As is well known, Star Trek is a masterpiece that has been known worldwide since 1966 as a science fiction set in the famous galaxy universe. A starship (Enterprise) arrives in a star system in a short period of time to a star system that is tens, hundreds and thousands of light years away from the Earth. This method of making a starship reach a distant star system is skillfully expressed in the movie using images.

Unfortunately, however, there is no concrete explanation from the physical point of view of the propulsion method of the starship and the principle of warp navigation, that is, the space propulsion theory and the space navigation theory.

This paper is an attempt to explain Star Trek’s space navigation by applying the hyper-space navigation theory to the field propulsion theory that the author has published in international conferences and peer-reviewed journals since 1993 [1].

Since this paper mainly describes the concept of the principle, most of the mathematical expressions are reduced. See the references for theoretical formulas [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
