The Warp.jpg

The Warp is an immaterial dimension of Energy, Emotion and constant change, it is home to strange beings and landscapes that would be considered dreamlike or nightmare like depending.

It flows like an ocean filled with rivers, constantly changing flows of energy currents, it is a place where thought can be made reality.

The Warp interacts with many different realities by does not always connect them except for a few instances, however thoughts may travel the bounds of time and space and existence in here.

All psykers draw their power from this realm, and New Covenant Vessels use it to let them efficiently travel Faster than light speeds, though time spent in the warp is generally exponentially longer than the time it takes to travel, so what seems like a jump that took a few hours or a week or so can act in the warp as weeks or months. However no biological aging occurs (Though their are exceptions, mostly in those who are born and live and grow up on ships, however there seems to be a point where growth during warp travel stops and only occurs in real space, this seems to be immediately after full development) during the travel, and so this may be seen as beneficial military wise as on board troops have time to train and prepare for an engagement, making New Covenant troops appear well prepared even though they may appear to not have had time to train.

The Warp is currently only used by the New Covenant and their Demonic enemies.
