Voidwarp is a technology that enables the instantaneous displacement of physical material to a separate location. The technology relies on opening up a void rift and calibrating the particles to jump to the output location. Void rifts are only stable for short periods of time. Currently, Cascade’s Voidwarp technology is limited by particle stability. A single warp generator cannot operate for a minimum of 3 hours after use in the theoretical best-case scenario. The recovery time depends on the length travelled and the size of the Voidwarp rift. For large-distance expeditions, VoidWarp will be inactive for approximately 48-72 hours. Travelling with even larger ships may require weeks of downtime before being safe to operate again. Living beings need some kind of vessel (such as an airship) to travel through VoidWarp. This is because the single device that opens the rift to Voidwarp must be present throughout the warp, and must exist after the warp to close the rift. This suggests that static warp portals are not possible.

It is possible to create a device for a single-use warp, such as a portable Voidwarp engine. However, this is impractical and not worth the cost Broskm and Stubby are the only exceptions of living beings Voidwarping, due to documents suggesting self-experimentation. However, these experiments are limited in form and circumstance. To Cascade’s knowledge, Voidwarp without a vessel requires an extremely controlled lab environment to be performed risk-free. H-nation has developed a different kind of Voidwarp from their research. The details are unknown, but it seems more volatile and risky than Cascade or Xender Voidwarp technology. Interesting cases of Voidwarp occur for Project Novaform’s rift and Void Hydra’s beams. They work off a “pseudo vessel” by expelling void matter through to maintain the portal from an external point, treating each object as “an engine.” This, however, is impossible for people or ordinary materials. Project Novaform’s rift is likely not replicable due to needing the power of the superweapon core.
