It appears that Higgsium could be used for more applications than just faster-than-light travel, if it could reduce the mass of objects to zero.

Also, I might be wrong here, but wouldn't giving a spacecraft zero mass just result in it travelling at the speed of light (like a massless particle)? It seems to me that the mass of the spacecraft would have to be made imaginary in order for it to go faster-than-light. In such a case, increasing the kinetic energy would reduce the velocity closer to the speed of light, and reducing the kinetic energy would increase the velocity. At zero kinetic energy, velocity would be infinite.
