Solitons in space–time capable of transporting time-like observers at superluminal speeds have long been tied to violations of the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions of general relativity. The negative-energy sources required for these solitons must be created through energy-intensive uncertainty principle processes as no such classical source is known in particle physics. This talk presents an approach for overcoming this barrier, explicitly constructing a class of soliton solutions that are capable of superluminal motion and sourced by purely positive energy densities. This is the first example of hyper-fast solitons resulting from conventional sources, reopening the discussion of superluminal mechanisms rooted in conventional physics. I will also comment on the place this work takes in the larger literature, including recent contributions to the literature.
