    Don’t forget the hyper-evolved aliens that gave Geordi his groove back. They were going in excess of warp 10/11 as well.

  The semi-established canon in second wave Trek was that 10 could not be reached. Semi-established because there were higher numbers in TOS iirc. So Tom Paris went too far, in more than one way.

    TOS used a completely different warp scale with no upper maximum, hence the higher numbers in use.

    When they made TNG they redesigned the scale to be exponential, with warp 10 being the upper limit because at that point the object has infinite velocity and exists everywhere simultaneously.

      I dont know if this is ever established in canon, but my theory is this is what allows the Borg to travel nearly instantaneously. Their transwarp corridors allow them to compress the infinite possibilities down to finite paths, and they’re limited only by where they have established transwarp exit nodes. Otherwise they’d go all salamander-ey everytime they used transwarp.
