Plans to arrive in 1 month. Arrives a week before they planned to leave and 1/3 of the crew had to be killed because the warp turned someone into a Chaos cultist.
Fun fact: the Orkz of 40k also have their own form of Gellar Field; it's called "yelling at the walls so loud that the daemons decide it's just not worth it". Alternatively, the Orkz forget to yell at the walls, the daemons get in, and a grand old fight ensues, which the Orkz are also usually quite happy with.
A correction, the Orks also find travel through the warp fun as fuck. There was even an ork that loved fightin' daemons so much that he plowed his waaaagh straight through the Cadian Gate and into the Eye of Terror to fight em for all eternity, having the time of his life as he did so. Tuska Daemon-killa, for anyone curious to look em up.
also khorne, the chaos god of war, bloodshed, honour, skulls, courage, etc, was so impressed with their fondness for violence that he now eternally revives the orks on one of his demon worlds to create an eternal war which both sides love; the demons taking loads of ork skulls, the orks getting to fight things for ever

Another honorable mention: Holtzman engines that fold space in the Dune universe. Before Navigators were created, ships using it would just randomly disappear, never to be seen or heard from again.
Yeah, I'm surprised Dune's Foldspace didn't make the list, given that without navigators, you had a 1:10 chance of just... not arriving at your destination. And that is per jump. It would be like if every step you take you have a 1:10 chance of falling in a sinkhole.
but travel in dune is 100% safe with a navigator. in 40k travel is still unsafe even with a navigator. same for discovery from Star Trek Discovery where the navigator gets tired from multiple jumps and ends up in the medbay.
@@jesusmora9379 using the spore drive pre-navigator could end... badly. Just look at what happened to the crew of the Glenn. They were all turned inside-out. They frankly lucked out that they found a creature capable of navigating the mycelial network, and that one guy was willing to risk going to jail by engaging in illegal genetic modification to make himself the navigator. Luckily, the ending of season 3 means there’s now an entire race capable of being used as navigators without any genetic modification
The Emperor protects. He is the beacon of order by which we navigate chaos. (Not sure if that second one is an official quote, but it sounds appropriate.)

You already know there can only be one 'winner' (if you can use such a term in this context) going into this video. Only one franchise is insane enough to use journeying through literal space super hell as its method of interstellar travel.
When you literally have your mechanics praying that the giant ancient death trap flying through hell to get it to work yea kinda hard to put do it. Especially since some of them refuse to turn certain machines off because if they did they likely would never be able to turn them back on.
Well there is a psyker in stasis withing the Geller field generator which projects its dreams as veil of normality around the ship... if the psyker dies... geller field is off...
you assume that travel through literal hell, while only one person on whole ship know the way and everything is held by ancient technology no one really understands....is dangerous?
There was a form of FTL in John M. Ford's "Web of Angels" (1980) where the ship couldn't have windows because simply viewing the non-euclidean space outside would cause one to go mad.
Shades of another SF story I read where anything with a pulse needed to be sedated during FTL travel or go mad, and ships pilots had artificial hearts that didn't have a beat. I'm bummed I can't remember the name of the story though
Another dangerous ftl: Babylon 5, as you can get lost in it, attacked by ghost ships, or flung off into the void to never be heard from again. Also, the biggest dangers of the slipspace drives are the effects of the drives themselves when something goes wrong with them. They have caused engineers who worked on them to disappear, can accidentally cause time travel, can teleport part of a ship to oblivion while leaving the rest exposed to vacuum, and make crews generally nervous to work near them. Also, shouldn't the chronosphere be included? You can get crew phased into the hull of a ship and it causes chronostorms if used too much.
This channel ignores Babylon 5... they never mention the show in any of their videos because I'm pretty sure they never watched the show. Its a real shame as its better than any of the other sci-fi shows they talk about.
@@anonymousrex5207 I don't know I think the expense is pretty on par with Babylon 5... they just admitted that they just now started watching Stargate... but yeah they really do need to start getting in the Babylon 5 it is definitely one of the best sci-fi shows out there.

For those who are interested, There are actually 3 FTL methods in Star Wars. 1. Hyperspace (travel through a dimension that has an infinite speed cap and a minimum speed cap of C whilst avoiding gravity wells created by stars, planets and anomalies unique to Hyperspace). 2. HyperGate (instantaneous hyperspace travel between two or more connected HyperGates (inspired by Infinity Gates but less advanced)). 3. Infinity Gate (instantaneous travel with the force through an Infinity Gate, to anywhere else). Bonus info, the creators of the Infinity Gates, the Kwa, were responsible for uplifting the Rakata, which became immediately conquest orientated and spread their Infinite Empire across the galaxy. The Kwa would go into solitude within their home systems and Infinity Gates out of fear, eventually developing an anti progress culture, and devolving into a primitive species that cannot talk or understand speech. The Infinite Empire attempted (and failed) at learning the secrets of Infinity Gates of the Kwa, and the HyperGates of the Gree Empire, and went on to develop Hyper Drives through what little research they did gain from HyperGates. These Hyper Drives were then found on Corellia by human settlers from Coruscant (who used STL drives) many thousands of years after the Infinite Empire collapsed due to a plague, and were re-engineered, giving the "modern" galaxy hyperspace technology. The Gree would later forget how to use their HyperGates. Bonus info 2. Hyperspace is not just another dimension that you use to travel and is home to an entire alternate universe that mirrors the "main" dimensions universe in shape. It is full of Hyperspace native alien species that are mostly hostile to any form of life, as well as one species that is bent on Galatic conquest. Also some hellish horrors, and some have found themselves trapped in hyperspace before. Some more friendly alien species have successfully made it into normal space and I beleive one of them is even seen in the main movies (but I forget which)
Infinity Gates can also be used as weapons that not only destroy matter in realspace but also the very fabric of space-time in hyperspace (destroying massive regions of Hyperspace entirely). These were used by the Kwa to trap the Celestial created horror; Mnggal-Mnggal in the Unknown Regions. Which is why hyperspace travel in the Unknown Regions is incredibly difficult to achieve, and as such is why it is mostly, Unknown.
