 SL> or something like that??
Oh boy.... I don't know if people will answer this in this echo...
try TREK_TECH, they'll answer ALL that!
But no, it's not warp 10, 10 is impossible.  Conduits are *SORTA*
like a wormhole (Don't get me wrong, they're not wormholes!)
but they connect two pieces of space and let someone go through them
without experiencing the long reaches of space!!
