A high-energy turn (HET) is a maneuver that allows one to turn a starship very rapidly. The odds of success varies greatly upon the mass of the starship in question. By using additional energy, the ship can be made to turn at a much higher rate than usual. This allows a ship to make up to a 180° turn nearly instantaneously. It is also called a "warp turn" because performing an HET requires the generation of a warp field. Also, it requires some time to allow the warp field to be created and, as such, using HETs can be quite tricky. (Starfleet Command (game))

As one might expect, this was not good on the ship. The hull, systems, and crew took a tremendous strain. Eventually this strain would result in a breakdown. Some ships were better at making HETs without having a breakdown and ships with superior flight controllers could make more HETs without suffering a breakdown. It was also called a "warp turn" because performing an HET required the generation of a warp field. (RIS Bouteina, Star Fleet Battles)

By using additional energy, the ship can be made to turn at a much higher rate than usual. This allows a ship to make up to a 180° turn nearly instantaneously. There are also drawbacks to performing high-energy turns. The hull, systems, and crew take a tremendous strain. Eventually this strain will result in a breakdown.

(RIS Bouteina, Star Fleet Battles) Even ships as massive as PumwI'-class prison ships could perform HETs; however, the last recorded use of an HET on a ship of that class resulted in a fifty-fifty chance of success. (RIS Bouteina: "Eidolon") It was generally not recommended to perform a high-energy turn while under cloak, as doing so would damage the cloaking device. Also, the Norexan-class ship was capable of a high-energy turn. (RIS Bouteina: "The Whole Kitten Kaboodle") Ships of the Stoneship-class could perform a HET at 0.75c within a 100 km radius.
