  Just a trivia point here: Ships in star wars don't use warp drive, they enter hyperspace.

  Yea, the Star Trek universe equivalent of hyperspace is known as subspace.
  
  Although similar in concept to hyperspace, subspace plays a slightly different role in FTL travel. Subspace exists in layers, all of which are "below" normal three-dimensional spacetime much like the different layers of a cake. When a starship is traveling at FTL speeds (commonly known as "warp" in the Star Trek universe), the ship itself does not enter subspace. Instead, the ship either reacts a steady stream of deuterium and anti-deuterium together, or else taps the massive energy of an artificial quantum singularity in order to power large subspace field-generating coils ("warp engines"). The field (known as a warp field) extends into subspace, allowing the enclosed starship to travel at FTL speeds while it remains within an inner sphere of normal spacetime (similar in concept to a 20th century hydrofoil). Wrapping a spaceship within the warp field prevents the relativistic time dilation normally associated with standard FTL travel, and allows interstellar travel to continue in a reasonable amount of time.
  
  Deuterium, also called heavy hydrogen, is a stable isotope of hydrogen with a natural abundance in the oceans of Earth of approximately one atom in 6,400 of hydrogen (~154 ppm).

  Thanks. I was approaching this almost exactly the same way in Cinema4d using particle system also, but it was not looking right.
  
  Realized my ship was SO big it was not going to look right. S0 am opting to composite it in layers in post ( After Effects). The effect, The ship
