Traversing between star systems is achieved through advanced magic-tech that harnesses Warp Magic to enable FTL (Faster Than Light) travel. Warp Drives are powerful onboard devices that allow a starship to slip into the Warp Dimension, temporarily exiting the Material Realm and traveling immense distances before reemerging elsewhere. This process, commonly referred to as warping or slipping into warp, is best explained as tunneling through the Warp Dimension. Warping is fast but not instantaneous, and longer distances require longer warp times.
Warp Drives, however, are not capable of traversing the incredibly vast distances between galactic sectors. That role belongs to Star Relays, which utilize similar yet vastly more advanced and effective Warp Magic to create stable, fixed, portal like transit points at unimaginable speeds, even in the context of FTL travel. While Star Relays provide guaranteed destinations through paired portals, warp drive travel demands exceptional precision from skilled Navigators. Miscalculations can result in vessels exiting warp at unknown locations, dangerous speeds or becoming irretrievably lost within the Warp itself. Together, Warp Drives and Star Relays form the backbone of all modern intergalactic travel.