Now that you mention it, the Eldari are just making life harder for themselves by not sharing the webway. It just means more use of the warp and more incursions by chaos that could attack their craftworlds. I suppose you could say the Imperium might do even more damage in the webway somehow, but I struggle to imagine how.
Well the webway is construct of the old ones... and its decaying quite significantly... and Eldar really do not know how to repair it. that last one who had even dared to build new pieces was the Emperor... hell the Golden throne was supposed to be a center of the Imperial webway - place where psykers could be trained and nurtured free of chaos. let alone removing the need for navigator guilds and clans... truth be told - that dream is shattered beyond repair. Now the only hope for achieving that dream lies with Belisarius Cawl... and his stride to understand necron FTL tech - both Dolmen gates (which just piggyback on webway) and their innertialless drives...
Not even the Webway is free of Daemonic incursions. When Magnus damaged The Golden Throne, he tore open large parts of the Webway and Daemons poured into it. The Custodians nearly lost their entire number just trying to keep them from flowing into the throne room.
The Webway is home to the Dark Eldar, who invite billions of Mon Kieg and other lesser species to their realm every day. For more information on how you can win a cruise on the pleasure barges of Commoragh contact you nearest Druchari Raider, and play RAID Shadow Legends.
tbh even talking about the denizens of the Warp is sufficient cause for a blamming, that in itself is proscribed knowledge; there's a reason the Emperor didn't tell his sons about Chaos
40k... i mean you litterally travel through hell, you might not even arrive faster, and there is a chance your ship might gain sapience and kill your entire crew.
Or you arrive before your ship left and you now have to explain to the Inquisition why there is two of the same ship and crew. Clearly one is corrupted by Chaos. On the bright side, you would help fill that inquisitor's quota for the month or so for "Heretics burned".
I'm gonna say before watching that it is the 40K travelling through the Sea of Souls, The Immaterium, the domain of daemons, aka The Warp. Edit: Of course Space Hell :)
I question your humanity first stance when you endorse Raid Shadow Legends. If you are going to have an endorsement have something that's useful and not a lightly disguised slot machine.
Not all races in 40k uses the warp, The Necrons can achieve FTL without using the warp. The Tyrannids can use gravity to compress space-time to achieve FTL. The Taus use the sub space between the Warp and Real Space for FTL
A few notable mentions: (Andromeda) Slipstream drive, which is entirely reliant on the intuition of the "pilot". (Battletech) Kearny-Fuchida Drives and of course let's not forget every genre's favorite alternative FTL method: Wormholes.
One minor addition to Warp travel is that you run the real risk of arriving at your destination before you left.... or arriving too late only to find an Ork Waaagh! has ravaged your destination in the interim.
I'm thankful to not have discovered Event Horizon when I was a child or teen. That movie scared me in my early 20s, it would have traumatised me before then. As someone that likes spaceships and space travel, it was the 1st time I got scared of FTL.
I'm pretty sure Tuska's the Ork who likes the in-flight entertainment more than most Orks. It certainly beats having to krump another greenskin because the git tried to knick your favorite choppa when your back was turned anyway.
"All races in 40k must travel through the warp to use ftl travel" Necrons don't use the warp at all. Eldar webway of course for the Eldar it's kinda not warp travel. Orks teleport sometimes. Tau don't get into the warp they skim the void near the edge of real and warp space. Last Tyranids slingshot themselves between stars.
@@lukasperuzovic1429 Unless they are Either Fighting Eldar or Necron But Seriuosly I think War in Heaven is even more Massive than the Current 40k Where Eldars, Krorks(Orks) and Necrons are at their Peak of their Power and i Wonder if the Imperium or even the Dark Age Of Technology Humanity could even have a Chance against them if ever they are thrown back in time and Fight them
They forgot the part in the 40k that there's a remote chance you arrive at your destination >before< you set out or the space hulls of random ships of random races lost in the warp smashed together with no rhyme or reason piping out at random times in random places for random duration
Not wanting to be 'that guy', but not every faction in 40K uses the Warp to achieve interstellar travel, at least not directly. The Aeldarri and Drukarhhi (Craftworld Eldar and Dark Eldar) both use the Webway, which is sort of Warp-adjacent but isn't actually Warp Space proper, to travel at the equivalent of FTL speeds. The Necrons also use the Webway by means of Dolman Gates, but have an alternative though slower means of FTL travel in the form of their Inertialess Drive technology. The Tyranids do not employ Warp travel at all, instead using some not entirely understood means of gravitational warping of space time to create a compressed space time corridor between their current location and their desired destination by means of a specialised bioform called a Narvhal. The gravitational forces involved being so powerful that they have an unfortunate tendency to cause natural disasters on the planets of the target solar system long before the Tyranid Swarm itself arrives, usually in the form of violent earthquakes and severe meteor storms. Though with that said, it is true that all human and human-ish 40K factions do use one form of Warp travel or another for FTL flight, often with disastrous consequences, ever since the Emperor's plan to claim access to the Webway for humanity failed back in the Horus Heresy era.
