[@Just The Wind] Warp in Star Trek isn't instantaneous, I mean something more akin to Homeworlds hyperspace where the travel through such a field has strange effects on the passage of time. In this fictional universe it is incredibly fast travel with the negative boon that it takes so much power to generate a stable field. With the way I am setting this up in-universe we will be travelling for a short period of time, or from our perspective it [i]appears[/i] to be a short period of time.
