(physics) Faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, the theoretical speed limit for travel within the universe..
Faster-than-light drives use element zero cores to reduce the mass of a ship, allowing higher rates of acceleration. This effectively raises the speed of light within the mass effect field, allowing high speed travel with negligible relativistic time dilation effects.
Use faster-than-light when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