Excellent breakdown. One minor quibble: the "natural" disasters from an incoming Tyranid splinter fleet make life miserable for the defender, but they definitely aren't unfortunate from the Tyranid perspective. The disasters degrade the planet's military preparedness as they inflict losses and force the planetary government to spend precious resources mounting relief efforts, training replacement troops, repairing defenses and equipment, or even just getting their forces reorganized after the disruption, all without the Tyranids having to fire a shot.
@@tba113 I take your point, though I did mean unfortunate from the defender's perspective rather than that of the bugs. For the Tyranids, I imagine it is more like one of those old 'salt and shake' crisp packets or having their planetary biomass martini shaken instead of stirred.
1:13 Firefly Does NOT have FTL Travel, Firefly takes place in a Quintuple Star System called 34 Tauri with Dozens of planets. Humanity moved there after Screwing up earth using Slower than light Ships which took a couple generations to get to that system. For that reason Firefly Doesn’t Need FTL Travel since all its worlds are so close.
The infinite improbably drive is actually the safest FTL as it's infinitely improbable you would survive the process, therefore it is 100% safe. Edit: wrote this before watching the video. He's still wrong, its 100% safe.
Saw the title, first thought was of course WH40K. Because that franchise will top pretty much any "What's the most...." list. Unless we're talking about the most peaceful utopia in Sci Fi...
Two ftl methods I'd like to have seen explored here: BattleTech's Kearny-Fuchida drive, and the psychedelic method used by the Navigators and driven by "spice," in the "Dune" universe.
Great video! You got the Event Horizon-40K connection. I am impressed. I’m not even sure the creators knew that they had made a Warhammer 40,000 prequel film. One question, is it purely a coincidence that Alan seems to have lost his sleeves when you are wearing a button down?
I think the story is that the creators wanted to make a Warhammer 40k movie, but GW wouldn't give them the licensing, so they made Event Horizon instead
Wait a minute?!? Star Wars hyper drive as a bazillion factors to take into account. If even one is off, you're gonna be marooned in hyperspace to chill with the whales.
Not mentioned is the FTL of Robotech. While it seemed to work pretty dependably for the Zentraedi, it was a giant question mark for the Robotech Expeditionary Force. The SDF-1's space-fold not only transported that ship to the area around Pluto at the beginning of the saga, but also grabbed a large bubble of land/water/a couple of aircraft carriers surrounding the SDF-1 on its first use, then disappeared entirely from the ship (!). Later use in novels and a Robotech movie again show its lack of reliability.
Another dangerous method of FTL (though its in a book series not television) is FT&T's para-psychic teleportation, in Anne McCaffrey's Talent series. If the para-psychic doing the teleportation looses focus while the cargo or vessel is in transit it is forgotten and simply ceases to exist.
The Slipstream in Andromeda is also dangerous to travel. It takes a huge toll on the pilot if done repeatedly in short succession, you have to calculate and navigate a route through several jump points and the computer can't calculate it for you because the slipstream is "organic" and requires an element of intuition and luck to not break it. The hyperspace in Babylon5 is also dangerous since it has absolutely no navigational landmarks and spatial dimensions are unevenly distributed. If it wasn't for the hyperspace beacons at all the important locations, you'd never find your way out of it, even less out at a safe spot.
Discovery's Lt Stamets is sarcastically like "So tell me again why I have these implants in my arm? Oh yes, that's right. I navigate the Micennial Network! Where's THAT on this Dodgamn list?"
Just to clarify. in 40k, Tyranids do not use the warp to travel, rather a type of gravity FTL slingshot that GW hasn't elaborated on. Nor do the Tau, you skip the Warp. and the Aeldari use the Webway Gate Network. So not all races
Hyperspace from Babylon 5. While hyperspace travel is mostly safe for big ships that have their own hyperspace engines, smaller ships need to use jumpgates and are unable to leave hyperspace without those gates. Also hyperspace is impossible to navigate without the beacons of the jumpgates. So if a ship diverges too far from the beacon or if the beacon is turned off, the ship will stay trapped in hyperspace forever. Then there are the psychological effects. Looking at hyperspace too long will make someone go insane, but the pilot looking at hyperspace is necessary for safe travel.
Just a technical note- not every race in 40k needs to travel through the Warp to go FTL. The Necrons explicitly manage to move their ships between star systems at superluminal velocities in realspace by using an inertia-less drive system (letting them ignore their ships' mass and accelerate it faster than light using a powerful booster engine). This could be described as "cheating Einstein", but as anyone who's had to face a Necron fleet in Battlefleet Gothic can attest is perfectly adequately described as simply cheating. The only real drawback that anyone knows of with this method is that ships apparently can't maneuver while using their inertialess drive, so if the ship isn't pointed in precisely the right direction when they start accelerating to FTL, they're going to have to stop at some point and re-orient (oh, and if there happens to be something like a rock in their way a parsec down the line that they didn't notice, they're going to crash into it with ungodly amounts of kinetic energy). Of course, that's not to say that the Necrons don't use the Warp- they also have a network of nigh-instantaneous teleportation portals scattered about the galaxy that work by sending whatever passes through them through special conduits in the Empyrean (any similarity to Stargates is, for legal reasons, totally coincidental, honest). Those Necron portals typically aren't big enough for starships though (and their larger starships have them aboard).
