faster than light travel theme
There is a space faring vehicle that can move faster than 299,792,458 m/s through space.
Notes
This theme is used only when the space is traversed in a more or less conventional contiguous path fashion. Travel through wormholes or other speculative instant point-to-point relocations are a different matter.
