Tachyon

Tachyons were particles that built up on a ship in hyperspace, and were released in a distinctive flash when it reverted to realspace.

Hypermatter was composed of tachyonic particles and when these charged particles were exposed to the constraints of the lower dimensions of realspace produced near-limitless energy.^[1]

Behind the scenes

Out of universe, tachyons are theoretical particles that move faster than the speed of light, and travel backwards through time.