They like to hitch rides on space hulks and make the place their homes. They don’t even put engines on or reactive them, they just wait until the space hulk hits something and then they have their fun. And that is true about the gellar fields turning off. Fighting daemons is cash money
What about Dune Guild Heighliners? They fold space to travel but it takes a Spice mutated Navigator with the ability to see into the near future to find a safe course that doesn't fold you into a star.
In W40K, humans can navigate through the warp thanks to the astronomicon. It's basically a psychic beacon that is continuously powered by the undying will of the emperor of mankind. It allows psychics on board ships to more or less knows where they need to go with regard to the astronomicon. The biggest fear of the imperium is that the emperor dies rendering all FTL travels impossible and it would plunge the imperium into a new dark age.
Ah, the Warp. Leave on a Monday, arrive on a Thursday. 3,000 years in the future. Or maybe 200 years in the past. Or maybe you just disappear and everyone immediately forgets you ever existed.
I was going to mention the Episiarchs that the Tandu use in David Brin's Uplift Universe. But the Infinite Improbability Drive from Hitchhiker's pretty much covers it.
Let us not forget that the Orkz will routinely deactivate their Gellar Field equivalent technology deliberately (or not even bother to install any in the first place), simply out of boredom during long Warp translations.
"Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. " Somebody short-circuit the Golden Throne and Imperium is done for....
And then you have the orks that turned the Gellar fields off on purpose just so they could have a good time fighting demons. In the end the demons just stopped bothering the ship.
I'm surprised that travel in the Dune universe isn't on the list as they need Guild Navigator so saturated in spice that they literally see the future in order to plot their course and still 1 in 10 ships fail to reach their destination
You have a nice shade of blonde hair, but it’s long now! Do something with it like tying it back, or pushing it behind both ears, it’s flair time now!! And don’t cave and head to the nearest bolian barber. They don’t even have hair, what would they know?
FSDs are really safe, but they are also a bit limited with regard to mass and gravitational forces. Capital ships are too large and massive to be able to use FSD, so they still have the old drives that basically rip open a dimensional rift and take the ship into witch space. Pretty safe for large ships, but smaller ones could get lost or come out "wrong", especially if they didn't carefully follow the navigational beacons, so pre-FSD times were a lot more... ehm... interesting.
@@enemixius Yeah, the earlier FSDs led to many individuals getting lost in Witchspace. Modern vessels use the 2b and 3 models respectively, 2b for Capital Ships. The use of common fuels instead of Qirium helps greatly too, allowing for most ships to simply refuel using the KGBFOAM method.
It's 106 million light years to Mars, we got a barely-functioning Geller Field, half a flask of unguents, the ship lights just went out, and we're wearing hoods. Hit it.
My people use the Aetherspace for FTL. It is LITERALLY the space between universes. Yall know dark matter? That is actually corridors of aetherspace lacing the universe within which the casthia ithieal savoudinna (kingdom of savoudin) vessels navigate. We use a pulse faze emitter array to generate a concentrated pulse of electromagnetic and gravometric forces which resonate at a VERY specific frequency to literally rip a hole in spacetime and grant access to the aether. This same array generates a shift in the faze of a sphere of spacetime around the ship. Thus cutting that section of spacetime away from all the rest. Which provides our own sphere of spacetime in which we can navigate the aether without instantly turning to atoms, which would then disintegrate themselves without the laws of the universe to guide them. We then pass from point to point. In lest than an hour we can go from kas'a'kasbrou (our home galaxy) to taurina'aela (our name for this galaxy) covering a distance of 100,000,000 light-years in a little over 1 hour.
Tyranid FTL is great! It's perfectly safe...for them. Not so much the planet they are going towards, which suffers massive tectonic upheavals due to the gravity tunnel they create.
I would think Star Treks normal warp drive would make the list. They rely on an anti matter reaction that in the event of a warp core breach nearly every episode the whole ship blows up.
Agreed. And crash-landing a starship on a populated planet with antimatter on board would be... sub-optimal. Honorable mention goes to the Romulans for using artificial black holes as a power source.

Warhammer 40k: We fly through Hell using old technology that no one understands, and which could fail at any moment.
When you literally have your mechanics praying that the giant ancient death trap flying through hell to get it to work yea kinda hard to put do it. Especially since some of them refuse to turn certain machines off because if they did they likely would never be able to turn them back on.
Well there is a psyker in stasis withing the Geller field generator which projects its dreams as veil of normality around the ship... if the psyker dies... geller field is off...
It's the same as playing Russian roulette with a 2 chamber revolver. You'll win the game at some point.
Kind of like Boeing's airplanes. ;P
No worries, Cawls will fix it.

Warhammer 40k, afflicted by Gellar Pox: **AHEM**
you assume that travel through literal hell, while only one person on whole ship know the way and everything is held by ancient technology no one really understands....is dangerous?
Technically wh40k ships don’t travel faster than light
Technically Halo ships don’t travel faster than light, they use slipspace...
And the MCU was using the worm holes/jump points... so the ship isn't really traveling near, at, or faster than light...
@@giant3dorangutanmodel89 I think writers already gave up with explaining warp spaghettis.
There was a form of FTL in John M. Ford's "Web of Angels" (1980) where the ship couldn't have windows because simply viewing the non-euclidean space outside would cause one to go mad.
Shades of another SF story I read where anything with a pulse needed to be sedated during FTL travel or go mad, and ships pilots had artificial hearts that didn't have a beat.
I'm bummed I can't remember the name of the story though
LUDICROUS speed is not that dangerous if you remember to buckle up or if you're wearing an helmet 😎👍.
