As a sidenote, I wonder how common is transwarp travel now. Maybe they won't even require conduits to effectively teleport across megalights.

(Which makes sense considering that Lowe wrote about how one creationist theory has the Shepard blow up all the Mass Relays... )

Spoiler for As a sidenote:

There are several Transwarp level FTL in Star Trek and these are;

1. Voth's real space Transwarp i.e. faster warp drive.

2. The Traveller's real space Transwarp via dual layer warp fields i.e. faster warp drive.

3. Borg's dark blue color band Transwarp conduit network as shown in TNG Descent. This method doesn't need a ship to be equiped with Transwarp drive.

4. Borg's green/blue color band Transwarp via Transwarp drive coil. It was shown in VGR's Dark Frontier.

5. Species 116's Quantum Slipstream i.e. stated to be similar Borg's Transwarp. "Fire the deflector" based FTL. Voyager improved this FTL method with warp nacelle based booster i.e. ~30,000 LY in a few minutes.

6. UFP Transwarp via a new form of dilithium.
