Alcubierre Drive

''Author's Note: The Aclcubierre drive is awaiting canon confirmation. The drive may be considered non-canon as to make the universe a lot more realistic and increase space travel times.''

The Alcubierre Drive or Warp Drive is a device fitted into space faring vessels to allow for Sub-light speeds to be achieved without worrying about the laws of momentum. The variable speeds achieved by the drive can allow for ships to easily speed up and slow down without retro burning, a maneuver used during normal spaceflight where ships will have to burn in the opposite direction of travel in order to slow down or stop.

Sub-light Speeds
Sub-light speeds are speeds that are achieved by traveling at just below the speed of light. Should a ship exceed light speed, navigation would become impossible as light would not be able to reach the pilot's eyes or the ships sensors, this is known as the Blackout Effect.
