PARIS: Think we've found our engine core.
CHAKOTAY: Some kind of new warp drive?
PARIS: It's not antimatter, it's, I don't know what it is. They call this thing a quantum slipstream drive.
TUVOK: Quantum slipstream.
CHAKOTAY: I've never seen that in the engineering manuals.
PARIS: The ship's powering up. Auto navigation is kicking in.Franchise:Star Trek Series: Voyager Season: 05 Episode: 06 Title: Timeless wrote:

JANEWAY: Ladies and gentlemen, please. May I introduce the next generation of instellar propulsion, the Quantum Slipstream Drive. Four years, two months, eleven days. That's precisely how long Voyager's been in the Delta quadrant. During that time we've advanced the frontiers of exploration and more importantly, we've survived. Now, it's time to go home. Enjoy the celebration but keep in mind we've still got a lot of work to do before tomorrow's flight. Go easy on that champagne, Lieutenant.
JANEWAY: Quantum Matrix, benamite crystals, Borg technology. Can you imagine what Starfleet is going to say?Franchise: Star Trek Series: Voyager Season: 05 Episode: 20 Title: Think Tank wrote:
KURROS: Captain, we have compiled a short list of items we would like. It was not easy. Voyager has a great deal to offer.
JANEWAY: Quantum slipstream technology. I should warn you. We never got that to work reliably.
KURROS: It is still intriguing, theoretically.
Given how fast Quantum Slipstream is, is there any reason that the Federation would not want ships that are capable of using it?SpeedsFranchise: Star Trek Series: Voyager Season: 04 Episode: 26 Title: Hope and Fear wrote:
PARIS: Wow.
TUVOK: Wow indeed.
CHAKOTAY: I've never seen this kind of hull geometry. Looks like they've taken a whole new approach to starship design.
TUVOK: USS Dauntless. Registry NX01A. Launch Date 51472.
CHAKOTAY: Sixty thousand light years in three months?
TUVOK: I'm trying to access the crew logs but there are none.
PARIS: I don't think there was a crew. This helm was set for auto-navigation to these co-ordinates.
TUVOK: It appears that Starfleet has provided us with a new ship.
CHAKOTAY: Let's not pack our bags just yet. I'd like to know how they
PARIS: I'm reading power fluctuations in the warp core, if you can call it a warp core. I don't recognise this engine configuration.
CHAKOTAY: Let's go take a look.60,000 light years in 3 months according to the fake logs = 240,000 times the speed of lightFranchise: Star Trek Series: Voyager Season: 04 Episode: 26 Title: Hope and Fear wrote:
Captain's Log, supplemental. We remained in the quantum slipstream for an hour before it finally collapsed. Our diagnostics have concluded that we can't risk using this technology again, but we did manage to get three hundred light years closer to home.
300 light years per hour is what the Quantum Slipstream Drive actual achieved = 2,628,000 times the speed of light, but the true speed may be higher
