That's what I was thinking of, too.

The Roebani Injunction would have given Medwedia hyperspace technology if it would posess it, but I guess that Medwedian scientists would be biting their nails reverse-engineering it until today, most intergalactic vessels using the already advanced Transwarp drive.

One question: how could I realistically depict Transwarp drives? If warp drives mean that ships have separate nacelles, how would Transwarp ships look?

And since a Transwarp drive is much harder to build and much more expensive, I think that Medwedia would employ intergalactic carriers. They could be called "Andromeda Ferries" and would be basically multiple kilometers long, mostly consisting of docking space and fuel tanks. They would house normal ships that would be Enterprise-sized and outfitted with "normal" warp drives. I think that to save space and negate the need for crew transfers, the crews and passengers of the normal ships would stay in them during the weeklong to monthlong passage. The carriers would be nowhere as big as French ones, but still the biggest ships the Medwedian Space Fleet has ever built.

Good idea? And to repeat, how would a transwarp ship look and what would be its main features?
