Most major alien races are known to possess dimensional warp drive systems. The systems employed by the Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians are approximately equivalent to those used by the Federation. Powers near the galactic core appear to have discovered hyperspace travel before normal space warp travel and tend to use dimensional warp technologies prefferentially. As would be expected, their systems are correspondingly more advanced and efficient. The Dalriadan Alliance, in particular, has a very efficient hyperspace drive system which is capable of operating over extended distances using only fussion power. It is believed that the Dalriadan hyperspace technology owes largely to technology originally developed by the Sidhe Imperium. | Most major alien races are known to possess dimensional warp drive systems.

While Federation starships are limited to travel under their own power into the Kappa band, hyperspace booster gates in normal space can help them reach the Lambda band. | |||
While conventional warp drives are very dangerous to use inside systems because of high particle densities, it can be fatal to use hyperspace drive inside the [[TechMemo:Warp Limit| warp limit]] of a system. Stars and other massive objects create gravitational singularities in hyperspace. It is fatal to attempt to enter or leave hyperspace inside these singularities. | While conventional warp drives are very dangerous to use inside systems because of high particle densities, it can be fatal to use hyperspace drive inside the [[TechMemo:Warp Limit| warp limit]] of a system.
