How could something so small be so incredibly powerful???
What is in one of those that allows a gigantic borg cube to travel literally hundreds times the speed of federation ships?
...And if voyager knew how to integrate one, how come they can't make one?

well they cannot be replicated. not everything can be replicated such as dilithium ore.

Yeah, that makes sense. Certain principals cannot be replicated for various reasons. Like you wouldn't want to override a food replicator and have it replicate an overactive nuclearic partical because you'd probably vaporize yourself instantaniously.

Well, that too; but the point is that replicators can only do so much. Some things are simply too molecularly complex for a replicator to replicate.

Then why not just build one??
You don't have to replicate EVERYTHING...
I'm not saying Voyager had the capabilities to make one, but why can't the Federation...they have hundreds of planets of resources.
Heh, I think that a Star Trek series in the future is in order...with transwarp as the main propulsion system...or better yet, Quantum Slipstream  .

Why would quantum slipstream be better? It's slower that transwarp...
