Transwarp network

A transwarp network, sometimes spelled as trans warp network, was the term used of networked transwarp connections in space. (; , display graphic)
== Borg transwarp network ==
The Borg transwarp network in the 24th century was a vast series of transwarp conduits spanning the entire Milky Way Galaxy. The conduits in the network were connected by 6 transwarp hubs, and were supported by a series of interspatial manifolds, which were protected by shielding regulated from the central nexus by the Borg Queen herself. The network maintained thousands of exit apertures in all four quadrants, allowing the Collective to deploy vessels almost anywhere in the galaxy within minutes, giving the Borg a decisive strategic advantage. 
The transwarp network was destroyed in 2378 when Kathryn Janeway's counterpart from 2404 was able to infect the Queen with a neurolytic pathogen, an act which interfered with the Queen's ability to regulate the shielding protecting the interspatial manifolds. This in turn allowed the crew of the to fire a series of transphasic torpedoes, destroying the manifolds and causing the network to collapse. ()
In 2399, parts of the network remained intact in the Alpha and possibly Beta Quadrants. Soji Asha, who presumed that she must've picked up a map of the network while on the , was able to guide La Sirena to the nearest node in the network which opened upon the ship's approach and transported La Sirena to Coppelius, taking the ship twenty-five light years in just fifteen minutes.

In 2401, the new Borg Queen revealed to Jean-Luc Picard that the destruction of the Borg transwarp network had stuck the few surviving Borg "at the very edge of space, where [they] left us, poisoned. No worlds to consume, no roads by which to return. Just the cruelty to die by starvation and age." () Even without the network, both the Artifact and the Borg Queen's cube were able to transport themselves using transwarp conduits. ()
== Federation transwarp network ==
In the alternate 2259, the Federation had an experimental transwarp network in the Alpha Quadrant. The network, resembling a triangle, had three points resembling hollow yellow-bordered pentagons. One of the routes was a corridor. This network was labeled on a map depicting a section of the Alpha Quadrant. This map was seen on a powerwall in the offices of Admirals and at Starfleet Headquarters. ()