And you don’t mind plaid
And when you arrive, remember
Smoke if you got 'em!
Another dangerous ftl: Babylon 5, as you can get lost in it, attacked by ghost ships, or flung off into the void to never be heard from again. Also, the biggest dangers of the slipspace drives are the effects of the drives themselves when something goes wrong with them. They have caused engineers who worked on them to disappear, can accidentally cause time travel, can teleport part of a ship to oblivion while leaving the rest exposed to vacuum, and make crews generally nervous to work near them. Also, shouldn't the chronosphere be included? You can get crew phased into the hull of a ship and it causes chronostorms if used too much.
Me thinks there needs to be a part two too this video };3
Still not as bad as 40k warp.
This channel ignores Babylon 5... they never mention the show in any of their videos because I'm pretty sure they never watched the show. Its a real shame as its better than any of the other sci-fi shows they talk about.
@@anonymousrex5207 I don't know I think the expense is pretty on par with Babylon 5... they just admitted that they just now started watching Stargate... but yeah they really do need to start getting in the Babylon 5 it is definitely one of the best sci-fi shows out there.

For those who are interested, There are actually 3 FTL methods in Star Wars.
1. Hyperspace (travel through a dimension that has an infinite speed cap and a minimum speed cap of C whilst avoiding gravity wells created by stars, planets and anomalies unique to Hyperspace).
2. HyperGate (instantaneous hyperspace travel between two or more connected HyperGates (inspired by Infinity Gates but less advanced)).
3. Infinity Gate (instantaneous travel with the force through an Infinity Gate, to anywhere else).
Bonus info, the creators of the Infinity Gates, the Kwa, were responsible for uplifting the Rakata, which became immediately conquest orientated and spread their Infinite Empire across the galaxy. The Kwa would go into solitude within their home systems and Infinity Gates out of fear, eventually developing an anti progress culture, and devolving into a primitive species that cannot talk or understand speech.
The Infinite Empire attempted (and failed) at learning the secrets of Infinity Gates of the Kwa, and the HyperGates of the Gree Empire, and went on to develop Hyper Drives through what little research they did gain from HyperGates.
These Hyper Drives were then found on Corellia by human settlers from Coruscant (who used STL drives) many thousands of years after the Infinite Empire collapsed due to a plague, and were re-engineered, giving the "modern" galaxy hyperspace technology. The Gree would later forget how to use their HyperGates.
Bonus info 2. Hyperspace is not just another dimension that you use to travel and is home to an entire alternate universe that mirrors the "main" dimensions universe in shape. It is full of Hyperspace native alien species that are mostly hostile to any form of life, as well as one species that is bent on Galatic conquest. Also some hellish horrors, and some have found themselves trapped in hyperspace before. Some more friendly alien species have successfully made it into normal space and I beleive one of them is even seen in the main movies (but I forget which)
Infinity Gates can also be used as weapons that not only destroy matter in realspace but also the very fabric of space-time in hyperspace (destroying massive regions of Hyperspace entirely). These were used by the Kwa to trap the Celestial created horror; Mnggal-Mnggal in the Unknown Regions. Which is why hyperspace travel in the Unknown Regions is incredibly difficult to achieve, and as such is why it is mostly, Unknown.
I didn't know about #2, it seems George felt he had to do something to compete with wh40k
I had no clue that Star Wars had Stargates.

@@gravytube4099 simultaneously the fastest and slowest, though more likely than not the slowest
Now that you mention it, the Eldari are just making life harder for themselves by not sharing the webway. It just means more use of the warp and more incursions by chaos that could attack their craftworlds. I suppose you could say the Imperium might do even more damage in the webway somehow, but I struggle to imagine how.
Well the webway is construct of the old ones... and its decaying quite significantly...
and Eldar really do not know how to repair it. that last one who had even dared to build new pieces was the Emperor... hell the Golden throne was supposed to be a center of the Imperial webway - place where psykers could be trained and nurtured free of chaos.
let alone removing the need for navigator guilds and clans...
truth be told - that dream is shattered beyond repair.
Now the only hope for achieving that dream lies with Belisarius Cawl... and his stride to understand necron FTL tech - both Dolmen gates (which just piggyback on webway) and their innertialless drives...
Not even the Webway is free of Daemonic incursions. When Magnus damaged The Golden Throne, he tore open large parts of the Webway and Daemons poured into it. The Custodians nearly lost their entire number just trying to keep them from flowing into the throne room.
The Webway is home to the Dark Eldar, who invite billions of Mon Kieg and other lesser species to their realm every day.

Almost called the local inquisition agent....
tbh even talking about the denizens of the Warp is sufficient cause for a blamming, that in itself is proscribed knowledge; there's a reason the Emperor didn't tell his sons about Chaos
3:45 skip the bs ad your welcome.
Really come on 3:45 is way to long of an ad....
"When you've gone all these years and you still don't even know what raid Shadow Legends is, and you've never played it"
40k... i mean you litterally travel through hell, you might not even arrive faster, and there is a chance your ship might gain sapience and kill your entire crew.
Or you arrive before your ship left and you now have to explain to the Inquisition why there is two of the same ship and crew.
Clearly one is corrupted by Chaos. On the bright side, you would help fill that inquisitor's quota for the month or so for "Heretics burned".
I'm gonna say before watching that it is the 40K travelling through the Sea of Souls, The Immaterium, the domain of daemons, aka The Warp.
