes a trace amount of energy to maintain the surface and avoid any collapses.

In a warp route the warp gates are connected with "warp tunnels" these tunnels are like active channels where singularity is relatively stretched linearly and warp seems to travel through these tunnels, therefore the warp don’t need to be focused to transfer back into matter, energy and information. The focusing energy is eliminated but the warp tunnels are maintained by a specific amount of energy which is proportional with the relative travel speed of the warp.

Warp Portals

Warp portals are temporary gateways and created by portal generators. Only two-dimensional size of the portal is important for the necessary energy for transfering into warp, but there is a minimum amount of energy (threshold) to create a portal at first place. The warping distance and mass are important for the WSP.

Warp Scanners

Another important issue is to scan the warping destination before opening a warp portal. Devices called Warp scanners are launched to scan the destination for astronimical anomalies and possible dangers. Additionally time these devices collect date to determine the WSP of the warping operation.
