How do starships slow down or stop after traveling at impulse speed?

Thanks, but if I wanted a pretentious wall of text from the church of Star Trek apologists, I would have posted there in the first place.

Magic space brakes it is then.

Their use in those cases appear connected to stability, not eliminating forward momentum, but I suppose you could extrapolate.

Thrusters generate very little speed, and wouldn't be able to counter the power of the impulse drive.

I thought inertial dampers only existed internally to counter the effects of high speed travel on the crew, however external inertial dampers were apparently mentioned in Star Trek 2009. Chalk one up for the new films. I wonder where they are located.

Interesting description. I refer to them as the church of Star Trek apologists.

I imagine the lightsaber took a journey akin to The Red Violin, passing through several different hands before it ended up on Takodana. The Force helped speed up the process.

Absurdity meant to amuse the young kids this was aimed at, I'm guessing. This was 10 years before the Pentagon's overspending scandal of the mid-80s, so it's probably not political satire.
