The Spore Drive is a fictional propulsion system featured in the Star Trek universe, specifically in the series Star Trek: Discovery. It allows starships to travel vast distances instantaneously by utilizing a network of mycelial spores that connect different points in space. This technology is based on the concept of a fungal network, enabling ships to "jump" across the galaxy. The Spore Drive relies on a unique organism called the Tardigrade, which can navigate the mycelial network. This drive represents a significant advancement in space travel within the Star Trek lore, offering a new method of exploration and combat for starships.