Edit: Of course Space Hell :)
Firefly has no ftl flight because firefly's entire universe is within one solar system. They explained it at the beginning of the movie.
I question your humanity first stance when you endorse Raid Shadow Legends. If you are going to have an endorsement have something that's useful and not a lightly disguised slot machine.
Maybe if youtube paid better they wouldnt have to use sponsors. And there are worse things to endorse.
I just love that you include Event Horizon with 40k for FTL, it's so true and such an underrated movie
Not all races in 40k uses the warp, The Necrons can achieve FTL without using the warp. The Tyrannids can use gravity to compress space-time to achieve FTL. The Taus use the sub space between the Warp and Real Space for FTL
Navigators (Dune): *snorts a line of coke* Alight, I'm ready to fold space, look into the probable future, and take this rust bucket to Arrakis...
A few notable mentions:
(Andromeda) Slipstream drive, which is entirely reliant on the intuition of the "pilot".
(Battletech) Kearny-Fuchida Drives
and of course let's not forget every genre's favorite alternative FTL method: Wormholes.
Yes, wormholes.
Sometimes they have *Desmonds* in them - mutated, gigantic parasitic *worms.*
One minor addition to Warp travel is that you run the real risk of arriving at your destination before you left.... or arriving too late only to find an Ork Waaagh! has ravaged your destination in the interim.
I'm thankful to not have discovered Event Horizon when I was a child or teen. That movie scared me in my early 20s, it would have traumatised me before then.
As someone that likes spaceships and space travel, it was the 1st time I got scared of FTL.

40k warp travel is also low-key the fastest. Sometimes you'll show up where you're going before you even left your starting point
And sometimes thousand years later.
And sometimes not at all
Or, some pieces of you will make it back into Realspace, and some won't.
On a brighter side sometimes you get an extra hand or arm or tentacle.
Tuska , the Deamon Slayer is the one person who likes dangerous FTL :D
For Tuska, the time when Gella Field failed is called "in-flight entertainment hours"
I'm pretty sure Tuska's the Ork who likes the in-flight entertainment more than most Orks. It certainly beats having to krump another greenskin because the git tried to knick your favorite choppa when your back was turned anyway.
I would put Babylon 5's Hyperspace on this list
Without those beacons... you're screwed.

Before watching: if 40k isn't number 1 then you're doing it wrong.
"All races in 40k must travel through the warp to use ftl travel" Necrons don't use the warp at all. Eldar webway of course for the Eldar it's kinda not warp travel. Orks teleport sometimes. Tau don't get into the warp they skim the void near the edge of real and warp space. Last Tyranids slingshot themselves between stars.
Orks on their Attack Moons during the War of the Beast used something more akin to Hyperspace jump
@@alterego9082 Well to be fair not even the Orks knows why it works, or how it works, just that they believe it would work

They forgot the part in the 40k that there's a remote chance you arrive at your destination >before< you set out or the space hulls of random ships of random races lost in the warp smashed together with no rhyme or reason piping out at random times in random places for random duration
Got to have Dune in there. So difficult humans had to turn into prescient worms by smoking spice.
``video games are canceled`` here is a 2 min add for the cursed mobile game.
Not wanting to be 'that guy', but not every faction in 40K uses the Warp to achieve interstellar travel, at least not directly. The Aeldarri and Drukarhhi (Craftworld Eldar and Dark Eldar) both use the Webway, which is sort of Warp-adjacent but isn't actually Warp Space proper, to travel at the equivalent of FTL speeds. The Necrons also use the Webway by means of Dolman Gates, but have an alternative though slower means of FTL travel in the form of their Inertialess Drive technology. The Tyranids do not employ Warp travel at all, instead using some not entirely understood means of gravitational warping of space time to create a compressed space time corridor between their current location and their desired destination by means of a specialised bioform called a Narvhal. The gravitational forces involved being so powerful that they have an unfortunate tendency to cause natural disasters on the planets of the target solar system long before the Tyranid Swarm itself arrives, usually in the form of violent earthquakes and severe meteor storms. Though with that said, it is true that all human and human-ish 40K factions do use one form of Warp travel or another for FTL flight, often with disastrous consequences, ever since the Emperor's plan to claim access to the Webway for humanity failed back in the Horus Heresy era.
Excellent breakdown.
One minor quibble: the "natural" disasters from an incoming Tyranid splinter fleet make life miserable for the defender, but they definitely aren't unfortunate from the Tyranid perspective. The disasters degrade the planet's military preparedness as they inflict losses and force the planetary government to spend precious resources mounting relief efforts, training replacement troops, repairing defenses and equipment, or even just getting their forces reorganized after the disruption, all without the Tyranids having to fire a shot.
@@tba113 I take your point, though I did mean unfortunate from the defender's perspective rather than that of the bugs. For the Tyranids, I imagine it is more like one of those old 'salt and shake' crisp packets or having their planetary biomass martini shaken instead of stirred.
1:13 Firefly Does NOT have FTL Travel,
Firefly takes place in a Quintuple Star System called 34 Tauri with Dozens of planets. Humanity moved there after Screwing up earth using Slower than light Ships which took a couple generations to get to that system.
For that reason Firefly Doesn’t Need FTL Travel since all its worlds are so close.
The infinite improbably drive is actually the safest FTL as it's infinitely improbable you would survive the process, therefore it is 100% safe.
Edit: wrote this before watching the video. He's still wrong, its 100% safe.
Yes, but they missed the Bistromath in the previous one, so meh... At least we know where our towels are.
