No, but the term was popularized by the 1960s TV series.

Warp drive is a faster than light propulsion system used in Star Trek. Warp 9 is 1516 times the speed of light ( about) This is 454485366 kilometers per second. At this speed it would take only .66 minutes to cross our entire solar system so bluckle your seat belt!
According to Star Trek (where the idea for warp became common if not where it was created) it will be achieved on stardate 50893.5 or April 4, 2063 after the fallout of world war III. The first craft to reach warp1 will be The S.S. Phoenix piloted by Dr. Zefram Cochrane
A warp engine is the main way a starship from Star Trek travels. A warp engine has a antimatter-matter reaction in a chamber with the fictional style dilithium crystal chamber. The engines cause space-time in front of the ship to become less dense and behind to become more dense, propelling the ship to a max of warp 9.9995 (almost 10,000 times the speed of light).
== == From what I remember, impulse speed was used to dock and leave a space station; so it would make sense that this form of movement has a low velocity (try parking a car at 80mph). Warp speed is supposedly faster than the speed of light, I think... So warp speed is faster than impulse speed. Warp speed, as above, is faster than light, whereas impulse speed is used to move around within a sector of space. Warp speed is much, much faster. According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, which uses the Okuda warp scale, impulse speed is 1/4 lightspeed, or 270 million km/h. Warp 1 is lightspeed, or 1078 million km/h. Any warp factor is considerably faster than impulse (or "sublight") engines.
As with all engines fictional or not running them at max always will cause damage.
The method for achieving warp speed in Star Trek is to warp the space around the vessel and leave the vessel in a pocket of normal space. It contracts space time in front of the vessel and expands the space time behind it.
0.5 light speed
In the Star Trek Series 3, the number 3500 is significant because it represents the maximum warp speed of the USS Enterprise, which is the fastest speed the ship can travel in the Star Trek universe.
Most of the space ships on Star Trek are powerd by Dilithium a very common substance. The ships are able to move at sub-light speeds or warp(the speed of light and faster). They are powerd by the warp core and the thrusters.
It turns off by itself in a few minutes if you don't touch it.
No, there was never any mention of a solution to that phenomenon.
According to Wikipedia, the Enterprise (NCC-1701) had a maximum speed of warp 9.(Article: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701)")
Dilithium
Press "F" Key to begin moving. To Warp press and hold the "E" key and move your mouse to the little warp core symbol, this routes power to the engines. i am asking what button do you press for sub-system targeting!
In "Star Trek," warp 9 is considered to be about 1516 times the speed of light. It enables spacecraft to traverse vast distances across the galaxy in a relatively short amount of time.

the warp naclles are because they are connected to the warp core(antimater/mater reactor)
