    Also because of that one episode that put a standard limit on warp travel, the entire warp scale got rejiggered at some point. Where warp 10 became the upper limit.

    There are episodes where ships are noted to have been travelling at warp 13 or 14 before they reworked warp speeds

      I think they just started calling those speeds transwarp.

          It was two things, one just being fast warp, another being a different kind of warp drive that the Borg used. In the Kelvin timeline, it was a third thing where you’d use the transporter to beam onto or off a ship at warp.

            It was two things, one just being fast warp, another being a different kind of warp drive that the Borg used.

            The Excelsior used a different kind of warp drive. The Borg opened and traveled through “transwarp conduits.”
