	In [[Warhammer 40,000\|the grim darkness of the far future]], traveling between the stars is still as a much as a pain on sublight propulsion as it would be today. Thankfully the various races have figured out various ways around Einstein's pesky "impassable" speed of light.

	The other Necron FTL method, and arguably the best in the setting, an Inertialess Drive isn't as much as a loophole for the speed of light as it is a direct "fuck you" to it. Essentially removing all inertia from a vessel, this allows the 'Crons to travel at ludicrous speed in the Materium, and [[What\|make capital ships as nimble as fighters]]. However, as a Nercron voidship remains in the Materium, physical objects and Warp storms still pose a hazard to travel, so whenever one of these heavily impedes use they just opt to use a Dolmen Gate.

			==Eternity Gate==
			More a long-range teleporter than an FTL method, but it counts. Also known as a [[Edgy\|Dark Portal or Portal of Exile]], an Eternity Gate opens an inter-dimensional portal that allows Necron troops to arrive at a battlefield from elsewhere in the galaxy. They're that green portal on the front side of a [[Monolith#Warhammer 40,000\|Monolith]], and can also be found incorporated into the Tomb Citadels of a Necron [[Tomb World]].

	Humanity discovered Warp travel during the Dark Age of Technology, which greatly accelerated their expansion across the stars. Unfortunately this reliance would bite them in the ass during the Age of Strife, as the Immaterium would become untraversable and cut worlds off from each other - coupled with the outbreak of Daemons and Psykers, this did not end well. This cutoff problem was one of many reasons why [[Emperor of Mankind\|Big E]] tried to create the Imperial Webway before [[Magnus\|a certain Primarch]] [[FAIL\|did everything wrong]] and the [[Horus Heresy]] saw him put on <s>a golden toilet</s> {{BLAM}} the Golden Throne for over 10,000 years.

			==Warp Gates==
			Actual wormholes. These are stable (to varying degrees) passages through the ever-turbulent Warp, and as such major routes often pop up around them. Examples include the [[Cadia\|Cadian Gate]] (the only '[[Bullshit\|safe]]' route into the [[Eye of Terror]], before [[Abaddon\|Failbaddon]] got assmad and threw a [[Blackstone Fortress]] at the namesake planet), the [[Jericho Reach\|Jericho-Maw Warp Gate]], the [[Vigilus\|Nachmund Gauntlet]], and the [[Startide Nexus]] (created when the Tau tried some experimental FTL tech and it [[FAIL\|failed spectacularly]]).

	The Webway is the main method of travel for the [[Eldar]] (as well as their [[Dark Eldar\|edgy counterparts]] and [[Harlequins\|the clowns]]) and the [[Necrons]] (via [[Dolmen Gate]]s) and was going to replace Warp travel for the Imperium if Magnus didn't fuck up. Essentially an ever-changing network of 'highways' through the Warp, it was originally created by the [[Old Ones]] before the War in Heaven killed them all - the Eldar essentially '[[Blood Ravens\|borrowed]]' the technology now that the Old Ones were no longer around.

	A specialized bio-ship used by the [[Tyranids]] to travel between systems, essentially functioning as wormhole generators by creating warped tunnels of spacetime. Using these tunnels allow the Nids to (practically) reach FTL velocities, but these speed-boosting ~~conditons~~ break down in the presence of a strong gravity well (such as that of a star system). And since [[Derp\|the Narvhal is the only bio-ship capable of creating these spacetime corridors and is completely defenseless on its own]], ~~its~~ a prime target for any fleet seeking to trap a Tyranid fleet in a system.
