However ships like the USS Voyager and the USS Enterprise-D were small enough to stay in temporal sync without this modification. Using a recalibrated warp core to generate the field from chroniton-infused bio-neural circuitry, the same effect could be achieved on a Federation ship. To maintain a temporal sync inside the ship, a chroniton field needed to be projected throughout the hull from specially-designed conduits in the vessel. When a huge vessel such as a Borg cube used a conduit, it encountered extreme temporal stresses. The area of normal space within a conduit was called a matter stream.
When a ship was generating a conduit it was traveling within transwarp space and could easily detect the residual and active transwarp signatures of other ships that were generating conduits or had generated conduits. ( VOY: " Day of Honor", " Dark Frontier")
Any warp-capable Federation ship could also utilize Borg transwarp coils. The Borg used transwarp coils as the power source during the generation of transwarp conduits and did not experience this problem. This in turn resulted in an unstoppable flood of tachyons to the core and ultimately a core breach, unless the core was ejected. The fluctuations lead to a core pressure increase. The subspace field of the conduit then formed in front of the ship.Ī Federation propulsion system, such as the class 9 warp drive of an Intrepid-class starship, however would experience erratic power fluctuations during the transwarp frequency emission. The deflector shield of the ship was used to emit the tachyon bursts into space at the resonant transwarp frequency level. The navigational deflector was modified to use a tachyon matrix within it to emit tachyon bursts on a high-energy band. The ship was taken to warp factor 2.3 to generate the initial required large subspace field. This type of transwarp drive utilized a combination of the traditional warp drive, navigational deflector and deflector shields as its components. Even though such networks existed, Borg starships were also equipped with transwarp drives that generated conduits when pre-existing conduits were not available. The Borg had established a whole transwarp conduit network, that allowed any type of craft, or even a simple probe such as a log buoy, to travel at transwarp velocities.
