Transwarp in use

This is about the player ability from ranking up, for similar uses see below.

Overview[ | ]

Transwarp icon (Federation)

Transwarp is a method of traveling beyond traditional warp speeds at near-infinite velocity. It was heavily utilized by the Borg in the Delta Quadrant and allowed the U.S.S. Voyager to return home. Players have access to Transwarp throughout their character's career.

The Transwarp ability enables players to travel instantly back to Earth Spacedock, Qo'noS, New Romulus, or Deep Space 9 (depending on the player's faction) or to different locations from the galaxy map. This ability's base cooldown is 15 minutes, but can be reduced by various means; the cooldown timer only counts down while logged in, on a per-character basis.

This power has been moved to the upper-right corner of the default screen layout. To invoke the Transwarp options, click on the transwarp icon. Transwarp is distinct from Quantum Slipstream Drive.

In addition, the player is able to transwarp to the starting point of any episode by clicking the transwarp icon next to the mission name in their HUD's mission tracker. These transwarps are free and have no cooldown.

Starship innate transwarp[ | ]

Excelsior class[ | ]

The Excelsior class starship and its variants have a special ability to transwarp to different locations (except fleet) no matter what level the player is, what commendations are achieved, or whether they're in a fleet.

The Tier 3 Excelsior-class Advanced Heavy Cruiser has access to the following transwarp locations, all in the Beta Quadrant:

The Tier 5 and 6 variants of the Excelsior class have access to the above transwarp locations, as well the following:

The Advanced Heavy Cruiser and its variants could previously use a [Console - Universal - Transwarp Drive Coil] to travel to various sectors, however this device has since been replaced. On occasion, the engine will fail to make the jump. This was by design to mimic the events from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock when the transwarp drive on the USS Excelsior was disabled.
