Warp Gate

Although warp travel itself was certainly among one of the greatest discoveries in the history of human scientific endeavors, it cannot be understated how much an impact Warp Gate technology had on the application of negative energy. Warp Gates allowed humans to travel to other stars in the blink of an eye by fully unlocking the potential of the Negaton Drive.

A Warp Gate, also called a Cosmic Gate, or Cosmic Railroad consists of a series of equidistant rings spread through space between two destinations. When a ship flies through the rings, the warp bubble created by its negaton drive is imparted with enormous amounts of negative energy, speeding up its travel from a fraction of lightspeed to many thousands of times lightspeed.

When constructing a network of Warp Gates, Drone Fabricators will build the entryway first, then jump through, stop, construct the next ring, and repeat the process until they have reached their destination. Upon completion, the Drone Fabricator will construct a second entry ring, then head back to Sol through its own gateways as a test before any live humans travel through.

Warp Gates are built large enough so that hundreds of vessels can fit within one side-by-side, making it easier to send large fleets to a destination at once. There has never been a fatal accident within a Warp Gate, as each ship is enveloped in an independent warp bubble; when two warp bubbles collide, the ships simply bounce off before continuing on or slide past each other harmlessly.