Why would you want to survive? Is the universe not cruel enough?
Saw the title, first thought was of course WH40K. Because that franchise will top pretty much any "What's the most...." list. Unless we're talking about the most peaceful utopia in Sci Fi...
Two ftl methods I'd like to have seen explored here: BattleTech's Kearny-Fuchida drive, and the psychedelic method used by the Navigators and driven by "spice," in the "Dune" universe.
Great video! You got the Event Horizon-40K connection. I am impressed. I’m not even sure the creators knew that they had made a Warhammer 40,000 prequel film.
One question, is it purely a coincidence that Alan seems to have lost his sleeves when you are wearing a button down?
I think the story is that the creators wanted to make a Warhammer 40k movie, but GW wouldn't give them the licensing, so they made Event Horizon instead
Wait a minute?!? Star Wars hyper drive as a bazillion factors to take into account. If even one is off, you're gonna be marooned in hyperspace to chill with the whales.
The warp is fucking hell.
40k wins, like it allways dose when it comes to insane bullshit....
Thats Why its so fun.
It also suck because basically no one can hurt most creatures
Might be late, but with an answer so obvious to this question I was so early I knew it before it was asked.
Ah. Despite their FLT being slow, the Imperium has already gotten here
Due to an error in calculations, they came out of the Warp 150 years ago. They've been waiting.
Not mentioned is the FTL of Robotech. While it seemed to work pretty dependably for the Zentraedi, it was a giant question mark for the Robotech Expeditionary Force. The SDF-1's space-fold not only transported that ship to the area around Pluto at the beginning of the saga, but also grabbed a large bubble of land/water/a couple of aircraft carriers surrounding the SDF-1 on its first use, then disappeared entirely from the ship (!). Later use in novels and a Robotech movie again show its lack of reliability.
Another dangerous method of FTL (though its in a book series not television) is FT&T's para-psychic teleportation, in Anne McCaffrey's Talent series. If the para-psychic doing the teleportation looses focus while the cargo or vessel is in transit it is forgotten and simply ceases to exist.
The Slipstream in Andromeda is also dangerous to travel. It takes a huge toll on the pilot if done repeatedly in short succession, you have to calculate and navigate a route through several jump points and the computer can't calculate it for you because the slipstream is "organic" and requires an element of intuition and luck to not break it.
The hyperspace in Babylon5 is also dangerous since it has absolutely no navigational landmarks and spatial dimensions are unevenly distributed. If it wasn't for the hyperspace beacons at all the important locations, you'd never find your way out of it, even less out at a safe spot.
Event Horizon is such an underrated movie. And yes, I'm convinced it is a prequel to 40K.
3:42 to skip the raid shitter legends ad
Discovery's Lt Stamets is sarcastically like "So tell me again why I have these implants in my arm? Oh yes, that's right. I navigate the Micennial Network! Where's THAT on this Dodgamn list?"
he doesn't have implants anymore
Disco's pixie dust and rainbow unicorn fart drive.
The Alderson Point to exit the Mote system, the 'Crazy Eddy' point, leads into the atmosphere of a red giant star. The Mote In God's Eye, etc.
Just to clarify. in 40k, Tyranids do not use the warp to travel, rather a type of gravity FTL slingshot that GW hasn't elaborated on. Nor do the Tau, you skip the Warp. and the Aeldari use the Webway Gate Network. So not all races
Also the Necrons, who don't use the Warp either.
Hyperspace from Babylon 5. While hyperspace travel is mostly safe for big ships that have their own hyperspace engines, smaller ships need to use jumpgates and are unable to leave hyperspace without those gates. Also hyperspace is impossible to navigate without the beacons of the jumpgates. So if a ship diverges too far from the beacon or if the beacon is turned off, the ship will stay trapped in hyperspace forever.
Then there are the psychological effects. Looking at hyperspace too long will make someone go insane, but the pilot looking at hyperspace is necessary for safe travel.
For all guardsmen party’s out there commandeer the storage room next to the gellar field less warp shenanigans
I hear they have a pretty good card game going. Tough to get into, though.
Just a technical note- not every race in 40k needs to travel through the Warp to go FTL. The Necrons explicitly manage to move their ships between star systems at superluminal velocities in realspace by using an inertia-less drive system (letting them ignore their ships' mass and accelerate it faster than light using a powerful booster engine). This could be described as "cheating Einstein", but as anyone who's had to face a Necron fleet in Battlefleet Gothic can attest is perfectly adequately described as simply cheating.
The only real drawback that anyone knows of with this method is that ships apparently can't maneuver while using their inertialess drive, so if the ship isn't pointed in precisely the right direction when they start accelerating to FTL, they're going to have to stop at some point and re-orient (oh, and if there happens to be something like a rock in their way a parsec down the line that they didn't notice, they're going to crash into it with ungodly amounts of kinetic energy).
Of course, that's not to say that the Necrons don't use the Warp- they also have a network of nigh-instantaneous teleportation portals scattered about the galaxy that work by sending whatever passes through them through special conduits in the Empyrean (any similarity to Stargates is, for legal reasons, totally coincidental, honest). Those Necron portals typically aren't big enough for starships though (and their larger starships have them aboard).
I think that the Orks like Warp travel too. They even tirn off their Gellar Fields so that they can get into a good scrap.
They like to hitch rides on space hulks and make the place their homes. They don’t even put engines on or reactive them, they just wait until the space hulk hits something and then they have their fun. And that is true about the gellar fields turning off. Fighting daemons is cash money
Yeah but they're nutters, so they don't count :P
@@NickCombs what do you mean Orks don’t count?
