The NX-Beta on the flight to break the warp 2 barrier
The warp 2 barrier was a warp barrier.
Warp factor 2 was the theoretical maximum warp speed in the early stages of Vulcan and Earth warp technologies. After the invention of warp drive by the Vulcans, it took them a hundred years to design an engine capable of breaking the warp 2 barrier. (ENT: "First Flight")
In the 22nd century, such Earth ships as the ECS Horizon, an Earth Cargo Authority operated Template:ShipClass freighter commissioned in 2102, and the Starfleet operated Template:ShipClass survey ships were among the early ship classes with warp capability limited in technology by this barrier. (ENT: "Horizon", "Singularity")
It was not until the 2140s that the warp five engine conceived at the Warp Five Complex by Henry Archer broke the warp 2 barrier. In 2143,Commanders A.G. Robinson and Jonathan Archer demonstrated this advanced warp engine in the second Template:ShipClass prototype, the NX-Beta, by holding the ship steady at warp 2.5. (ENT: "First Flight")
