[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] I think that TPTB made the term up in ST:III so they'd have an excuse to say why the Excelsior was so much "better" and "faster" than the Enterprise. I doubt they thought much about the technical aspects. Later, it was generally accepted that transwarp drive didn't work properly (thanks to Scotty), and the project was abandoned. In early TNG, the Borg's method of propulsion was unknown, but there didn't seem to be any sort of "drive" running the ship. IIRC, "Descent" was the first TNG ep to state that the Borg used transwarp corridors, although it seemed to imply that this technology was being used by Lore's Borg renegades only. By the time of Voyager, however, someone made the decision that an actual transwarp drive was the propulsion system that all Borg ships used. So it's possible that one method of propulsion that Starfleet couldn't get to work right 70 years ago could have been perfected by the Borg fairly recently, thereby renewing Starfleet's interest in it.
