Overview
==Overview==
Warpspace is a mirror dimension of random pure energy known as [[Chaos]]. Existing as a mirror in parallel to our own reality, the [[Materium]], it is the domain of the [[Gods of Chaos]].{{Fn|5}} The Warps Warp's existence is fueled by the emotions and souls of all sentient beings in the Materium.{{Fn|5}} Warpspace is without form and the laws of time and space do not apply there, for both size and time are simultaneously infinite and irrelevant within The Warp.{{Fn|3}} Its energies are in constant turmoil, subject to endless disturbances.{{Fn|3}}
The common analogy used to describe Warpspace compares the Warp to a vast sea of energy, which is subject to constant movement, currents, undertows, etc. Although with its own reality, Warp Immaterial space and real space do bear a relationship as the dimensions parallel to with each other. The fact that they share this relationship allows a Warp-capable craft to enter the Warp, carried for a time along the Warp flows, until reemerging into real space a distance away from its starting point. The common metaphor used for Warp-jumping compares the Warp to a fast flowing stream. Its motionless banks represent real space. A leaf dropped into the water upstream will be carried along by the currents. This is a useful metaphor in understanding Warpspace, although the Warp is far more complex in its movements than a linear stream. The Warp moves in endlessly unpredictable and convoluted patterns.{{Fn|3}}
