The '''quantum slipstream drive''' is an advanced form of propulsion technology first encountered by the ''USS Voyager'' in the Delta Quadrant, which had the capability of exceeding a starship's maximum warp factor by an unprecedented degree. Similar in principle to the transwarp technology utilized by the Borg, it was originally developed by a Delta Quadrant race designated by the Borg as "Species 116." | The '''quantum slipstream drive''' is an advanced form of propulsion technology first encountered by the ''USS Voyager'' in the Delta Quadrant, which had the capability of exceeding a starship's maximum warp factor by an unprecedented degree.

In 2390, Starfleet gave final authorization for slipstream drives to be installed on new ships. Older ships would be called back for refit as befitting their mission and requirements. The primary goals of Starfleet in utilizing the new technology was expanding the reach of the Federation and enabling faster travel in cases of emergency. | In 2390, Starfleet gave final authorization for slipstream drives to be installed on new ships.
