Warp Space Drive
Another method of FTL-travel i through the realm commonly called Warp Space. Entering this realm is done by warp engines which use particle accelerations to generate portals similar to that of wormholes as entrances to Warp Space. However this doesn't mean that those portals equal wormholes and aren't as fast as wormholes are theorised to be. Once in Warp Space, a vessel travels by using the currents of the realm until their destination is reached. Estimated time travels vary differently and depend on the estimated distance.
To exit the realm, precise calculations are used to be pulled out by a system's center of gravity such as its star or the planetary body travellers wish to arrive at. Sometimes they can end up at the system's edge if the calculations don't prove accurate enough.

Traversing this realm also comes with its risks. The radiation or energy or manifestations within Warp Space can have an effect on the minds of a vessel's crew. Hence why shielding against Warp Space is needed to prevent madness manifesting within the crew. However looking for too long in the void of Warp Space may have the same effect.