(Obligatory WAAAAGH!!!)
your video just getting better in quality.
good job
If you listen really carefully you can hear the safety being reapplied to an inquisitor's bolter.
YES! You gave Event Horizon an honorable mention, even though yes the movie is kinda' sorta' unofficially a nod to 40K
The Orks love traveling in the Warp in WH40K. Lots of fun things to fight on the way to pass the time.
What about Dune Guild Heighliners? They fold space to travel but it takes a Spice mutated Navigator with the ability to see into the near future to find a safe course that doesn't fold you into a star.
Mmm, the Office of Naval Intelligence is pleased to know no casualties have taken place. Midnight Facility will have room just in case.
In W40K, humans can navigate through the warp thanks to the astronomicon. It's basically a psychic beacon that is continuously powered by the undying will of the emperor of mankind. It allows psychics on board ships to more or less knows where they need to go with regard to the astronomicon. The biggest fear of the imperium is that the emperor dies rendering all FTL travels impossible and it would plunge the imperium into a new dark age.
Ah, the Warp. Leave on a Monday, arrive on a Thursday. 3,000 years in the future. Or maybe 200 years in the past. Or maybe you just disappear and everyone immediately forgets you ever existed.
I was going to mention the Episiarchs that the Tandu use in David Brin's Uplift Universe. But the Infinite Improbability Drive from Hitchhiker's pretty much covers it.
Let us not forget that the Orkz will routinely deactivate their Gellar Field equivalent technology deliberately (or not even bother to install any in the first place), simply out of boredom during long Warp translations.
40k done
My thumb hurts from skipping through the 3 1/2 minute ad for a game that’s sooooo great but that also really needs our help...... does not compute.
"Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. "
Somebody short-circuit the Golden Throne and Imperium is done for....
Or just stop feeding the Golden Throne a thousand psyker souls a day.
And then you have the orks that turned the Gellar fields off on purpose just so they could have a good time fighting demons. In the end the demons just stopped bothering the ship.
I thought that was almost all orc ships. The idea is to get training time in during the trip.
I would add Babylon 5 hyperspace to this list if the ship loses power they could all die never to be seen again.
What about Battlestar Galactica, where the FTL has to be calculated by humans based on the stars they can see. One ship even landed in a mountain.
I'm surprised that travel in the Dune universe isn't on the list as they need Guild Navigator so saturated in spice that they literally see the future in order to plot their course and still 1 in 10 ships fail to reach their destination
Good video but very predictable that the Game with everything turned to 11 would be on top
You have a nice shade of blonde hair, but it’s long now! Do something with it like tying it back, or pushing it behind both ears, it’s flair time now!!
And don’t cave and head to the nearest bolian barber. They don’t even have hair, what would they know?
AFAIR, in B5 you can get lost in subspace and there are creatures living in it. Or something like that, it's been ages since I've seen any episode.
I'm pretty sure that orks enjoy travelling through the warp. What's better than going to your next fight? Your next fight coming to you of course.
Elite: Dangerous might be the most safe.
FSDs are really safe, but they are also a bit limited with regard to mass and gravitational forces. Capital ships are too large and massive to be able to use FSD, so they still have the old drives that basically rip open a dimensional rift and take the ship into witch space. Pretty safe for large ships, but smaller ones could get lost or come out "wrong", especially if they didn't carefully follow the navigational beacons, so pre-FSD times were a lot more... ehm... interesting.
@@enemixius Yeah, the earlier FSDs led to many individuals getting lost in Witchspace. Modern vessels use the 2b and 3 models respectively, 2b for Capital Ships. The use of common fuels instead of Qirium helps greatly too, allowing for most ships to simply refuel using the KGBFOAM method.
For the Emperor!!!!
It's 106 million light years to Mars, we got a barely-functioning Geller Field, half a flask of unguents, the ship lights just went out, and we're wearing hoods.
Hit it.
My people use the Aetherspace for FTL.
It is LITERALLY the space between universes.
Yall know dark matter?
That is actually corridors of aetherspace lacing the universe within which the casthia ithieal savoudinna (kingdom of savoudin) vessels navigate. We use a pulse faze emitter array to generate a concentrated pulse of electromagnetic and gravometric forces which resonate at a VERY specific frequency to literally rip a hole in spacetime and grant access to the aether. This same array generates a shift in the faze of a sphere of spacetime around the ship. Thus cutting that section of spacetime away from all the rest. Which provides our own sphere of spacetime in which we can navigate the aether without instantly turning to atoms, which would then disintegrate themselves without the laws of the universe to guide them. We then pass from point to point. In lest than an hour we can go from kas'a'kasbrou (our home galaxy) to taurina'aela (our name for this galaxy) covering a distance of 100,000,000 light-years in a little over 1 hour.
Tyranid FTL is great! It's perfectly safe...for them. Not so much the planet they are going towards, which suffers massive tectonic upheavals due to the gravity tunnel they create.
*Warp Terrors Intensify*
As a note performing manual maintenance on a slipspace drive has resulted in technicians simply vanishing
Firefly doesn't _have_ FTL. The entire series takes place within a very large, complex multiple star system.
I would think Star Treks normal warp drive would make the list. They rely on an anti matter reaction that in the event of a warp core breach nearly every episode the whole ship blows up.
Agreed. And crash-landing a starship on a populated planet with antimatter on board would be... sub-optimal. Honorable mention goes to the Romulans for using artificial black holes as a power source.
