TransWarp drive
The TransWarp drive allows a player to travel between distant sectors in the fictional TradeWars 2002 universe. It uses fuel ore with each jump. The three ships that can accomodate a TransWarp drive are the Corporate Flagship, Imperial StarShip, and Havoc GunStar. Imperial StarShips can TransWarp directly into FedSpace.
Planets with Level 4 Citadels also have TransWarp capabilities. It is possible to destroy enemy planets by building several planets up to Level 4 and then TransWarping them into the enemy sector, causing a collision. This is also a way to fill a sector with massive amounts of debris, making passage dangerous.
Atomic fusion is a ship-destroying phenomenon that occurs when a player blind-warps into a non-empty sector. Marker beacons and Limpet mines are a common cause of atomic fusion. Even a fully-loaded StarShip can be destroyed by one false jump.
