Invention of the Warp Drive

In the aftermath of the Invasion of Astra, humans salvaged remnants of elven technology from the battlefield. Among the wreckage, they uncovered advanced magical technologies and spells previously unknown to them. This discovery proved pivotal. Combining the newly acquired elven knowledge with their own, humans made a breakthrough: the invention of the warp drive.

The warp drive, rooted in the dangerous principles of teleportation magic, harnesses the explosive nature of teleportation and compresses it into a controlled technology. This innovation allowed ships to travel through space at an instant, cutting journeys that once took lifetimes down to mere seconds. It was a revolutionary moment for humanity, as the warp drive transformed interstellar travel overnight.

Humans were the first to unlock this powerful technology, giving them a significant edge in space exploration. But their discovery did not remain exclusive for long—soon, the elves too mastered the warp drive. In the spirit of unity, humans shared this gift with the other core species, much as they had done in the past. This event marked a turning point for the galaxy, as civilizations embraced a new era of intergalactic travel and exploration.
